This is how crazy ideas get started. It's only a matter of time before someone patents it and calls it a sport.
Would the sport be better on grass or indoors with a machine running the balls back up?
Many variations could be offered for Foot Bowling. Widening the lane could be one option.

Their Words We all agreed a change of direction was needed to reverse the trend of the past couple of years. New England Revolution investor/operator Jonathan Kraft. Other Sources Red Bulls coach Hans Backe confident Thierry Henry, Rafa Marquez will help carry team in MLS playoffs - from The Newark Star-Ledger's Frank Giase: Henry, however, didn't agree.

I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure that when Don Garber gave the greenlight for the league's current playoff system, he didn't honestly envision that 17 teams would remain mathematically alive for the postseason on September 29th.

Think about that for a second. In addition to Seattle, Salt Lake, and Dallas, the five-win Revolution, six-win Toronto, and six-win San Jose, despite their horrid records and overwhelmingly disappointing form this season, are all eligible for the playoffs right now.

It happens like clockwork. Every year, Landon Donovan's name is linked with some European soccer team.
The latest story had AS Roma interested in bringing Donovan to Italy. Boston investor Thomas DiBenedetto expressed interest in bringing Donovan and Michael Bradley to the team where he has gained a controlling interest.

The new ownership group of AS Roma has set aside 10 million euros ($14 million) to buy Landon Donovan's rights, and also may have U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley on the radar screen.
Thomas DiBenedetto, whose bid for Roma is pending approval of Italian financial regulators, is a Boston-based entrepreneur who is a partner in New England Sports Ventures, which owns the Boston Red Sox and last fall purchased a controlling interest in Liverpool FC.

Despite winning trophies in the last two seasons, FA Cup 2009 & League Cup 2010, and reportedly attracting an investor willing pump serious money into the club it appears negotiations ain't going well and the the guys may well walk away from the deal, possibly taking some of the team with them.

By J Hutcherson - WASHINGTON, DC (Apr 11, 2011) US Soccer Players -- With Arsenal now in the control of Colorado Rapids investor/operator Stan Kroenke, it's worth wondering what club takes the Gunners' place as the one that's too precious to be sullied by American ownership. After all Queen and country were out in force a few years ago over the possibility that Arsenal might end up owned by someone without a British passport.

As expected Racing Santander have reappointed former coach Marcelino Garcia to replace the sacked Miguel Angel Portugal.

Racing, who were taken over last month by Indian investor Ahsan Ali Syed, terminated Portugal's contract on Monday and Marcelino has agreed a deal until the end of next season, a club spokesman said.

The current owners do not have the resources to match other A-League clubs.
While they are happy to have an investor or investors, for the right and big price, take minority interests, they will not give up control. Unfortunately, this has been a deal breaker for ambitious potential owners.

Its a slow news day around these parts for me. What can I say I really don't care to talk about the hundreds of players rumored to come to MLS during this transfer window. Just isn't my cup of tea at the moment.

Instead I'm hitting the way-back machine for this one as Argentine club Boca Juniors is once again going public with their hopes and dreams of owning a MLS club one day.

Jeremiah took a tongue-in-cheek look at what Don Garber would say to the Miami Ultras and he met prior to today's Combine action. Except that the MLS Commissioner pretty much said what Jeremiah said he would.

Garber emphasized three points that would help most: getting the market excited for soccer, supporting the second division club that already exists, and supporting the Gold Cup matches to be played at FIU Stadium this summer.
