While the New England Revolution has added experienced players to both the backline and midfield
since Jay Heaps took over as head coach, one area that has gone largely unaddressed is striker.
Since the Revs declined options on Argentinean striker Milton Caraglio and Danish forward Rajko
Lekic, no proven replacements have signed on.
Yesterday's Fire news was firmly in the "not good" category. In case you haven't heard, Josip
Mikulic is not with the team as he attends to personal issues. He may never return to the club.
Combine this with Yamith Cuesta suddenly being gone (loan ended; Fire opted not to buy) the back
line is suddenly very, very thin.
For the longest time I have been a type of Eurosnob, you know those fans who want the MLS to be
like Europe. I am not a fan of the single table, nor am I a fan of only the ManUre's of the world.
I was only a Eurosnob about youth development. They have been doing it there for 100+ years so they
have to know how to do it.
I'm sat in the pub. Nothing odd in that except I should be watching the opening game of the SEA
Gamess between Vietnam and the Philippines. But some smart alec with the IQ of a mentally retarded
stick insect decided to increase the ticket prices and tell no one. 150,000, 350,000 and 500,000
for group games in a regional under 23 competition is taking the piss.
That was embarrassing wasn't it?
San Jose is, essentially, a one man team. Take away Chris Wondolowski and you are looking at TFC
levels of ineptitude. The Fire let that one man run all over the place and be a holy terror all
night long. Don't get me wrong Wondo is a very good player who does that to a lot of teams.
Golden Ball anyone? 3four3 will be looking to hand out some hardware to the nations best college
player.
I've seen numerous lists of top college players/pro prospects in the last few weeks and quite
frankly they've made me laugh. The same robotic big athletic players are being hyped up and
called the nations top players.
Akron players celebrate their National Championship
We have decided to do some detailed game analysis during the college season this fall. We will
do our best to cover a couple of games on a weekly basis live out of Southern California as well as
some games we see on TV (FSC game of the week) or online video feed.

Andre Villas- Boas GQ style and football IQ did not impress Stoke
One of the most anticipated coaching debut's this season ended on a disappointing note as Andre
Villas- Boas a one time Mourinho protege could not get his side to crack open Stoke's doughty
defense.
Chelsea began with Fernando Torres declared match fit after surviving a concussion scare in the
match against Italy but despite the striker looking lively, he and Salomon Kalou were unable to
finish.
A banana-a-day, keeps Messi' growing! (FC Barcelona - The 'beautiful team!)
Whether it be their draculian off-the-field tactics, or the devilish
on-the-field one's, one thing is for sure that we now love to hate FC
Barcelona. Esp that piglet namely Xavi (and Busquests, and Pique, and Pedro, and Puyol, and.

Apparently our Landon has been D-Town down this week and has worked the Super Bowl party scene like
a total and complete champion. Dude's been spotted all over town at everything from the Playboy
party to Direct TV's Celebrity Beach Bowl. The shot above was from Pepsi's party (which was,
tragically, DJed by Pauly D.
When analyzing how this draft works out for the Sounders almost all of the attention will be on
Michael Tetteh. Sure, he was only picked 20th, so most would have low expectations, but let's
remember this line that Adrian Hanauer told Jeremiah yesterday,
Even the trading down thing was really risky, but we felt like the potential rewards
were higher than the risk.
