Be honest, you'd forgotten entirely about the Under 17 World Cup and that's if you were aware of its running in the first place. We'll also accept admissions from those who confused it with the Under-20 World Cup (Lite) in Egypt won late last month by Ghana.

But it happened, and Switzerland yes, Switzerland took home the trophy, their first of any kind in FIFA territory, from Lagos against what had to be the heavily favored and exceedingly overaged hometown Nigerians.

I officially have no voice. It is not very nice and I am resorting to writing insults down and showing them to the intended recipient rather than just shouting it at them. Some people might say its karma, I just call it a bloody annoyance, and a painful one at that.

So we make the short trip to Upton Park today and it has been the scene of many a hardfought game over the past few years and on a few occasions we have come out of it with a big fat 0 points.

If your karma's in need of a little boost like ours, set your childhood manners in motion and do unto Ibra as you would do to yourself. Hurry, moments like this might not last forever.

Fresh off the heart pounding, wonderful, performance on Sunday, the Reds will host Stoke City Wednesday at 3pm EST/8pm BST. Part of that last bit was sarcasm and I will give you a hint, it was not the time. To say that this season has had an ideal start would be, well, ideal. One would think that it should be.

In the game against Blackburn, C-Ron did two pretty despicable things: First he swung a kick at David Dunn, because Dunn had the temerity to tackle him and win the ball.

This is going to go down as one of the worst sitter misses in recent history. You could even argue it was harder to miss the target than hit it. But while all of Scotland is up in arms, you'll also notice the flag never went up with Chris Iwelumo clearly offside (albeit slightly). [...] Click to continue reading...

4 seeds are the new 3 seeds; or, Transylvanians, Cypriots & Belarusians are legit. BATE were very fortunate to be eying a blonde Austrian rather than a turban-sporting Italian in net, but they were never predicted to sneak a deserved point. Cluj proved their Roma win was no fluke, even if they used a vastly different [. Click to continue reading...

After a beautiful weekend away and a great visit with HollyCornblog and CharlieHopbrew, there's a lot to catch up on. I'm sure I'll be back in the swing in a couple of days ... but right now it's pretty slow-going. On the USWNT front, Lauren Cheney is replacing Abby on the roster, as the team [...]SHARETHIS.
