The groups for the Africa Cup of Nations 2010 were drawn today, which should go at least some
way to cheering up teams like Egypt and Tunisia who very narrowly missed the World Cup 2010
boat.
The tournament takes place in Angola from January 10th to January 31st, 2010. We've got blogs
and bloggers for 12 of the 16 teams involved in the tournament.

I learned a new weather term today. "Sun spots"
Now, I used to think those were symptoms of dermatological distress, something that happened to
aging skin, particularly for former glamour gals or golfers who had spent too much time under the
brilliant rays of summer.

Take your pick: a meaningless friendly on European soil, or fighting for a World Cup spot today.
As far as that goes, American soccer fans can't complain about their situation. Thanks to some
gutsy results in the final two games of the tournament, they aren't in Montevideo, with a tough
Uruguay squad looking to deal a knockout blow.

With less than 20 hours before kickoff in Montevideo, Costa Rica and Uruguay are just about out of
time to make modifications ahead of the decisive second leg. René Simões will be back on the
touchline after his suspension in the first leg on Saturday and is looking for "fresh legs" for
tomorrow's match.

Sadly, my viewing of the semi-final matches was limited this weekend. I planned to watch the
Galaxy-Dynamo match before hitting the road Saturday morning, but the delayed kickoff and power

Game story.
It was a weird ending to a weird season that started with a franchise in shambles, a new coach,
16 new players, seemingly interminable and in some cases lucky draws and a very public spat between
the team's two superstars.

Join Matilda and myself for some chit chat about understrength England vs understrength (but
still scary) Brazil, from about 30 minutes before kickoff on Saturday, November 14th, 2009. If
you're in the UK it's a 5pm kickoff on ITV1. If you're in the US it's a 12 noon kickoff on Fox

As he pauses a moment in the contemplation of why most of his goals are scored two at a time, Bojan
wants everyone to excuse our lack of updates lately, and hopes that we can get things back on track
during this international break! We'll have to do without the match report for Barca's 5-0 trumping
of Cultural Leonesa, but here is the match-related aftermath.

A 21-year-old Saudi striker Nawaf Al Abed scored the definitive fastest goal ever recorded in a
professional football match. The match was played between Al Hilal and Al Shoalah and he scored
from the halfline for Al Hilal 2 seconds after kickoff.The ref had just about finished blowing the
whistle to indicate the start of the game when he had to blow it again.

The Offside 09 November @ 11:50 AM EST
This is being billed as the fastest goal in history, and it's pretty hard to argue with that even
without the statistics right in front of you. Unless the likes of John Arne Riise or Michel Bastos
have unleashed one directly off the kickoff, chances are this is it. The fastest goal ever, via
Al-Hilal's [.

In my NyQuil haze, I screwed up the math. Through some combination of the time change (which
happens earlier in England than in the States) and me sleeping through my usual routine of checking
multiple sites to figure out the kickoff, I was an hour off. As I slumped into the pub, sucking on
a cough drop, I still thought I was early enough to grab a seat and some pre-match breakfast, but I
found a room full of sullen Liverpool supporters and a match well underway.

In the intro to every Premier League game that ESPN2 shows on Saturday mornings, they begin with
a graphic of the world and then zoom in on England and directly to the home ground where the match
is played. It's a brilliant sequence, but they goofed this past Saturday when instead of zooming in
on the Emirates Stadium, home of Arsenal Football Club, they zoomed in on the Arsenal Stadium,
better known as Highbury.

As the transfer window continues to creep closer many disgruntled players are beginning to air
their dirty laundry. One of these upset players is thirty-one year old Benni McCarthy of the
Blackburn Rovers. McCarthy really can't be blamed either. The vet who has been with the squad
since 2006 has been allowed only one start all season and Blackburn continues to struggle to seek
positive results.

The trouble with playing the big sides is that the games can be a bit dull. Typically said big
side keeps the ball, Fulham stand off, keep shape, but don't do much going the other way. It can
make for a painful watching experience, a reminder of everything Fulham are not and may never
be.

Every summer sees rampant speculation that Barcelona will finally pull Cesc Fabregas away from
Arsenal. In the lead up to Saturday's North London Derby, even former Gunner Emmanuel Adebayor
once again fueled rumors by saying that if Arsenal fail to qualify for the Champions League, then
Fabregas will be on his way to Catalunya come summer.

Stroke of luck you say? Not in my opinion.
Arsenal continued to have the upper hand over their North London rivals as we convincingly won
3-0 at Ashburton Grove. Many will say that up to the first goal, Spurs have matched Arsenal stride
for stride but that cannot be further away from the truth.

First of all, wow, what a peach of a game in Seattle tonight. The classic exciting 0-0 game. No, it
wasn't a work of art, and yes, Houston fouled up and down the field. I fully expect Sounders fans
to turn Rave Green into Rage Green, and I don't blame them one bit. Still, it was pretty
exciting.
Fine, the LA-Chivas USA matchup.
