I missed the first round of games on family vacation. While I still have the Gladbach-Bochum game on DVR to watch for fun, my first game of the season, albeit delayed, was Dortmund's 1-0 victory at home over Köln. It was a thoroughly deserved victory where Dortmund put the Billy Goats to the sword and could have easily won by half a dozen goals, so commanding was their display.

For the past few days I have had that damn phrase "what if" running thru my head. What if Stephen Hart kept the reins after the 2007 Gold Cup? What if that whole Dale Mitchell thing was just a bad dream?

I cannot see how the CSA can deny the man the top job. With Canada's 1-0 win over El Salvador tonight, Hart has strung together 4 wins for the nats.

Canada kicked off the biennial Gold Cup 2009 in California with a hard fought 1-0 win over the Reggae Boyz. Tactically, Canada played a great game and deserved the victory. Greg Sutton repaid Coach Hart's faith in him with a man of the match performance. Click to continue reading...

Victoria Beckham is portrayed as an overly ambitious Lady Macbeth, for whom husband David sacrifices his career, and the list of characters includes Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and Beckham's former PA, Rebecca Loos.
