TFC training camp opens this week and it would be great to feel that anticipation for a new season rising in one's heart. New season, new faces would be a great motto for TFC to adopt. Toronto certainly seems to have roster spots available.
In the month of January we have spent more time waving goodbye than waving hello.

1. Well that was just the kind of performance we needed following the devastating result in Basel this week. We passed the ball around well and at long last put away a good number of the chances we created. Only Swansea have a worse away record than Wolves though and after playing them, it is obvious why.

The Montreal Impact unveiled their MLS jersey Thursday night, taking the latest step in the run up to their expansion season.

The primary, blue kit comes with matching blue shorts and is a pretty typical MLS shirt -- sponsor across the front, team crest by the heart, three stripes down either sleeve and MLS and country flag patches on the sleeves as well.

There were rumors of this last week. Today the signing becomes official though as the Seattle Sounders have added Bryan Meredith to their roster. The rookie goalkeeper had an extraordinary year with the Kitsap Pumas and it seems his eternal battle with Josh Ford will continue.

Their training camp battle went to the final moments and I would not be surprised to see either one as the 2nd keeper for any given game.

Why Alberto Aquilani is helping to bring down the Euro and the BBC need a new Fergie motto

Sometimes football can shine a light on a baffling world. And make you laugh out loud. We know where the world economy is going and we know that one of the worst hit economies in Europe is Italy's, which is teetering on the brink of going down the pan.

Less than stellar finishing.

• What's in a crest? (On Goals Scored)
• Whats in a triangle? Oh. (Surreal Football)
• Beginning the preview, if not the season. (LLL)
• The important predictions. (Avoiding The Drop)
• Something Barca motto-esque here?

Sometimes interviewing professional players is tough. Ego's, timing and personalities can make things difficult. However recently I had the opportunity to speak with Nick Rimando of RealSaltLake. It was an absolute pleasure. We discussed the team's ups and downs as well as his thoughts on the future and even the fan base in Utah.

The Montreal Impact won't be undergoing a complete rebranding upon their inclusion into MLS next season, but between the renovated Stade Saputo and the club's new crest, the club will be sporting a different look than the NASL version currently has.

The Impact unveiled their new logo on Saturday night, revealing a sleek, upgraded design and one that pays homage to the province of Quebec with a motto stressing that unity is necessary for victory.

We're taking a brief break from our lengthy (and, let's face it, exhausting) series of Premier League previews for a couple of days in order to bring you some round-ups on the state of the Football League, prior to its kick-off this weekend. Rob Freeman will be bringing you our (or, if they're hopelessly inaccurate, "his") predictions for the coming season over the next three days, but first of all here's a brief synopsis of the state of play as League Two prepares to gird its loins for the new season.

If the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) wins against Mexico tomorrow night, one Philadelphia Union fan will have an added bonus to seeing the USA defeat its most hated rival.

Allie Sullivan entered into Nike's #WeAreIndivisible Twitter Contest, which began on June 3, by submitting multiple tweets through the #WeAreIndivisible hashtag.

We're a little behind the times here at the Arsenal Offside, as we navigate the choppy transitional waters from The Martin/Sairax era to The Largely Unknown Jackasses era.

But finally, nine days after the fact, we have a post about the new Arsenal kit/shirts/jerseys/unis/whatever you prefer to call them.

Looks like the windows could do with a clean Get your panic in early before prices rise has always been my motto as a hardened Tottenham fan. But it does seem to me that this season is taking on a make or break aspect which makes the transfer window even more crucial than usual. Of course every season has the capacity to be a desperate plunge into the depths of a relegation fight or a rocket

In an interview with German press agency DPA, Argentinian FIFA ExCo member Julio Grandona started by pissing and whining about the relentless attacks on 'the FIFA family' by the English media, denied being glad-handed by the Qatar 2022 team in return for his vote and then went on to implicate himself in perhaps the largest-scale bribe ever to have taken place within the governing body's corridors of power:

"Yes, I voted for Qatar, because a vote for the US (who were beaten by Qatar in the race to host the 2022 finals) would be like a vote for England and that is not possible.

If he said it once, he said it a million times over the years. The motto for Sir Alex Ferguson has always been ‘PATIENCE' and he has been proven right more often than not. Manchester United could...

The motto for the new USA Nike 2011 third jersey (also known as the Red kit) has been selected. This follows the launch of the United States Men's national team's latest shirt on Friday morning. According the the U.S. Soccer website: CHICAGO (March 25, 2011) – "Indivisible" has been chosen as the motto for the U.

The United States Soccer Federation has revealed a new uniform and a new motto to go with it: "Indivisible." The single world slogan is the product of a "crowd sourcing" campaign, in which fans were encouraged to submit their ideas to team-sponsor Nike. Dubbed "Red All Over," the project created a lot of buzz and raised a big question: Why would the USSF want to replace the old motto, "Don't Tread on Me"?

When the United States men's national team takes to the field against Argentina, it will mark the debut of the squad's third kit.

The red jersey is part of U.S. Soccer's #RedAllOver Twitter campaign, in which the federation asked fans to submit a new inspirational motto. The winning submission will be embroidered on the sleeves of the jerseys that Landon Donovan & Co.

Didier Deschamps is banking on the feverish backing of the Stade Vélodrome crowd to give Marseille a valuable edge in the first leg of their tie against Manchester United, a club the coach describes as "an example to follow". The visitors have a number of injury problems for the trip to France but Sir Alex Ferguson is confident in their ability to cope as his team begin a testing run.

The keen-eyed amongst you may have noticed that Stoke striker John Carew unveiled some fresh ink not so very long ago, though you may not have spotted the rather embarrassing spelling mistake that lies therein.

The big Norwegian has had a tattoo on his neck that reads 'Ma Vie, Mes Régles' which theoretically should translate (Babelfish approved) as 'My Life, My Rules'.
