First of all, check out this insane header goal from Martin Palermo of Boca Juniors:
Then, read Jack Warner's comments about England's bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018. No word on whether others within FIFA feel the same way or not, but that can't be a bad thing for the USA bid. Click to continue reading...

Well it looks as if the Toronto FC won't be getting a jab at the MLS Cup this year. At least not after their performance against the Chicago Fire. Chicago's Brian McBride put a late 78th minute goal past the defense and into the opposing Toronto net.

I have had a long-standing love affair with many, but not all, things Australian for quite a bit. They're kind of like the Texans of the Commonwealth; in my experience they're generally a happy lot that possess something of a pioneer spirit, can run a mean ranch, they can BBQ and they've produced some of the finest specimens of the female form ever to grace God's creation.

Some of our friend has started a i-petition to get La Liga Telecast in India. I am not sure whether this will make any diffrence. But sittying here idle also is not going to make any change. So this is one of our last resort. I want everyone to sign this petition. Once we have garnered enough signature we can take these to the Sports channels and give them the exact amount of fans whom they are depriving of a chance to watch the League.

Not Guilty!

You may have missed it, as the newspapers were keeping unsurprisingly quiet about that whole thing, but as it turns out those pesky Tottenham fans at Fratton Park who were vilified by the press for abusing Sol Campbell, well they had their cases thrown out of court. See below.

Come on out to CommunityAmerica Ballpark rain or shine for our 2 p.m. showdown with Cuauhtemoc Blanco and the Chicago Fire. Speaking of the Fire, check out this story from Ives regarding Head Coach Denis Hamlett and defender Bakary Soumare. Click to continue reading...

While today's news has been slow due to the mass amount of international matches on this side of the globe and across the pond. The links tonight are only a few because of that with my thoughts on mun2's job today broadcasting the US-Mexico game.

Kudos on one hand for getting a solid broadcast team in Schoen and Balboa.

We signed a petition, we sent emails, we moaned and complained, all in an effort to get NBC Universal to do something about the availability of the USA-Mexico match on August 12th. I don't know if...

It's been a rough week around here with technical difficulties, but now we're back up and running at full steam. Hopefully you won't have any more problems getting hold of us. How about some link city? But not City Link as the picture above might suggest:

If you were looking forward to watching the US-Mexico World Cup qualifier on August 12, you might be out of luck. Steven Goff is reporting that Telemundo, which falls under the NBC family of networks, is opting not to sell their English-language rights to ESPN for the match in Mexico City.
With ESPN, who have broadcasted the rest of the USMNT qualifiers this year, out of the picture, Telemundo will broadcast the game on mun2, a channel that frequently broadcasts in English and is geared towards a younger demographic. Click to continue reading...

As most of you probably heard sometime between yesterday afternoon and this morning, there will be no ESPN broadcast for the US-Mexico World Cup qualifier next month. Sad times I know.

Apparently the game in English will be shown on a channel most either have never heard of or even have on their TVs.
