Good aftenoon everybody. Though late Friday afternoons are not usually when we have SBI Live Q&A
sessions, it has been so long since we've had one that this seemed as good a time as any to get
back in the swing of things.
If you are powering through your final hour at work on the East Coast, or just preparing for
your afternoon on the West Coast, feel free to join me as we talk all things soccer.
It's that time again. Time for us to discuss all things soccer in the latest SBI Live Q&A.
Join me at 1pm today as I field questions from SBI readers on everything under the soccer sun.
Want to talk MLS? USMNT? Europe? Or maybe you want some non-soccer questions, perhaps about music
or movies or other pop culture topics?
It's that time again everybody. Time to talk all things soccer in the latest installment of the
SBI Live Q&A.
We haven't had one of these in a while but I'm hoping we can cover a bunch of topics in today's
Q&A. Whether it's MLS, the U.S. national team, European soccer or even some pop culture topics, get
your questions ready and I will answer as many of them as I can.
Yes folks, it has been entirely too long, but after more than two months without one, it is time
for a new SBI Live Q&A.
In case you forgot what that is (and I wouldn't blame you considering how long it has been), I
will be answering soccer-related questions for the next hour or so from SBI readers.
It's that time again folks. Time for us to discuss all things soccer in the latest SBI Live
Q&A.
I'll be holding a Live Q&A starting at 3pm today, where I'll be talking about everything from
MLS to the U.S. men's national team's upcoming friendlies, to any other soccer (and pop culture)
topics you want to get to.
Time for you to send your soccer-related (and pop culture) questions my way and time for me to
answer as many questions as I can over the next few hours.
There's plenty to talk about. Jurgen Klinsmann, the U.S. men's national team, the MLS playoff
race, college soccer, European soccer.
It is that time once again. Time to discuss all things soccer in the latest SBI Live Q&A.

send them my way.

(and pop culture) topics you'd like to touch on today.
It's that time again. Time for us to discuss all things soccer (and pop culture) in the latest

With the MLS season underway, and with the U.S. national team set to return to action, it's the
perfect time to talk about those and all other soccer subjects under the sun.
Get your questions ready and join me at 1pm today as I try to answer as many questions as
possible over the course of an hour or two.
Good afternoon folks. While Live Q&As have become the standard on SBI in recent months I am also
aware that not everybody can make it to our Live Q&A sessions so every once in a while I will bring
back the old school SBI Q&A format.
Send in your soccer (and pop culture) questions and I will answer them in the coming weeks in a
series of posts.
Good afternoon everybody (and good morning on the West Coast). It's SBI Live Q&A Time.

questions ready to send my way. We can talk about all things soccer (as well as some pop
culture).
Good evening folks. It's that time again. Time for you to send me your soccer-related questions
and time for me to give my take on those questions in the newest SBI Live Q&A.
There is plenty to discuss, from the recent 2011 MLS Draft, to the U.S. men's national team's
upcoming 2011 opener, to the European season.
With the 2011 MLS Draft having come and gone, and with the U.S. men's national team set to play
its first match of the new year, it's a good time to have a Live Q&A.
Be sure to check in tonight at 8pm for the newest SBI Live Q&A. I will be taking questions on
all things soccer (and pop culture).

Time for us to talk all things soccer in the latest SBI Live Q&A.
I'm doing another night-time Q&A for those readers who can't take part in the regular mid-day

The MLS off-season? The NCAA Tournament? New TV shows? Best new albums? We'll be discussing it all
during Wednesday's Q&A.
- Jason Davis It's that time again, time for Jared and I to talk about random pop culture questions
like "What's more 90's"...I mean cover the week that was in American soccer. We start out this week
hitting on Jared's day at the World Football Challenge (ahem - meaningless friendly - ahem) and the
carry over effect on WPS from the USWNT run and thoughts about soccer owning summer.
It's that time again, time for Jason and Jared to talk about random pop culture questions like
"What's more 90′s"...I mean cover the week that was in American soccer. The boys start out this
week hitting on Jared's day at the World Football Challenge (ahem meaningless friendly ahem) and
the carry over effect on WPS from the USWNT run and thoughts about soccer owning summer.
- Jason Davis Another American Soccer Show, another 80's movie reference. This is what we do. As
usual, we complement our pop culture inanity with some quality soccer coverage. Since we've avoided
bringing up "Mannequin" to this point in the show's history, it looks like we're doing okay. Jared
and I start out talking about the Karate Kid and an impromptu "wax on, wax off" dance the Rodius
does during the open.
It used to be sports cards as a kid, but, now as an adult it feels awkward collecting sports cards.
It's easy to realize how human these sports guys are and how unlikely they fit as idols.
Its plain uncomfortable to collect cards of dudes just because they play good at a sport.
But, psychologists say that for surviving life's challenges and keeping optimal mental health, go
back to what you did as a kid and pick up the same hobby again.
How do you define who is, and isn't, a great? A legend? Or is that the same thing (it isn't,
apparently)? Gary Neville isn't a great, we know this. Is he a Manchester United great? Â No or at
least I don't think he is.
Instead, he was just a good player, the no-frills type, but unlike the airlines the term is
connoted with, Neville was reliable and consistent; a so-called 'team player' who is correctly
renowned today as the English right-back of his generation.
Soccer-Science seeks to bring a scientific focus to the game we love. I apologize for the
nerdiness, but such is my fascination with the field. Stick with me through the stuff you may have
slept through in school, and please don't come after me like Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds.
There will most certainly be some entertainment in the process.
Move over The Wanted, One Direction and, erm, The Osmonds. There's a new boyband in town. Sort of.
Lionel Messi, Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres, Frank Lampard, Jack Wilshere and Sergio Aguero have
joined forces with DJ Calvin Harris for a fusion of football and music as part of a new Pepsi MAX
advertising campaign.
Maddy's Note:Â Baby step number 2 towards making this a regular feature on
BigFourZa. Spot Kick is back taking a look back at the weekend's events. What the heck is it with
NLDs and long range screamers? Danny Rose, Tom Huddlestone and now Kyle Walker. Being a gooner is
hard work.
The 10-year anniversary of 9/11 gives all Americans a time to pause and reflect on life's meaning,
individual goals, the role of our country and the meaning of family. Coincidentally, it lands on a
Sunday, always a big deal in the sports world.
When 9/11 happened, sports became a symbol for the recovery of the country to normalcy.
"No more half measures, Walter." -- Mike "the Cleaner", "Breaking Bad."Is "Breaking Bad" the
television equivalent of the Spanish National Team?Does that mean Walter White is the erstwhile
Xavi of the idiot box?More importantly, is this another strained pop-culture crossover analogy by
your humble author to start off a post about something completely different?
Honestly, I barely understand who Justin Bieber is - as in I know he's a male kid who is a Tiger
Beat genre phenom somehow, maybe singing. That's about it. He's simply not in my personal pop
culture bubble. I never even was sure what he looked like until he was on The Daily Show.However, I
could not be more struck by what the little dude wears to play pick-up soccer in Madrid.
The Gaffer and I stay in constant communication throughout most weeks in hopes we can continue
to develop relevant ideas into entertaining original content for EPL Talk. Some weeks are
chock-full of story ideas because of the dramatic nature of the Premier League which makes our job
slightly easier.
