The New York Cosmos have officially returned to the professional ranks of American soccer... and
this time it's not just for a brief merchandising blitz.
This is a sports franchise that carries a great deal of baggage, some filled with memories of
how great it once was, and many others filled with how swiftly it all went wrong.
The US Soccer Federation has approved a major change to the US Open Cup. A change that will
certainly enhance how the tournament is played in the US.

teams), the North American Soccer League (6 teams), and USL PRO (10 teams).

Arsenal's gifted young goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has made the latest in a long line of
footballing Twitter boo-boos. Indeed, it's not even his first offence.
On responding to a photo team-mate Aaron Ramsey has posted of himself at a golf event, theÂ
Polish international Tweeted: "I don't wanna be rude mate but you look like a rapist on that
picture.
It's January, and in the footballing world January means only one thing. The winter transfer
window, where player names are bandied about as potential new players and the ones we love to hate
are bound and gagged in hopes that someone will take them off our hands.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- If you were to ask MLS coaches which players at this year's combine
helped their cause the most, David Silva would surely be among the more common names mentioned.
The Mexican-born attacking midfielder from UCSB was one of the brightest spots at the combine,
showing the playmaking ability that his him considered a top prospect.
Sebastien Le Toux's departure from the Philadelphia Union certainly made headlines. There was much
made of the incident after the player came out and spoke his side of the story. It was emotional

Evening falls over Sutton, and with it comes the final match of the Second Round of this year's
FA Cup. Gander Green Lane has been here before, of course, in 1989 when the team in amber and
chocolate knocked Coventry City out of the competition the last time that a non-league club knocked
one from the top division out of the FA Cup and also in 1970, when a scarcely-credible 14,000
people packed in here to see Sutton United lose 6-0 against Leeds United in the Third Round of the
competition.
Long overshadowed by its more glamorous counterparts (i.e.: the S.League and the Singapore Cup),
the FA Cup is the third major tournament organized by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS)

After agreeing terms and completing a medical Fabio Borini is now officially a Liverpool
player.
He has requested the 29 shirt as it's his lucky number. Borini has never been able to wear his
lucky number at a professional club as it has always been in use.
We'd like to welcome Fabio Borini to the club and hope his lucky number 29 brings him lots of
goals for Liverpool.

It is entirely appropriate that Ipswich Town should have chosen last Saturday's home league
match against Barnsley as an opportunity to rename their South Stand as The Sir Alf Ramsey Stand,
for this month marks a very special anniversary in the history of the club. It is fifty years ago
this month the Ipswich Town became, against all odds, the champions of England, an achievement made
all the more remarkable for the fact that just five years earlier they had been playing in the
Third Division South of the Football League and was playing its first ever season in the top
division of English football.
