Okay, you can all relax now. Turns out that our hero, Arsenal captain Robin van Persie, will NOT be sanctioned for allegedly throwing an elbow in the face of defender Carlos Cuéllar, after all. Had the Football Association chosen to sanction him, and there certainly seemed to be justification for doing so, the punishment to both Robin as an individual and Arsenal as a cohesive whole would have been severe enough, considering the awful timing, to virtually end the team's season on quite a sour note.

The 2011 MLS Cup Final at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California is only days away, and with the Houston Texans on a NFL bye week, the Dynamo have been feeling the love in their home city. On Wednesday evening a rally was held in Houston for the Dynamo before their departure to California.

Serious questions were being asked of the U.S. men's national team's offense after six games in the Jurgen Klinsmann era, but the Americans answered some of them in their final game of the year.

The United States won its first game on European soil in three years with a 3-2 victory over Slovenia on a frigid and foggy night in Ljubljana, Slovenia on Tuesday.

Liverpool's Kenny Dalglish attacks 'disgraceful' fixture scheduling

• Manager angered by Liverpool facing two games in 48 hours • Warns fans he may field youth team in Carling Cup quarter-final Kenny Dalglish has branded the decision to schedule Liverpool's Carling Cup quarter-final at Chelsea just 48 hours after his team confront Manchester City at Anfield as "disgraceful".

A slideshow of some of the photos from the playoff rally.... I liked this shot of Kei Kamara

Sporting KC President, twitter tease and actual fan Robb Heineman spoke at the rally last night also. This is what he had to say... Another one of my favorite moments in photo so far this year..,

Last night the Kansas City Cauldron hosted a playoff rally at Power and Light District. A bunch of fans and most (maybe all) of the Sporting Kansas City players came out. One of the songs that was sung was a new one called because we got Kei. He is a fan favorite in Kansas City. He loves the fans and the fans love him him.

Remember Afroman's "Because I Got High"? Much like Alanis Morrisette's "You Outta Know" it was one of those rare late 90s/early 2000s pop songs that managed to sneak a blatant oral sex reference onto America's most mom-approved radio stations. Subsequently, many of us experienced that awkward moment where you are in a small confined space (i.

Why do so many English football fans hate their national team?

What do you think of when you read the phrase ‘England fans'? An overweight man from Essex wearing fake Burberry gear, snarling and looking like he's just returned from a BNP rally? Or perhaps St George flags flapping from numerous vehicles as people claim an impending World Cup victory.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill -- The Chicago Fire knew they couldn't afford anything less than a win on Sunday afternoon and started the match like a team intent on securing all three points.

The Fire did just that after jumping out to an early 3-0 lead and fending off a late New England rally to post a 3-2 victory at Toyota Park on Sunday afternoon.

A pair of goals by Kailey Anders pushed Arkansas past Air Force, 2-1, Friday night at the Cadet Soccer Stadium.

The loss drops the Falcons to 4-4-0 on the season, while the Razorbacks improved to 2-4-0.

Anders scored the game-winning goal in the 72nd minute, stopping a Falcon rally.

I was watching the NDP rally that ended moments ago and thought would like to add my less-than-a-dime thought having saw a clip of the 1994 Malaysia Cup Final win over Pahang by the Singapore team.
The Prime Minister was quoting someone who shared with that moment as a 17 year-old by saying that "it was not about the victory then, but more for the fact it was a time when strangers come together and stand unison before the team.

If you had asked me a little over a year ago to name the eight teams most likely to fill the top eight places in the Premier League come May I would have said; Liverpool, Everton, Man Utd, Man City, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea. Not in that order, obviously.

Then our manager skipped off into the sunset and the season that followed will last in the memory for many years.

The win expectancy chart doesn't look pretty. A two goal rally is rare and difficult, more so on the road. Particularly when the weather and the referee shift it to a slow, physical game. That isn't the only chart like device that makes things worrisome. Look at how few times Seattle was inside the 18 with trackable actions (passes, shots, possession) by key offensive players.

So I'm sat in the Las Vegas airport awaiting my delayed flight home. The AO Rally was cool and if you want to hear about that go check out the day job. Met some cool people and hope to hook up with a few of them at the U.S.-Argentina match later in the month.
Now I hate to be so brief but I'm off to the Chili's-to-Go in Terminal D before I board because after 2 nights of gambling, drink, bad food and good times it's closing time.
