Peeved at the decidedly average 2012/13 season their side have muddled through this term, a group of Rapid Vienna fans staged a protest at the club's general offices in the Austrian capital by building a brick wall across the entrance to prevent management from going into the building.
Rapid Vienna led visiting Mattersburg 1-0 at halftime thanks to a predatory 12th minute strike from
Terrence Boyd. The Goal Sharkâ„¢ now has three goals on the young Austrian Bundesliga season and
five across all competition. Speaking hopefully, we have at least one clip to come...UPDATE: Wow,
that hopefulness worked like a gem - Boyd has nodded home the 3-0 on 66 minutes.
Rapid Vienna have very few reasons to smile these days, but the play of Terrence Boyd continues to be one of them.

Clint Dempsey and Terrence Boyd were at it again this week, continuing to light the lamp for Spurs and Rapid Vienna, respectively.

Tim Howard and Everton finally put an end to their four-game winless skid, and they did so in dramatic fashion.
Everton pulled off a late comeback against Tottenham on Sunday, grabbing a 2-1 victory after scoring twice in final moments.Steve Pienaar punished his former club and sparked the the Toffees' rally with an equalizer in the 90th minute and Nikica Jelavic found the winner in stoppage time.

Manchester City jumped back into the Premiership's top spot by dismantling Aston Villa, and the thorough pummeling could have been a lot worse had it not been for Brad Guzan.
Guzan had a five-save performance in the Villans' 5-0 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday, and he was one of the few players on Aston Villa who looked like they belonged on the field.

The U.S. Men's National Team takes on Jamaica in World Cup qualifying on Friday and with stars
Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley set to miss out, Jurgen Klinsmann will have some important
decisions to make on how he shapes his lineup without those two stars.
Without Donovan and Bradley, and potentially without Clint Dempsey, the U.
U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has consistently repeated his mantra that he wants U.S. players
competing on the biggest teams, against the biggest clubs, and in the biggest competitions. When he
reviews the group stage tables for the UEFA Champions League and the Europe League, he will
certainly like what he sees.
I know that I've made one too many 'Merica jokes on twitter and alienated many of you with my
"split allegiances" posts at Fox Soccer. However, I assure that I have white skin, blue blood
courses my veins, and that blood when exposed to air turns red. Thus, I am American. Emphasis on
the last three syllables.
New Tottenham Hotspur signing Clint Dempsey has been included in Jurgen Klinsmann's squad for
the home and home games with Jamaica.
Dempsey has to be nowhere near match fitness after missing Fulham's opening games as he tried to
force through his eventful transfer to Spurs.
But with Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley missing from the squad due to injury, Klinsmann had
no choice to include Dempsey, and also Carlos Bocanegra who went through a similar situation with
Rangers, in his 25-man squad.
The current U.S. squad had two players find the back of the net for their club teams this weekend,
bringing a little extra zip in their step heading into training camp.
Jermaine Jones scored the game-winner for Schalke when he finished off a mazy run with a rifle to
the far post, the hosts running out 3-1 winners against Augsburg.

continued his run of good form by inspiring Rapid Vienna to their latest victory.
Three days after scoring a goal that helped Rapid Vienna advance to the Europa League group
stage, the young U.

call up, though has immediately withdrawn due to hamstring injury. Landon Donovan is also not on
the roster after having suffered his own hamstring injury against Mexico down at Azteca.
The new USMNT roster has just been announced only minutes ago. Sean Johnson has again been
called up, which is great news for Fire and USMNT fans. He has earned his spot on the team with his
hard works and goal play, and Jurgen is rewarding him for it. This squad will be facing Jamaica,
not once, but twice back to back for World Cup Qualifying.
