Phil Schoen was nice enough to give the Brotherly Game some of his time about a week and a half
ago. The GolTV play-by-play announcer discussed plenty of topics with the Brotherly Game, some of
which included the Philadelphia Union.
Interview with Phil Schoen of GolTV
Here are some highlights of the chat:
- Schoen's time with GolTV, along with his coverage of Colombian soccer, has enabled him to have
a more advanced take on players from South and Central America.
Cesc Fabregas and Xavi guide Barcelona to their 12th Copa Del Rey final. Leo Messi had a hand in
both goals. Gol TV's inimitable Ray Hudson, "Messi, like a gazelle through the
cheetahs" couldn't have said it better. They meet Athletic Bilbao in the final most likely on
25th May.
AAAAHHHHHHHH I AM ARTUR BORUC AND THIS IS A LIST OF THINGS THAT MADE ME ANGRY THIS WEEK:
1. WHAT'S GOING ON -- THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON OVER THERE BUT I CAN'T SEE IT?!?!??!??!?! WHAT
IS IT?!?!??!?!??! WHAT IS GOING ON!?!??!!??!?!?!??! AHHHHHHHH I HOPE IT'S ON THE NEWS LATER!
Leo Messi scores his hat trick over the weekend. But this is not so much about his skills as
sublime as they are but Ray Hudson's orgasmic Gol TV commentary that accompanies those goals.
"Nothing less than the equivalent of a footballing bird of paradise. He is like Dr Spock, out
off his Vulcan mind" .

As your probably aware, Pies suffered a pretty large hack attack yesterday, knocking us off air
for almost the entire day hence the reason we're slightly late with this one, but it's a goody so
we hope you'll forgive the tardyness.
What we have here is Lionel Messi scoring the third goal of an obligatory,
barely-worth-mentioning hat-trick against Malaga on Sunday eve instantly made great by Gol TV
co-commentator Ray Hudson (a long-time Pies hero) reaching a point of euphoric climax in the
process.

- "[Real Madrid has] a great recipe but it's got to bring the bun out of the oven. It's got to be
a nice cake in the trophy room this year."
Anyone who has been following AFR long enough knows that we're Ray Hudsonites.

Just about every league except MLS in full swing this weekend. Some match-ups to watch. What
will you be hdtv'ing?
• The Ray Hudson Bowl
El Clasico.
Main dwarf...
Real Madrid and Barcelona. Lately this match has become more like a Catholic elementary school
game of tag at recess than a soccer match.
Today, NBC confirmed reports that they have hired Arlo White as their primary play-by-play voice
for their brand-new Major League Soccer and U.S. Soccer coverage. As many of you know, White has
been the voice of Seattle Sounders FC, and ...

As Revolution president Brian Bilello's self-imposed 7 day deadline approaches, we here at The
Bent Musket wanted to take a look at a few of the "serious" names on the short list of possible
candidates. With Paul Mariner re-upping his contract with Toronto FC (amazingly, Mariner re-signed
almost IMMEDIATELY after meeting with the Revs) New England was left with only a few truly solid
choices that made sense, followed by quite a few question marks.

candidates. With Paul Mariner re-upping his contract with Toronto FC (amazingly, Mariner re-signed
almost IMMEDIATELY after meeting with the Revs) New England was left with only a few truly solid
choices that made sense, followed by quite a few question marks.
Brian Bilello's announced seven-day window from the time of his conference call until the naming
of a new head coach is winding to a close, and so far we've learned a few things about the
Revolution's quest:
- There were around a dozen candidates identified and interviewed
- Jimmy Conrad announced, to no one in particular, that he was not interested in the job because
he hated football lines and had too much respect for Steve Nicol
- Paul Mariner, Steve Ralston, Jay Heaps, and Brian Bliss are definitely among the
candidates
- Paul Mariner ruled himself out immediately after interviewing, accepting a 2-year extension
with Toronto
- The candidates were gleaned from a diverse array of backgrounds, with MLS and non-MLS
experience throughout
It's probably a little late, but I'd like to take this opportunity to put forward my number-one,
most prized candidate for the job.
I've heard there was a special chord
That Ray Hudson sang when Messi scored
But you don't really care for pundits, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The Xavi pass, the Andres split
The baffled d decomposing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was low you needed a lift
You saw him darting on the pitch
His beauty in the floodlights overthrew you
He glued you to a Nou Camp chair
He climbed your throne, he showed you flair
And from your lips he drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Halleluja, Hallelujah
There was a time when you tread below
Dinho was fat & Marquez slow
But now you look down upon me, do you?
It was a wet night that saw the Strikers and over 7 thousand people witness a heartbreaker of a
game. The team looked flat and without a doubt the bunkered down Stars did enough to guarantee they
would be the first to hoist the NASL Soccer Bowl.
I'll do a season review in the next few days. For more on the game go to www.

"His biorhythms are vibrating at a frequency that would deafen a bat."
-Ray Hudson of GolTV describing another amazing performance by Lionel Messi of Barcelona this
weekend.
For those of you who do not know Ray Hudson, he is the color man on GolTV's American broadcast
of La Liga matches. To put it bluntly he is out of control, bat-shit crazy. A Geordie by blood,
Hudson plied his trade with Newcastle in the 1970′s before moving to the NASL for the rest of his
career.

It happened again on Saturday.
It was about half past nine, and I was wrapped in an imitation Snuggie that gives you a bit of
insight into how I spend my weekends. An exhausting marathon of football continued with kickoff
between West Brom and Chelsea, and I reached for the remote, wondering whether I should pull the
sheets over my eyes and call the whole thing off.
Now it's time for your requisite story about Sergio "Kun" Agüero and Manchester City, who around
4:48 Eastern Time on Monday was arguably the biggest thing to ever happen to England. Ever. Winston
Churchill? Pfft. Did he ever score two goals against Swansea City? Didn't think so. In essence,
Agüero's Premier League debut was so life-affirming people across Manchester -- nay, around the
world -

David Villa's goal in last night's Spanish Supercopa first-leg, as seen through the eyes of Gol
TV's very own verbose Geordie word-wizard, Mr Ray Hudson...
The first leg of the Supercopa between Real Madrid and Barcelona ended in a 2-2 draw at the
Bernabeu last night -a game which boasted it's fair share all the usual niggly Clasico hijinx,
along with a rare goal for Xabi Alonso.
Ex Miami Fusion captain and current Fort Lauderdale Strikers Assistant coach Jim Rooney was our
guest last night on Miami Ultras Alive.
Rooney was gracious enough to answer our questions about his Fusion days, including a number of
anecdotes concerning Ray Hudson's underwear and a his own sports bra (In tribute to Brandi
Chastain's World Cup goal) inspired celebration during the MLS All Star game.
After the Strikers played their best game this season with a 3-0 whipping of the Edmonton Drillers
we had our best show on Miami Ultras Alive#17.
We were extremely excited to have as our guest former Miami Fusion captain and current Fort
Lauderdale Strikers assistant coach Jim Rooney. Jim was a hard nosed blu-collar guy on and off the
field.

Presenting: 'The Feet Continue To Dance' a thumping dance tribute to Lionel Messi by someone or
something called The Wizard of Ox, featuring samples of commentary from Joaquim Maria Puyal and
the one, the only, the incomparable, Ray Hudson...
Via KCKRS
A musician by the name of The Wizard of Ox has paid tribute to Lionel Messi in the above music
video which combines highlights of the Barcelona magician backed by a great dance track and the
poetic commentary of GolTV's Ray Hudson and Catalan radio commentator (and journalist) Joaquim
Maria Puyal.
The Wizard of Ox is Crazy Ray Hudson, Barcelona and house music all at once; if this isn't the most
Miami thing you've seen all day your name is either Luther Campbell, LeBron James or Franco Panizo.

Sh!t. Yes. Anthony Gonzalez is back with more of the maudlin electro-pop that made Saturdays =
Youth so cotdamn unimpeachable but with a pinch of the great, grating texture of Dead
Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts. This is what I will be listening to for the rest of the day. Or
at least until The Wizard OX drops another prog-house remix featuring Ray Hudson.
Burrito not write in long times cause he peed-off with Los Estrikers!
The team is playing like poopoo! They need to play with huevos! Don't they know who used to wear
the Red and Gold? Don't they know Burrito's compadre Ray Hudson used to wear #4? Or that Teófilo
Cubillas used to wear #10?
Burrito ponders, Burrito chews on chew toy, then bites an old chicken bone, then back to chew toy.
STORY OF THE DAY
Ridge Mahoney of Soccer America writes about that growing passion for soccer in the USA that you
and I feel everyday. It may not be huge or the best, but you can literally feel the vibrations of
it all getting slowly bigger and bigger.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Trying to defend Barcelona is like trying to nail Jello to the ceiling.
Mostly because he likes listening to Uncle Ray's stories:
Where is MLS' mini-Mourinho? Where is a coach who can expertly divert attention away
from his players, who can make himself a bulls-eye for the media? One who is as much a star off the
field as his squad is on it?
Clearly Freedman's never paid attention to what's going on in Seattle.
There is a lot of crap which gets filtered through The Offside email. A lot. Most of it
promising things which are simply not possible outside of inventing a time machine such that our
mothers can mate with a minotaur. (Not adverse, mind you.)
An original song came through recently.

November 18, 2003 should have been one of the greatest, if not THE greatest day in American
soccer history. Instead, i's remembered with disgust and resentment by a miniscule handful of
soccer fanatics. If you find yourself pondering why this particular date is so significant, I
commend you, as you've managed to erase one of the most tragic soccer stories from the bowels of
your brain.
Last week, I picked 18-man all time rosters for each MLS team, with the stipulation of using each
player only once. Why not do the same for head coaches? This won't be nearly as long or tough.
Let's take a look.
Right off the bat, it's more simple because several teams have only one possible selection (which
means that I have no other choice but to use them).
Here is a recap of South Florida Soccer news for today.
Fort Lauderdale Strikers
The Sun Sentinel announced yesterday that the Strikers will have a press conference today to
announce that Tim Robbie will take over as the Strikers President, replacing Aaron Davidson who
will now concentrate on his role as NASL CEO.
