What a big win, and a big loss! Conceding the goal in that manner added another chapter to the
special Arsenal edition of 101 Extraordinary Ways To Concede A Goal. While the remarkable
comeback in extremely trying circumstances completely countered the impact of that goal in the
short term, the injury to Mertesacker will make the future games all the more challenging.
A bit too melodramatic? No, this is Arsenal!
Can we get back in the game?
Everyone loves a good comeback story. Americans, in particular, are completely fixated upon this
trope. Rocky Balboa, the Major League series (back when Charlie Sheen was a serious actor.
WINNING!), among many others played this story to its full effect, culminating in the 1993
mega-hit, The Sandlot, where puny little white kids (and one tall, dark, handsome
pseudo-Hispanic) showed that yeah, they could play baseball too!

The Uruguayan Apertura Championship kicked off this weekend with a marquee matchup between River
Plate and Clausura champions Nacional headlining the slate of games. It was the debut on the
Nacional bench fo Argentinean playmaker Marcelo Gallardo and proved to be a see-saw battled that
ended in a 3-3 draw.
I made a point a couple of days ago to look at some of the comments attached to a report on D.C.
United. I wanted to gauge the public temperature on Charlie Davies, who desperately wants to get
back into U.S. national team good graces.
Which is convenient, because Bob Bradley's program could darn sure use a forward capable of
scoring goals, stretching defenses and doing all the hurly-burly that goes with being a striker at
top level.

After months of anger, disappointment and regrets, now we're wishing the season wasn't about to

Not even Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti felt his team had a shot at the Premier League crown three
months back when the Blues trailed Manchester United by 10 points with 13 games remaining. And as
recently as five weeks ago Chelsea appeared to have thrown away any chance of retaining the title
after a 1-1 draw at Stoke, but Ancelotti's side heads to Old Trafford on Sunday in position to
complete a remarkable comeback.
I'm late on this one, but looking back on D.C. United's First Kick weekend at RFK Stadium, it
really was an amazing experience. There was Josh Wolff's ridiculous goal
celebration, Charlie Davies' remarkable comeback tale, and the excitement
and zeal of an opening night victory.
Manic depressive Roma implode again.
Phillipe Mexes, Nicolas Burdisso, and Francesco Totti fire Roma into a seemingly unassailable
3-0 lead. But Genoa storm back through braces by Rodrigo Palacio and Alberto Paloschi to pull off a
remarkable comeback as the Romans fall to pieces.

The Carling Cup is still a much derided competition, scoffed at and labelled a 'Mickey Mouse' Cup.
And while I agree it doesn't have the charm of the FA Cup or the glamour of the Champions League,
that claim is usually made by those who are knocked out or see their reserve players play in [...]
