After yesterday's posts, I'm sure you all know how much I hate the "silly season" and how I can't stand to hear the constant gossip and rumor mill concerning player transfers during the summer.

By JAMES CLARKSaturday afternoon, about 4:35 p.m. East Coast time, and it was time for a 50-minute stroll along the Atlantic Ocean in 90-degree sunshine on the North End beach in our beloved Ocean City, New Jersey -- heading south down the island, starting from the Seaspray beach. My good English friend Jim Sturman always says how southern New Jersey should market itself in Europe in order to become a must-visit summer destination. Click to continue reading...

After recently announcing that he is attempting a comeback, former Premier League and Australian international goalkeeper Mark Bosnich has commented on England coach Steve McClaren's choice not to include West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green in the side against Croatia. Although many believe (including myself) Robert Green should be given the chance to prove himself as England's #1, Bosnich seems hardly fit to comment, seeing how he recently admitted in an interview that he hasn't watched much soccer over the past 4 years and he is trying to get a contract.
