Time for Keane to shine in Torres absence

1
While I still believe Keane and Torres will likely make our best strikeforce since Rush and Dalglish, Keane has yet to make much of an impact with us. It's called a bedding in period, it's perfectly normal.

LFC have confirmed that Torres hamstring injury will keep him out for at least a few weeks, which means no Torres for the match against Manchester United. Click to continue reading...

0
Ian Rush has hailed Liverpool's ability to grind out results but is now calling for them to start winning in style.

The Reds legend is delighted Rafael Benitez's side have taken maximum points from their opening two league matches and now wants them to step it up a gear in terms of performance levels on the pitch. Click to continue reading...

FYI

I added a rotating quotes column to the sidebar (which took way too long for someone who considers himself fairly knowledgeable in CSS and HTML). There are 23 quotes so far:

• 'The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they don't know the game."
• "If you're in the penalty area and don't know what to do with the ball, put it in the net and we'll discuss the options later. Click to continue reading...

Robbie Keane £20m Transfer: A Big Gamble for Rafa Benitez and Liverpool FC. Is He Worth the Money?

2
LIVERPOOL fans are holding their breath over the signing of Robbie Keane. He's a good player, possibly a very good player. The former Crumlin United (Dublin) striker may even blossom into a world class player alongside Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres. And, there's a strong argument that Torres needs a fleet-footed playmaker snapping at the heels of defenders. Click to continue reading...

A new song is needed for our 'Keano'

0
Robbie Keane and Fernando Torres are likely to form the most potent strike partnership we've had since Dalglish and Rush. Torres has his awesome 'bounce song', Robbie is deserving of his own too.
I think it's fair to say that Scousers can be counted on to come up with a cool new song rather than sing a Manchester United 'song' (the mere thought of the Kop singing there's only one Keano makes me cringe). Click to continue reading...

Juniors Into National Finals

1
Due to internet issues this is getting out a little later then I would have liked. The U-19 Juniros won again today, 3-1 over Colorado Rush Nike down in Little Rock. That win, coupled with the win by Solar in the other game, means that both teams are 2-0 and will advance to the National finals on Sunday, no matter what their result is tomorrow against each other.

Our U-19s continued a strong run at Nationals today with a 3-1 victory over Colorado Nike Rush in a match that just wrapped up. Intern Alex will post a full recap shortly over at the KCW Juniors blog. We're now 2-0-0 and have the inside track to a place in the championship game on Sunday. Great work, once again, lads!

MLS Expansion: League Waiting Till MLS Cup

12
Yup, while some sites believe that MLS Commissioner Don Garber is going to announce something today about possible expansion to another city in Canada, I have received word that in his press conference he said nothing has changed in the league's expansion plans. "We're in no rush to expand at this time," said Garber. Click to continue reading...

Juniors Win First Game

1
The U-19 Wizards Juniors started their Nationals campaign with a big come from behind win against Freestate United from Maryland. The Juniors came from 2-0 down, scoring 3 goals in about a 15 minute span in the second half to win their opener 3-2.

Another update is that Sereno 89 White out of Arizona is not competing in the tournament. Click to continue reading...

Blanco bit

3
So I talked to a U.S. Soccer honcho about Cuauhtemoc Blanco's outburst at the U.S. Open Cup.
I wanted to know why there hadn't been any news about disciplinary measures yet. Turns out, the committee to deal with the matter hasn't even met yet. They'll decide the case in August, apparently. There's no rush to act, I was told, since the Fire is out of the Cup and any censure would only affect next year's tournament. Click to continue reading...

Another season of struggle for Newcastle United?

A trip to an Arizona Rush game

3
If you drive around Tucson it's possible to find billboards advertising Arizona Rush soccer matches. I knew that they were a women's team in the semi-pro WPSL, but not much more than that. Two weeks ago I finally got around to seeing a match and I traveled to the University of Arizona's Murphey Field to watch the Rush play the Utah Spiders. Click to continue reading...

I'm in a bit of a rush this morning, so will just go ahead and post some items I've found intriguing - without much commentary. First and foremost, the Red Sox won in a real nail-biter of a game last night.

Ballack Hesitant To Sign Chelsea Contract

While his teammates are back to pre-season training, Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack is still relaxing in Germany following his country's Euro 2008 final defeat just over a week ago. When asked about his current deal with Chelsea that only has one year remaining, Ballack insisted there is no rush to sign a new contract. Click to continue reading...

Madrid preparing to hoist white flag of surrender over Ronaldo?

0
According to Marca - Real Madrid's unofficial press organ - the Spanish club will announce the signing of Ronaldo on July 7th, which is just four days away. If that is so, then things will have to move on rapidly as United's position has not changed. The player is not for sale.

However, today comes the news that any deal could be scuppered if the player needs an ankle operation. Click to continue reading...

Turfed Out

Sometimes the topic for an article comes up unexpectedly. Went to interview Buddle after the Columbus game, because Ruud Gullit mentioned in his presser that Buddle has changed and become a "real professional." Gullit talked about how Edson came early and stayed late. So Scott French and I brought it up when we talked to Edson in the locker room. Click to continue reading...

Harry In No Hurry To Decide Future

The Australian winger is looking for a new club after seeing out his contract at Anfield.

Kewell has been linked with a possible move to Roma, who have already signed his former Reds team-mate John Arne Riise. Click to continue reading...

Rush Tips Babel To Excel

0
Liverpool legend Ian Rush believes has tipped winger Ryan Babel to be key in Liverpool's Premiership title challenge next season.

Babel is eager to get back into Premiership action with a bang after recovering from an ankle injury that ruled him out of Euro 2008.

And Kop idol Rush feels that the 21-year old Dutch starlet could have made a major impact for Holland in the European Championships if the ankle ligament damage had not struck. Click to continue reading...
