Dwight Yorke unretires, again!

0
This guy is like the Brett Favre of Trinidad and Tobago-an (?) soccer.

Not really.

Anyways, the ol' Smiling Assassin is back to lead the T&T World Cup qualifier campaign. He's 36 and after over 100 games for his country is probably the best option up front still.

Good times. Click to continue reading...

Like A Kid On Christmas

Look at all these wonderful new players!  After suffering through half a season of ugly and, let's face it, often boring soccer, it's exciting that there are finally new faces, the long-awaited reinforcements that will help us push towards a playoff spot.  Or at least that's the hope anyway.  Biggest of all the signings, of [.

0
Robbie Keane moved closer to his dream transfer to Liverpool yesterday as the Merseysiders prepared to make an offer worth in the region of £20m for the striker and Juande Ramos, the Tottenham manager, admitted that his club would be duty bound to consider it.



The most pathetic goal celebration in soccer soon to appear at Anfield. Click to continue reading...

Mr. Big Stuff

2
Sometimes I forget, actually. I mean, the local soccer reporters see Becks at practice and after games, at conferences and what not, so after a while, it's almost mundane.
So I forget, at least now and again, that he is a big deal.

The Soccer Fidget. Just One More Reason for Your Boss to Hate Us

Dis-Abeled

1
This is a sign of how bad DC United's defense has been at times this season (and especially in SuperLiga). When I saw the news on Goff's Soccer Insider that Abel Xavier had been let go by the Los Angeles Galaxy, my first thought was, "Oh, DC should go get him." Then I came to my senses, [...] Click to continue reading...

Blanco bit

1
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...

Making money on soccer

I called Traffic Sports today myself. They're in charge of running the Guatemala/El Salvador game here in LA this weekend, and I needed a credential.
They also own Miami FC, but as this article indicates, their soccer empire is far more wide-reaching.

Beckham Says MLS is Better Than People Think

1
According to an AP report, Beckham says, "Soccer is definitely changing in this country, and it is getting bigger and growing...but it is going to take time, and I said that at the start. It's not just going to happen in a year or two. It's a long-term plan to raise the profile for this game in this country. Click to continue reading...

Quick Overreactions to Today’s Soccer

I don't know if I'll have time to do this every weekend, but I'm going to give it a shot as a semi-regular feature here. Little light right now, since the foreign leagues aren't playing, but I'll give you some stuff on MLS and SuperLiga. SuperLiga: Mercifully, United has been given the pink juice and won't see [.
