Dimmed At Stadium of Light

Arsenal View From a Gooner 21 November @ 01:51 PM EST

Where is the marking?

Disappointing would be the best word to summed up tonight's game. The team lacked cohesion, tenacity and showed no real desire to win the game. One could argue that after almost 2 weeks away from each other and barely had the oppourtunity to train as a team lead to the dispirited display.

Irish Indignation – Society Is To Blame

Tottenham On My Mind 21 November @ 10:06 AM EST
By now everyone who has any connection to Ireland has had their say about the handball. Prime Ministers, footballers including our own human wind turbine, and, on the Today programme yesterday morning, A Rich Irish Bloke Who No One has Heard Of. My neighbour's Irish setter is in mourning. That must be why he was [. Click to continue reading...

Because I Should Probably Make a Pick For MLS Cup

I like the Galaxy to beat Real Salt Lake.

I asked my friend Dan Loney, who is a huge Galaxy fan but hates David Beckham like people who really hate things hate things, "Would you be conflicted if Becks scored the game-winner Sunday night?"

Party Like It’s 1979

kenn.com 20 November @ 04:20 PM EST

The future of American soccer appears to be the past of American soccer.

It's being reported that the new breakaway league consisting of several former USL clubs has registered the name North American Soccer League, apparently with the intent of using it at launch next spring.

There are those of us old enough to remember the original NASL (if you're not, go here).

TOA League Adds Tampa and Baltimore

WVHooligan 20 November @ 02:16 PM EST

Just when we were beginning to wonder if this TOA league would really get off the ground with just seven clubs they go and add two more. Yup, now they are up to nine as Inside Minnesota Soccer has learned they have snatched two prime USL teams away with Tampa Bay rejoining the group and now a new addition in Crystal Palace Baltimore.

Ben Olsen…retirement?

That Soccer Guy 20 November @ 01:42 PM EST

According to the DC United news source the Soccer Insider Ben Olsen is now considering the option of retirement. As the SI said, the idea was thrown around after last season with his 1 appearance last season.

Olsen is DC United. When you say DC United you think Ben Olsen. One would hope that when Olsen does decide retirement is necessary, he will stay with the club in some capacity.

Back in the USSR

That's On Point 20 November @ 10:00 AM EST
Holy Zombie Jesus, did a lot go down since the last time the Premier League kicked off a fortnight ago. First and foremost, my assumed title chase between Chelsea and Arsenal got thrown a wicked Barry Zito circa-2002 curveball. (Ok, for Brits, a wicked Googly.) Chelsea is going to have to play at least a couple matches -- and almost certainly the Nov. Click to continue reading...

Soccer Tickets Online 20 November @ 06:33 AM EST

Two things to talk about this morning that affect my entire sports weekend. First, let me say that I am very glad that my wife (who is going on a mission trip to a far-off land for about a week) is not flying through France or Ireland to get there because right now someone is probably screaming their head off in the streets of Ireland.
