The 2-1 overtime loss means Sacramento State, making their first tournament appearance, plays
UCLA at 5 p.m. Sunday at Drake Stadium (in a game masterfully scheduled against the Galaxy's MLS
Cup appearance).
In a good omen for next season, however, LMU will return 14 of the 19 players who suited up in
the NCAA Tournament game.

The Liverpool player N'gog is a cheat and an actor worthy of nomination for this year's Oscar
for Best Simulation on A Soccer Field. His dive extraordinaire, earning his team a converted
penalty in Liverpool's Monday night Premier League match up against Birmingham City, will stick in
the memory of opposing fans like superglue on a toilet seat.

They say that girls can be a lot crueler then boys and it's no lie if you saw the highlights on
ESPN of the college women's soccer match between New Mexico and BYU yesterday. Defender
Elizabeth Lambert of New Mexico seemed to be playing the wrong sport as she tackled, punched,
kicked, slapped, elbowed, and hair pulled opposing players throughout the match.

Who says girls on the soccer field are too soft? look and see why Not that we want our own
Banyana Banyana to employ these tactics, but a University of New Mexico soccer player has become an
Internet celebrity for the wrong reasons.
Girl Soccer Player Pulls Hair
According to the Huffington Post Junior defender Elizabeth Lambert was suspended Friday for her
infractions the day before during a 1-0 loss to BYU in a Mountain West Conference semifinal.

Pistolas F.C. 06 November @ 01:49 PM EST
MARKHAM - He is creative not only on the pitch, but in his costumes as well.
That's right fans, Pistolas FC Captain Charles Eppich, pulled off another fantastic costume this
year, replicating the short and stubby former Argentina great Diego Maradonna.
He went all out too, finding a pair of old cleats that he drilled two holes large enough to slip
them on up to his knees, to capture the stature of Argentina's latest coach.

Of course I want my players to do well in soccer and go as far in the game as they want. But
most importantly I want my players to succeed in life first and soccer second. I think many
lessons taught on the soccer field can be directly translated into real life. One such important
lesson is sportsmanship!

EVANSVILLE — My father bought my son a chess board last Christmas, and as we walked the boy
through the ideas and concepts of playing chess, things seemed very familiar.
The familiarity was not only with the tactics on a battlefield but on a soccer field as well.

Apparently some pranksters with a line-marking machine vandalized a soccer field. Here's a quote in
reaction.
"To be shafted like this is a bitter pill to swallow, it's a balls up which may leave our next
fixture in doubt."
Too funny.

If there's no soccer field or large grassy area near your residence, then traditional soccer
(football) cleats are not of much use, are they? Consider the Puma Liga XL IT soccer shoe as an
alternative. These shoes are designed for indoor surfaces, and the rubber sole is non-marking.

If you don't live near a soccer field and you don't have a yard big enough to practice your
footie skills, then you should consider the Calle Primero Street Soccer Ball. It's perfect for
practicing your juggling skills or playing a pick up game of soccer in the street or in a parking
lot.

The Beauty: Just for the record, I don't really find Nerieda Gallardo to be a
"beauty". In fact, I think she looks like one of those terrible male trannies Ronaldo picked up in
Brazil. But, she is arguably one of the most well-known Spanish WAGs in the world, so I had to put
her on this list.

It's always been my dream to have one of those super high-paying jobs. You know, not one where they
measure your salary with 6 figures for the year, but one like modern day footballers have, where
they eek out a modest go at life on 5 figures
per week.
I mean, I'm out of shape, washed up, saddling up to middle-age and have the athletic ability of
Andrew the Giant (in his current state), but sign me up for about $65,000
a week and you
will see me run for 90 minutes on a soccer field like you could never imagine.

Around here we all make fun of Soccer America's Paul Gardner a fair bit. We all say he's old, or
that he's "lost his fastball" or that he's been making the same point for the last 20 years. But
the fact is, when he's on, he's on. Today he wrote about Eudy Simelane, a member of the South
African women's soccer team and how her life came to a tragic and violent end.

Any soccer coach wants their players to improve, but sometimes it is hard to quantify that
progress. That's why it can be a good idea to use statistics to illustrate the progress of your
players. We are not talking about goals and assists either. Any time you measure a physical ability
on the soccer field, you are using statistics.

Zinedine Zidane just happened to stop by the adidas ESP camp going on here in Denver and actually

Dear Alexi,
You seem like a pretty cool guy, for a ginger and a hippie. Actually, that's why I like you
– cause you're a ginger but you make fun of yourself for being a ginger. You're like, ‘yeah I'm
a goofy ginger, What? I'm still pretty cool and funny could probably kick your ass, so if you can't
look past my gingerness then like screw you dude.

Monday leftovers:
*The Galaxy's Chris Klein doesn't want David Beckham to, y'know, take things out of context. I

maintenance right now).

Today, we woke up in Columbus, Ohio to get ready for our upcoming match. After breakfast we got a
bus and went to a soccer field where we did a medium intensity training for 90 minutes, doing a
good warm up and interval runs like we would do in a game—some jogging, some full sprints,
running backwards and changing back and forth along with some slower walking for recovery.
