It was a big night for the Missouri Comets as they set multiple records at the Independence Events Center in their 33-12 rout over the Syracuse Silver Knights. They set a team record for the largest margin of victory since the teams rebirth, with 21. They tied a league record with 3 players recording a hattrick (Byron Alvarez, Geison, and Vahid Assadpour).

Socawarriors.net is reporting that 22-year old Trinidad and Tobago striker Jamal Gay is close to a deal with the New England Revolution. The article states:

"Gay's agent Dion Sosa said the deal is expected to be for a year with the option of an extension.
According to Sosa the US club is eager to have the former El Dorado Secondary and National Under-23 forward under their fold as soon as next week when pre-season preparation kicks off.

Two days after the Comets fought back to defeat the Wichita Wings in a close game at the Independence Events Center, the Comets found themselves having to do it again against the Wings, this time in Wichita. Unfortunately the result wasn't the same as the Wings pulled off a 12-10 win over the Comets to get their first win in the series.

NORFOLK SHARX STILL HUNGRY FOR FIRST WIN Drop home match to Missouri 15-4
Norfolk, Virginia – The Norfolk SharX looked threatening in the first half of Saturday night's game against Missouri at Norfolk Scope Arena but were only able to capitalize once for two points during the first two periods.

After a hard fought, dramatic late game victory over the Baltimore Blast on Friday night, the Comets went into Norfolk for the second game of their road trip with high hopes. The Sharx have still yet to win a game in the league this season, and in most of the games they've played they've not been close.

Now that the shock has worn down from four Brazilian teams being ousted in the Copa Libertadores Round of 16, which concluded last week, the focus is now on the remaining quarterfinalists, which represent seven nations. The tournament doesn't have the usual overflow of Argentine or Brazilian teams at this stage yet each country still has a representative not only in contention but also considered favorites to lift the continent's most coveted trophy.

The Kansas City Athletics found themselves behind from the start as they started their attempt to qualify for their second straight US Open Cup in a qualifier against the Iowa Menace. The Athletics only had 10 men on the field from the start against the Menace. Talking with some Kyle Perkins of the Athletics after the game I found that a lot of factors went into them playing with only 10 players.

Here is the Line-up for the Argentina Vs Portugal friendly on Feb 9th in Geneva. The biggest surprise here is the omission of Carlos Tevez & Sergio Aguero. It seems that coach Batista is going to force the team to be centered around Messi. I guess it's worth a shot.
