Getting autographed scarves from Kasey Keller in random places turns into a crappy promotion for a

The slight air of unreality surrounding our season so far was further compounded by the sight of
Jermaine Jenas and Tom Huddlestone in an England midfield, baking under a Middle Eastern sun as the

Tom on his debut.

Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard were out last night at the premiere pre-party of 15
Minutes That Shook The World, held at Jamie's restaurant, Cafe Sports.
It was, for them, a blazer and denim occasion. Who do you think works the look better?
We're going to have to go with Stevie, who has obviously taken inspiration from the newest footy
fash trend, and gone velvet smooth for the occasion.

In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, I felt that Argentina had a fantastic team, were extremely
good to watch and probably should have won the tournament on these facts, but ultimately, they lost
to Germany on penalties in the Quarter Finals. This time around in South Africa, can they be
considered as World Cup contenders?

Chelsea had an unbelievable win over the weekend in a key match against Manchester United. In
fact it was like one of those over-the-top, cheesy type of sports movie rivalries between the two
best teams in the league facing off for first place. And the Blues made every right move they
needed to in order to guarantee that success at the most critical of moments.

Sevilla has been playing with a lot of confidence recently. In fact the squad has quietly
rested in the top three spots all season and won seven matches out of ten and only lost two over
that span. In other words Sevilla is one of the best clubs in the league. But could they be the
best?

I guess I could also have named this "My obligatory Elizabeth Lambert post, and why I have no
respect for US college soccer." By now I'm sure everyone has seen the video of Elizabeth Lambert's
antics during the Mountain West Conference tournament game between New Mexico and Brigham Young.
Heck, I've seen it on sports websites in the UK, Spain, Italy, and Argentina.

Three points but complaints about our performance. Fourth in the league, yet harsh words for our

If there is one thing that really grinds the Yank's gears it is when athletes that commit a
stupid act try to defend it weeks later rather then just allowing the situation to pass and
admitting their own stupidity.

a crime.

What a bummer: all set to be a national; assessments in-hand and doing the physical (which are not

good definition of sucks. But he's a great referee, who on more than one occasion has helped me out
