Pálsson (#44): The Newest VikingThe New York Red Bulls made the signing of Icelandic
international Victor Pálsson official today, confirming the player's recent comments on his
Twitter account that he had put pen to paper on a two year agreement. Pálsson, a rangy, physical
player a bit in the style of Tony Tchani, joins a crowd of holding midfielders that includes Rafa
Marquez and Teemu Tainio.
Sometimes in my life as a professional freelancer, I get
stretched in so many different directions that I must stop and take account of my sundry platforms

I had the opportunity to visit with the Duke University basketball team and their coaching staff
during the Thanksgiving holidays, and where it was great to be back in Durham and on-campus
visiting with old friends, watching their practice was a model of efficiency.
Coach Krzyzewski and his staff have practice planned down to the finite detail, and each member of
their staff are constantly in motion while working towards keeping practice sharp.
San Jose city officials have approved a Planned Development permit for the construction of the
proposed Earthquakes stadium. However, neighbors have until January 3 to appeal the granting of
the permit. The team hopes to have the stadium complete by 2013. If there is no appeal, the
team will move to the next step in next month, however an appeal could delay the process by weeks
or months.
Sports Illustrated has launched an initiative that will allow fans to choose its year-end cover
by voting on Facebook. The SI editorial staff has picked the top-15 moments in sports in 2011 and
the moment that receives the most votes will be the cover for the issue that hits newsstands on

2011 Philadelphia Union color commentator Taylor Twellman has officially left the team's
broadcast team. The former New England Revolution star striker thanked the team's fans for making
him "feel like family" during his year with the Union.
Twellman was reported as the next ESPN lead soccer analyst by Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl
because John Harkes' ESPN contract was not renewed.

Don't airbrush Beckham's legacy - from ESPN.
Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl is reporting that Philadelphia Union color commentator Taylor
Twellman is set to be promoted to lead ESPN soccer analyst, as John Harkes will not have his
contract renewed with the company.
Harkes has long been a target of criticism from US Soccer fans for what has been seen as a
career spent interjecting himself into story lines and less than stellar analysis on air.
Egypt ushered in the Bob Bradley era this week with their friendly versus Brazil.
John Duerden of Sports Illustrated writes of the task ahead of Bradley in his tenure with the
Pharaohs.
Even two hours before kickoff, the Egyptian fans were in full voice, chanting a soccer version
of a refrain familiar to anyone who had been in Tahir Square earlier this year as the Arab Spring
reached its zenith.

Via Andy Crossley, a brief description of the limited partnership arrangement pursued by
Arenaball hucksters in the 1980's:
For their investment, the limited partners received operating rights to their local
franchise, but little of the financial and marketing discretion typically accorded to professional
sports owners.

IN MEMORY OF BOBBY RHINE
Sadly, long time Dallas player and staff member Bobby Rhine died of a heart on Monday while
vacationing in Florida with his family. He was just 35 years old, and was married with two
children.
Buzz Carrick who has cover Dallas from possibly day 1 directs us to a video of Bobby Rhine speaking
that Carrick feels is a great example of who Bobby was.
MLSsoccer.com reports that former US national team coach Bob Bradley could be headed to the land of
America's biggest soccer rival.
According to multiple reports out of Mexico, Bradley is set to take over Mexican Primera División
side Santos Laguna. He was seen arriving at the Torreón airport on Sunday evening, reportedly to
begin negotiations with the club.

In last week's Sports Illustrated, Tom Verducci argued that baseball fans need to back off and
give 18-year old phenom Bryce Harper room to make mistakes and grow.
When Freddy Adu was 18, he was already the highest paid player in MLS and agitating for playing
time. His coach, Peter Nowak, famously responded, "nobody is above this team.

Vancouver has hired Carolina RailHawks head coach Martin Rennie to take over their team for next

So, what to do with my review copy of the new book about ESPN, Those Guys Have All The Fun?
First off, I have to confess I did once work for ESPN - at least the website. I wrote for the
soccer section of the site during the period when John Skipper, now the head honcho of the whole
ESPN shebang, was running the website, but as a freelancer, I never had any inside contact with
ESPN culture.

or the Caribbean Football Union chooses to do will be up to them.
The Philly Soccer Page » Who's driving this thing?
As the Union return to Earth from their improbable early season success, questions abound as the
defense tires and the offense continues to sputter. Despite an excellent start against Dallas, the
Union netted another goose egg and looked mentally fragile as they folded like a card table once
Brek Shea broke the deadlock.
Earlier this year Grant Wahl made waves in global soccer by declaring himself a candidate for the
FIFA presidency. Wahl was not nominated by any member nation's federation, but a light was shone
upon Sepp Blatter's unopposed run for his fourth term as the leader of the world's game. In the end
Qatar's Mohamed Bin Hammam stepped up to complete for FIFA's top job and Blatter squirms a bit more
as the world questions just how beneficial his reign has been.
Fans in the Fractured States of Cascadia will read the headline and say "Duh." Kids under the
age of 16 will ask "What's the United States Women's National Team?" Everyone else will go "yep."
But consider your perception of the importance of a regular season MLS game relative to a men's
World Cup warm up game.
Five-time Women's FIFA Player of the Year Marta Vieira da Silva dropped by the Sports

Porto has been dominating Portugal this season, and a large reason for that is manager Andres
Villas Boas.
Gabriele Marcotti of Sports Illustrated writes about Porto and their dynamic coach.
There's a team in Europe that is still in the hunt to win every competition this season. A club
which is dominating its league, ahead of its perennial archrival, which itself is having,
statistically at least, a great season.

Brad Friedel may be pushing 40 by the time the season runs out, but the veteran goalkeeper looks
likely to extend his stay at Aston Villa.
Friedel's agent, Tony McGill, said that he has been in contact with the Birmingham-based club
and talks are going very well.
