With World Cup qualifiers about to take place, there isn't too much happening at club level. But

The City of Baltimore has shown interest in a stadium for United. At this point I know United
would like to keep the team close to downtown Washington, but at this point the need of a stadium
outweighs any other options. The fact that United has had many failed attempts for a stadium, I
don't think anyone will be holding their breathe on this one.

The title to this article might suggest that I am providing some late coverage on Arsenal
striker Nicklas Bendtner's recent car accident while driving to practice in his Aston Martin. In
reality, though, this article is written in vehement defense of the player, who has certainly had

Seldom has a talented football nation witnessed the kind of humiliation that the Czech
Republic has suffered in the entire last year. In a World Cup
qualification campaign where they were placed in perhaps the most competitive of groups
alongside Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, and Northern Ireland,
perfection was almost always essential for the Czechs.

technically located at 1301 Shoal Creek Blvd, though most think of it as being on Lamar Blvd
(Google Map).

European champions Barcelona ended their dominant pre-season with a frustrating 1-0 defeat at
the hands of a defiant Manchester City side in front of around 90,000 fans at Catalonia's huge Camp
Nou Stadium. While I will stay consistent with one of my previous articles by conceding that
pre-season results carry little materiality, tonight's game should go a long way in demonstrating
just how foolish it is to write off Mark Hughes' flamboyant, new-look Sky Blues.

The hyper-powered growth at Manchester City is apparently not being limited to their
cash-infused roster, but their stadium, as well. According to The Guardian, plans to
increase seating capacity at Eastlands from the current 48,000 to 60,000 and eventually adding a
new training ground and "sports village" are already being discussed.

A capacity crowd of more than 78,000 was in attendance at the CONCACAF Gold Cup final on Sunday.
At the full time whistle, Giants Stadium appeared to be a sight of gross injustice more than
anything else. After resiliently fighting with their third-string side for the entire tournament,
the Americans finally fell to their bitter regional rivals, Mexico, albeit very harshly.

On the 20th of June 2006 in Cologne, Germany, I was sat high behind the goal in the
RheinEnergieStadion (then called simply 'The FIFA World Cup Stadium') when in the fourth minute, a

man sitting to my left immediately turned round and said 'any money it's Owen'.
