Tonight Rafa Benitez is on the managerial tightrope when his side faces Lyon in the Champions
League. Liverpool have to win, if Fiorentina and Lyon win then Liverpool can say goodbye to major
silverware this season and Benitez can probably say goodbye to his job.
Benitez's side is decimated by injuries and an awful lot of responsibility is on the shoulders
of Fernando Torres tonight if he plays.

Well, it's 3 points, right? It wasn't the best performance by any means. But we got the win
after so many times saying "we were the better team but still lost," I'm much happier when the
opposite is true. And as I discussed in the preview yesterday, it's very, very tough to go to
Craven Cottage and come out with 3 points.

Can we look forward in anything other than trepidation?The all conquering Dutch stand between
Scotland and a place in the play off. Except they don't really. We know three points is a must but
even then it might not be enough. What a classically Scottish story that would be.Can we do it?
Well, yes we can.

He's already got the abs, the pointy beard, and the move-bitch-get-outta-my-way attitude. He
just needs a sword (and a leather loincloth), and then he'll be all set for world domination.

Slick Arsenal put Celtic to the sword
Full Article
The speed and movement of Arsenal hurtled them into the group stage of the Champions League. A
recovery at the Emirates next week is inconceivable for Celtic. Their supporters had relished this
occasion from the moment the draw was made, but it is a sign of the visitors' excellence that it is
now a night to be forgotten.

MLS Rumors 22 July @ 02:44 AM EST
After a spirited and hard fought game with some injuries United move on to their second US Open Cup
final at RFK Stadium in two years. United once again let a lower league side hang around all for
most of the game, almost playing down to their opposition rather than putting them to the sword
early until controversial referee Abbey Okulaja made one of his trademark calls and pointed to the
spot due to a ball which may have been kicked into a Rochester player's arm.

So, it has taken a little while but we finally blended the LA Vale boys and the Dinamo boys.
There's a long story in there - and I'm not sure if I'm ready to write it down yet - but Matty,
Baldy Nick and Chappers joined Dinamo Spartak this season.
They're kicking off in Municipal Parks Over 30 'A' Division, and in all of the duck-like action the
over 30 games kicked off last week under the radar.

Arsenal won the league by 25 points, losing only twice, and last night defeated Liverpool 4-1 in
the First leg of the FA Cup final. It was a masterful performance, from what I hear, and though it
was broadcast on Setanta in England the match wasn't available here in the states so, I didn't get
a chance to watch.

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez insists that Manchester United can still crack under the pressure in
the title run-in.
The Reds went to the top of the Premier League on Saturday as they put Hull City to the sword at
the KC Stadium.
But the Merseysiders' time at the summit was brief as United came from 2-0 down at half-time to
crush Tottenham with five second half goals at Old Trafford.

team, put Pompey to the sword if their Premier League title ambitions are to be realised...

I truly don´t get soccer fans here in the States. Fans here want the league to get respect or
think that there is a sense of entitlement that their league deserves. Get in line.
I will tell you for starters, I have been considered a huge MLS basher, and that is farther from
the truth.

We've all been laid up around here with a serious case of Cesc-itas.
That's the result of a Cesc performance in a 2-0 win that was so top shelf, Arsenal Supporters
chuckled with delight as Cesc carved up the visitors. That's one to the sword since the Cesc
return.
The story of this season is perfectly following the story of Euro 2008.

The Offside 05 January @ 04:16 PM EST
What ever happened to a post-game handshake and pint? A couple weeks ago it was a man, after taking
offense to a sending off, returning to the scene of the perceived crime wielding a chainsaw. No
doubt a response steeped in logic. So logical it happened again recently in South Yorkshire in a
game between [.
