This is not the sort of morning that I'd relish watching a soccer game ... but two of my
intrepid housemates (applesrisp in hand) will be heading to Lewiston momentarily to watch the
Bobcats tangle with the Panthers. Would be so nice if Bates could defeat Middlebury ... and while

What a glorious tangle we've got, eh MLS HQ gargoyles? At this point, would you put it past any of
the teams still in playoff contention (oh hell, let's throw in everybody but the Red Bulls) to beat

We have had a great deal of discussion this week about officials' bias in CONCACAF towards
Mexico. However, I was a bit disappointed that many American fans see the US as a victim in all

There are a number of elephants but three are obvious.
Elephant 1. The ref was not up to it. Here are two incidents:
- on 59 minutes Matt McKay and Elrich end up in a tangle on the Newcastle penalty box. Elrich gets
up and grabs McKay by the throat. Ref doesn't see this. Then they push each other.
