In June of 1975, Pelé assisted on one goal and scored another on a header to help lead his New
York Cosmos team to a comeback draw against the Dallas Tornado.
Pro Soccer's triumphs and tribulations have been well documented over the years. Much has been made
about Pele's contribution and how he influenced the game's growth in the 1970's.
It was 35 years ago today that The Black Pearl made his NASL debut for the New York Cosmos.
Pele assisted on one goal and scored the other in a 2-2 friendly draw with the
Dallas Tornado at Downing Stadium on Randalls Island in New York.
That was the start of Pele's two-and-a-half year run in the NASL, which culminated with the 1977
Soccer Bowl title.
Ukraine went to veteran Andrey Shevchenko who showed he still has a plethora of goals in him. Or
is it cornucopia? Or maybe multitude works better? Or myriad?
The Iraqi commentator celebrated Shevchenko's goals by yammering about "Chernobyl" which if one
Googles up the connection is a reference to how Sheva at age 9 and his family were uprooted from
their village following the 1985 Chernobyl nuclear disaster and forced to relocate to the
coast.
The rivalry between the Mexican and US national soccer teams is a roiling tornado, churning up
popular sentiment from the ground and redistributing the molecules of culture and sport upwards
into the atmosphere in a scrambled, often confused tempest. There are stories from families with
split loyalties, friends who travel thousands of miles to bathe in the rivalry and cultural clashes

The PSP writers discuss how the Philadelphia Union look ahead of the start of the 2012
season. Part two will appear on Wednesday.

Pro Soccer Weekly is proud to present Part 1 of an interview that I recently conducted with Ron
Newman. You can click the link and read the description about Ron's career, which clearly
demonstrates all that he gave to the American game. Quite simply, without people like Ron Newman
there wouldn't be much to American soccer.

One wonders just how loud the roars of disapproval and nasty abuse will have to get at Ewood
Park before the Venky's finally decide to re-think their consistent support of manager Steve

O atacante marfinense Didier Drogba, do Chelsea, admitiu nesta quinta-feira adiar a operação na
hérnia de disco, que o afastaria de toda a temporada. Pesou a favor da continuidade do jogador o

Já é figura histórica do Tour com esta terceira vitória, mas ainda longe de Armstrong,
Indurain, Anquetil e Merckx, mas também, dada a sua juventude, tem tempo para lá chegar. Apesar
daquela falha de fair-play, poderia ter-se tornado ainda maior se tivesse esperado por Schleck,
mostrou no Tourmalet e depois no contra-relógio que é o maior ciclista da actualidade.
Well, UEFA president Michel Platini has finally realized that these crazy transfer fees are out

Jon Gordon's book 'The No Complaining Rule' is something that I've tried to instill, both from a
personal standpoint, and in my office and locker room.
The rules are pretty simple in concept -
1) you can only complain to someone who can resolve the problem - rather than bitch and moan to
someone divorced from the problem (which is wasted energy, as well as negative energy), you must go
to someone who can help fix the problem at hand.
By Michael Lewis - NEW YORK, NY (Sep 1, 2011) US Soccer Players -- Until that night 40 years ago,
Carlos Metidieri had never been thanked by an opponent for scoring the winning goal in a soccer
game. Then again, Metidieri and his Rochester Lancers and Dallas Tornado had never played in a game
like the one they had participated in on September 1st, 1971.

O SIS acompanha também o fenómeno da violência organizada no
futebol, a qual apresenta riscos consideráveis para a ordem pública e a segurança interna.
Nos últimos anos, grupos de adeptos que encaram a violência como uma componente normal dos
desafios de futebol, têm protagonizado repetidamente agressões e confrontos graves no interior e
no exterior dos estádios assim como a vandalização sistemática de espaços públicos e
privados.
Bien dicen que cuando alguien quiere ser importante tiene que dar un buen golpe en todos los
aspectos, y esto fue lo que ha realizado Real Madrid con las contrataciones de
Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo y Benzema.
Pero ahora su objetivo se ha centrado en dos jugadores que si bien es cierto no tienen un gran
renombre que los ya mencionados, pintan para ser las próximas estrellas del fútbol
mundial, aunque para serlo deben buscar una buena vitrina, por lo que su llegada a la nave
galáctica suena inminente.
