Wish you were in Seattle? I'll link back to a series of tweets and Twitpics from the lucky ones
at MLS Cup.

The Washington Post's Steve Goff just tweeted:

Many people have been calling for the France v Rep. Ireland game to be replayed, but I'm not too
sure if this will be possible. Sure, I think the game wasn't fair and France don't deserve to go to
the World Cup, but I'm not sure if you can simply decide to replay this match how can it be
considered to be fair, when bad refereeing decisions affect matches all the time, I don't quite
understand how this match can warrant a replay when others don't.

Gameday is upon us. I don't want to talk any trash or make any predictions. We must avoid the
jinx at all costs. It's not that I believe in that voodoo rhetoric, but why chance it? I will keep
it simple and possibly very bland.
Here are a few game related articles. One states how Los Angeles is just 90 minutes away from
the finals.

Just a quickie to let you know that I'll be at The Lane today with my trusted BlackBerry, Tweeting
away.
I won't just be giving out the highlights of the game against Sunderland, but will also throw in a
few added tweets, detailing some of the crazy traditionalist comments screamed out by the diehard
Yids that'll be all around me.

The matches to watch after you realize that, if for just this weekend, the suspension of
Chelsea's transfer ban is far less important than the match on Sunday. And that I told you so.
Saturday
Tottenham v Sunderland at White Hart Lane Jermain Defoe returns from suspension and
Aaron Lennon might appear, although this will really be Darren Bent's show as he visits his former
team.

Right then, where do I start? I was at the game and those following my
tweets
could see that bent frustration I and all those around me felt.
I thought the long walk back to the car after seeing us lose was bad enough; how mistaken I was. We
had to endure Harry telling us that he was a bit miffed with Aaron Lennon because he came off
without telling anyone.
Click to continue reading...
This will be an interesting one. Harry's been in our minds and hearts for a year now and what a
year it's been! I remember his first game in charge. We beat Bolton 2-0 and he was out on the
touchline, full of enthusiasm. It really was such a change from the lost looks Juande used to
pull.
Not much has changed to be honest.

It's three games in nine days for Chivas USA to end the season.
Sacha Kljestan tweets at 12:15 p.m. that he's putting his brother to work, BTW: Chillin on the
couch watching soccer.. my usual game day routine... gordon is cooking breakfast
I'll blog from the game tonight.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy is already making post-season plans for the third consecutive year to
wring the maximum amount of cash out out of David Beckham before he takes off to Italy.

The general mindset of most local clubs officials and players is to keep "things within four walls"
and it's not very often we see war-of-words trading across feuding parties to ensure the mood of
solidarity in the local football fraternity (because of the "Code of Conduct" I guess).
Personally, nothing wrong with that as nobody would want to see a WWE-styled reality show since the
main product is the game itself.

Our boys came back from a 1-0 deficit to tie Houston today at Robertson Stadium, but three points
were really needed to put us back into the picture for the MLS Cup Playoffs. We're six points
behind New England with three games remaining, but there are four teams between us and the Revs.
Zoltan scored a beautiful goal for his first in a KC uniform, and Lopez recorded his 8th assist of
the season on the play.

In a game that is always entertains, the Irish ensured that the pecking order established by the
recent State Coaches poll remained intact, finally wearing down their Northern neighbor with a pair
of goals in the 2nd half that made the difference.

We all know the stakes for this one. Just ten days after Seattle came to RFK and won the U.S.
Open cup in United's home, the expansion side returns to DC for a hugely important League match.
Both teams are in the midst of a fight to make the playoffs, with every point gained important.
Seattle will be without Freddie Ljungberg who is serving a suspension for yellow card
accumulation, while DC will again be without Marc Burch (ankle surgery) and Dejan
Jakovic (bi-lateral hernia repair).

Soccernet is reporting that Jozy Altidore's move to Hull has been delayed by ongoing work permit
issues. Funny Soccernet also told me things were already sorted out. They cite Jozy's Twitter
as evidence: "Bad news, guys. Still in the States trying to sort things out with my work
permit.

FOOTBALLSUP 12 August @ 08:40 AM EST
The Twitter bandwagon is in full flow - some would say slowing down, almost - and there is a
steady flow of footballers and football related Twitterers appearing in the micro-blogging sphere.
It really hit the back (and front) pages with Darren Bent's Twitter 'rant' at Daniel Levy a few
weeks back - but did you know that Hull's new striker, signed on the back of Daryl Murphy and Bobby
Zamora turning them down, was also there?
Click to continue reading...
Interesting to look at Altidore's transfer through his tweets.
It probably went into motion on Aug 2, when he says he is going on a little trip. He then
responds to one of his followers saying, "if i told u [where] it wouldn't be a surprise. lol"
...Looks like a presser for tomorrow at 2:30 (England time i suppose?

EPL Talk 04 August @ 09:31 PM EST
Jozy Altidore seems to be handling this Twitter thing a little better than Darren Bent.
While Bent tossed his toys out of the pram in 140 characters or less, the teenage American
striker calmly tweeted to his followers:
England early in the morning so im going to get some sleep ill tweet all day tomorrow on my bb
and let you guys know whats going on!

Tonight, D.C. United takes on Western Conference leaders (and overall points leader - 32 pts.),
Houston Dynamo. United currently sits in third place in the East but only two points back of the
top spot. The first meeting between the teams came back on April 4, when United defeated Houston
1-0 at RFK.

That's one way of getting the move you want!
Tottenham are investigating comments allegedly made by striker Darren Bent accusing
Spurs chairman Darren Levy of disrupting his move to Sunderland.
A foul-mouthed rant on social network site Twitter purports to have been posted by Bent, who missed
Spurs' tour to China for talks on Wearside.

With a road record of 1-3-5, United hasn't exactly been struggling on the road but three points
have been hard to come by. The sole road win came back on April 26 at New York. Tied with Columbus
for second place in the Eastern Conference, only a point behind Chicago, the Black-and-Red will be
looking for valuable three points that could put them atop the East again.

Snooze....
Has pre-season started? Why did it go so quiet? So quiet in fact, that Arsenal are even
confirming transfer speculation on their website WTF! Since when do we comment on players we are
interested in? We say nothing. When others talk, we say nothing. When others bullshit, we say
nothing.

On 26 October the IRA bombed a fast food restaurant in London's Oxford Street. This came just two
weeks after another London bombing in the Victoria area. And yet on the 31 October Arsenal played
Coventry as a full round of fixtures were played throughout the country.
Having lived through the years when the IRA tried to bomb the living crap out of my country, and
this is just a list of the London tragedies, I have always been slightly amused when I am asked
whether of not I am scared living in Jakarta.

It's pretty tough to forget the 3-0 loss the team suffered in Colorado last month at the hands
of the Rapids. United was playing its third game in eight days, at altitude and without the
services of Jaime Moreno, Luciano Emiliio and Fred.
This time around, the team will have Moreno, Emilio and Fred available for selection, but will
be without Santino Quaranta (U.

Probably something some of us have forgotten about by now. Remember over the weekend when
Houston Dynamo striker Brian Ching a tweet saying "Ref in seattle just cheated the dynamo. What
a joke. Not even close. Ref is a cheat"?
Well that will now cost him $500 from the league front office.
