Let's begin today's stroll about the intarwebs in the land of the vikings... I'm sure everybody has read all the Brit-hype and seen all the mobile phone videos of Brad Guzan walking on water, and that's all well and good--he's the #2 behind Timmy... Click to continue reading...

Newcastle United's opponents the 'morra, the 'Vikings', or 'Rovers' as Doncaster are better known, have had a fairly similar history to Scunthorpe, their closest neighbour. They have yo-yoed through the lower divisions before dropping out of the football league altogether for a time about 10 years ago. Click to continue reading...

Congratulations to Kickapoo for not only pulling off the 19th annual Shootout, put doing it extremely well when it would have been very easy to cancel the event in the face of the major storms and flooding that occurred in the area. The mix of local and visiting teams was well balanced, bringing large crowds and good games.

I would like all the parents to read this article on Oregonlive.com and share it with their players. It's about work ethic. It's about playing like you practice and the importance of being the player you hope to be day in and day out. It's about setting an example. How many of our players set an example every day?

I'm working from my "basement office" today because our floors are being buffed and poly-urethaned. An adventure. Ruby is with me, under house arrest, as she has already helped herself to part of one of the guys' lunches (a feat she accomplished while Willie and I were walking down the driveway to get the paper).

Today is the first day for Fall Sports to begin their preseason practice efforts. I didn't make it out for the early morning runs and physical tests some schools use to begin their season. Now that the rain has finally arrived, I probably won't make it out to the evening practices either, assuming they can be held.

The FFA are talking second division but before all the old Soccero journo's and NSL clubs get too excited, just take a cold shower.
The FFA are a smart organisation and cannot and will not allow their hard work and brand to be damaged. They have repackaged the game to avoid ethnic flags, shirt colours, etc etc. Click to continue reading...
