Most of the sweet weekend games haven't started yet, so why not kill time with some tube?We begin with another promo clip from Wayne Rooney's Street Striker challenge show.

Up until the past week, ESPN has been the golden child of Premier League coverage in the United States. We've been spoiled by pictures in HD, match coverage that begins when the players enter the tunnel, Monday evenings that bring us the UK feed of ESPN's coverage, and Saturday mornings with Georgie Bingham and company.

OK, so the definition of 'tomorrow' was a bit flexible to say the least, but Saturday is here so let's have a quick look at the games that feature England internationals. Not surprisingly, the first game of the day is the one with the most England squad members on show: Aston Villa v Chelsea (Sky Sports 1 now) could feature seven players including Emile Heskey, who seems to want to leave Villa in order to improve his chances of making the squad next year; an odd time to start making these comments seeing as though the transfer window doesn't re-open for a while yet.

Short week for me as I'll be in Ft Worth TX celebrating the marriage of Timothy Erick Watson (Glendale Falcons 2003) to Brittany Wang on Saturday. Family obligations mean I'm out-of-town Wed-Sun.

Mike Cockerill writes today that a Coaching School is on the way in Australia..but what about a football school, not an all-sports school, a football school for kids, boys and girls from Primary to Year 12.

Key center back Filiep van den Broucke was held up and we'd conceded two by the time he arrived at 2-1. We were stuck playing catch-up 2-2 then 3-2 down, then 3-3 then 4-3 and then (finally) 4-4.

TORONTO - Player-Owner Romerinho's return to the 2009 Pistolas FC roster is in doubt, after examining the '09 calendar and realizing he may miss between 6-9 weeks of the 16 week regular season due to International Duty.

Los Angeles is in turmoil. After a devastating last-second loss to last-place San Jose, the wheels are coming off.
What to do? Someone has to be made an example of...
So many stars. So much attention. Yet only a 6-8-5 record, a 6-game winless streak and a pedestrian fourth-place in the Western Conference to show for it. Click to continue reading...
