His son's about as ambitious (and by all accounts as smart) as a stop sign. For the way Kim Jong has treated everyone around him, as soon as he's gone, there's going to be a lot of people coming out of the woodwork to seize political power and not help his son out.

You do have to figure that there's a reason why they've never really had him out much in public.
 
Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season

G*d dammit! Emile Heskey screwed me over on trivia today. :mad:

I second guessed my Michael Owen choice for who took the penalty in the box in the England/Argentina match in 02.
 
Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season

18-man roster for the upcoming friendly in South Africa

The roster features six uncapped players including Gale Agbossoumonde (Estoril Praia), Juan Agudelo (Red Bull NY), Teal Bunbury (Kansas City Wizards), Dominic Cervi (Celtic), Mikkel Diskerud (Stabaek), and Tim Ream (Red Bull NY), and only a few players with more than ten caps (Bornstein, Findley, Goodson, Guzan, Rogers, Spector). It will be interesting to see what this group can do!

The answer was Owen. It wasn't about who took the shot. It was about who was fouled.

Oh yeah, he was fouled almost outside the box...and it was a soft call. Owen didn't dive but I think the team was delightfully surprised to get the penalty. :)

I remember after the game the English supporters sung Don't Cry For Me Argentina. Let me just say, you think Madonna can sing it...but the cover by those drunken Englishman is my favorite version of the song.

Bunbury's callup means he has chosen the US over Canada. His father was a Canadian national teamer, and Bunbury was born in Canada. His mother is American and he played at Shattucks and Akron. His rationale? "I want to play in a World Cup someday."
 
Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season

Well, it does for now at least. Since this is just a friendly, Bunbury isn't "locked in" just yet. He can still choose to play for Canada if the US doesn't have room for him.

Similarly, Diskerud has chosen the US over Norway; his mother is American, father is Norwegian, and from what I can tell seems to have lived most of all of his life (and played his entire professional career) in Norway. He's played for both countries' youth teams, but seems to have settled on the US at senior level, perhaps for the same reason as Bunbury.

Either way, getting caps on them now will help us out later down the road. At worse, we won't have to worry about them being on the other team.
 
Re: World Soccer XVIII: A New Season

I think Mix has been with the U.S. for a while now, and is provisionally cap-tied via official youth team matches.

Bunbury is interesting. He's played U-something for Canada, but I haven't heard definitely whether they were friendlies or official matches. If they were official matches, a call-up to the U.S. means he's with us for keeps. Otherwise, he's still an international free agent.

Checking out the EPL highlight show and I have to say that Wolves aren't a bad side. They give City, United and Arsenal a hard time. I think top half of the table is not out of the question for them.

Unfortunately for Wolves its about results, not effort. So they are going to stay in the bottom half.
