Well, look, I'm not saying that should be the only focus of their marketing efforts (after all, I did mention it last), but there's no sense in ignoring it completely.

Yeah, I understand. Wasn't really directing that at you. Still, I'd feel rather comfortable ignoring it completely.

The Cosmos have new owners. There are rumors that it is indeed Blazer's group that have taken over the franchise. Would not be surprised to hear some news from them in the next few months regarding a location for a stadium.

You hate to engage in ethnic stereotyping, but... some Polish fans at the Fulham vs. Wisla Krakow match are setting off flares in the 100-year-old, almost entirely-wooden Johnny Haynes Stand at Craven Cottage. The BBC audio commentary seems to indicate that it's tremendously smoky in the stadium right now. How stupid do you have to be to be setting off flares when you're surrounded by 100-year-old wood?

Idiotic NY challenge gives LA penalty to put the Galaxy up 3-1 in the tie. Think this one's over.

Question for the soccer officials here:

Does this match count, or is it replayed? There is no way it was decided fairly...

From Sports Illustrated
3 - Players in a lower-division Czech soccer match last week who were sent off with red cards before police, notified that the referee was repeatedly falling over, administered a Breathalyzer test that revealed his BAC as .194

Replay the match, right?

That would be my guess. The Czech FA or whoever is the admin for the league would decide whether to replay or not.

Most likely, the FA would strike down the red cards, then replay the match as the referee had brought the game into disrepute.

More likely just not consider the match official and have it rescheduled. Basically, nothing ever happened, as you can't strike down ejections and such if they called it an official game.

If red cards are given in a match that is abandoned, they still need to be removed from that player's record. The Red Cards still happened however, the game was in disrepute so no appeal will have to be done. The FA would just remove them from the record.

Prediction time!

Newcastle - Everton. Everton need points in a bad way. Newcastle has proven that it is no fluke that they're in 3rd. Newcastle wins 2-1

Manchester Utd - Sunderland. United can't lost 2 league home matches in a row can they? Not to Sunderland! United wins easily 3-0

Arsenal - West Brom. West Brom have been all over the place this season...as have Arsenal who are riding a high after beating Chelsea Arsenal wins 3-2

Aston Villa - Norwich. Villa doesn't run away with a match...Norwich is a touch nut to crack...especially in the end. 1-1 Draw

Blackburn - Chelsea. Blackburn have been luckless, Chelsea are defenseless. Chelsea still nicks it though. Chelsea Wins 2-1

QPR - Manchester City. QPR are tough at home, but don't score enough. City average 4 away from home. City wins 3-0

Liverpool - Swansea. Swansea have played out of their skin, Liverpool are improving but inconsistent. They'll have enough to beat a tough Swans' side. Liverpool Wins 2-0

Wolverhampton - Wigan. Relegation 6 pointer. Neither team can buy a win. Neither team will in this one either. 2-2 Draw

Fulham - Tottenham. Fulham have finally hit a bit of a good stretch however, Tottenham have been red hot. Spuds win this one 3-1

Bolton - Stoke City. Bolton have been just bad all season. Stoke are an angry team after Monday's debacle. Stoke wins 3-0

Pompey welcomed back former manager Steve Cotterill with a 3-0 win over his new team, Nott Forest. Solid result.

So Houston wins in KC 2-0 to go to MLS Cup.

And your MLS qualifiers for the CONCACAF CL: LA, Seattle, RSL, Houston.
 
Re: World Soccer XXI: Don't Tread on the Red, White, and Blue

I ****ing hate Brad Friedel.

I've never seen a team as dominant as Fulham were for that entire second half against Spurs without getting anything out of the match.
 
Re: World Soccer XXI: Don't Tread on the Red, White, and Blue

MLS cup means Donovan is pulled from the next 2 US friendlies. Great, now we have zero chance of winning those game!

Its a FRIENDLY. I really don't mind him not playing. I am of the belief that Friendlies do nothing but get players hurt. They're as useful as preseason NFL games.

So if the friendly was against Mexico would you feel the same way about it just being a friendly? ;)

If you have to play them, you might as well win them.
