Posted Saturday August 15, 2009, About: Nedved headed to MLS?
Buffalo,
It's one game every Saturday and then the Monday afternoon game.
Posted Tuesday June 30, 2009, About: Olympiakos wants Altidore on loan
Matt Derbyshire's loan to Olympiakos was great for him, maybe the same could work for Jozy.

However, as someone else pointed out Olympiakos recently made Derbyshire's move permanent and they also already have highly regarded Brazilian striker Diogo. However, if Diogo is sold (which is rumored) then I think he would almost be guaranteed a decent amount of playing time, as his only competition would be a couple young Greek guys...
Posted Saturday March 07, 2009, About: Valencia players go unpaid
This all goes back to the decision to build the Nou Mestalla and the inability to sell the current Mestalla (as the real estate market has completely collapsed in Spain-similar to the problem faced by Arsenal and the Highbury site).

Also, the horrendously poor and expensive signings of Ronald Koeman left the club in a huge hole...in retrospect they should have convinced Silva or Villa to make a big money move in January, however, they were so intent on qualifying for the CL next season and they figured they could make it until the summer, not sure they thought things would get this bad.

My dream scenario is that LFC is purchased by one of these Middle Eastern consortium and they move in like vultures on Valencia (targeting Villa and Ra??l Albiol).
Posted Friday January 30, 2009, About: Galaxy to swap Becks for Shevchenko?
He was sold to Milan...he is no longer under contract with Chelsea.
Posted Saturday October 11, 2008, About: Arsenal resigned to losing Fabregas
Give me a break, this is just the typical, jealous Platini/Blatter style non-sense emanating from Europe toward the Prems dominances...the EPL is the greatest football league in the world, its incredibly entertaining and provides drama every week of the season, despite the onset of a global recession, the Prems TV deal is expected to provide even greater revenue for its members and attendence to matches is still very high...

And is the Prem solely to blame for ridiculous transfer fees? Was it not Real Madrid that is willing to pay 50-75 million pounds for Cristiano Ronaldo?
Posted Monday October 06, 2008, About: Beckham's American dream turned nightmare?
Yeah, but even his visibility is begin to decrease, two years in I think the success of the Galaxy on the field should be used to evaluate his worth to the league...
Posted Monday October 06, 2008, About: Has Owen played last game for England?
I'm calling Owen to Toronto FC right now for the 2009 MLS season...with his England career ending, why stick around??
Posted Monday October 06, 2008, About: Report: Juve chasing Liverpool boss
Not going to happen, not with Liverpool playing as well they are and with Rafa finally with a team he is content with...this was a lot more likely last Dec. when he was at loggerheads with the owners, and as others said, this is a poor source of information...
Posted Sunday October 05, 2008, About: Beckham's American dream turned nightmare?
That said, Beckham has been shockingly poor in the 2nd half of this season, anyone who has watched the LA Galaxy the last few weeks (outside of the DCU game) can see that he looks tired and frustrated...and when was the last time he scored on a set piece????

Foreign imports like Schelotto and Huckerby are playing far better, for much smaller salaries, I know these guys aren't the marketing machines like Beckham, but at some point his contribution on the field must questioned.
Posted Sunday October 05, 2008, About: Beckham's American dream turned nightmare?
Coming from a paper based in Northern Ireland, to label as MLS is a terrible is pretty ignorant, I must have forgot that the Irish Football League is one of the best in the world...
Posted Tuesday April 01, 2008, About: Altidore's last Red Bulls season?
He will be gone when the summer transfer window opens, NYRB has already prepared for this with the signing of Echteverry (sp?), if he went to Heerenveen, he wouldn't be playing with Bradley, there is very little chance he will be back with the club next year, as next year he could leave on a free, they will certainly cash in on any offer that comes from Blackburn, Everton, Villa (as rumored in the British press)...
Posted Monday February 25, 2008, About: Doc: Eduardo faced amputation
Whoa, whoa, whoa, I know Rooney had an injury earlier this season and Giggs and Scholes have been hampered by niggling injuries, but Arsenal has had far more (in addition to serious injuries) to important players (RVP, Eduardo, Toure, Rosicky, etc), I'm not saying they should use it as an excuse if they fail to win the title, but to compare the injury plight I think is unfair and I'm a LFC supporter who dislikes both teams.

And don't even mention Neville, the guy is well past his sell-by date and hasn't played much for a season and a half...
Posted Friday February 22, 2008, About: Palermo star wants Roma move
Giant dbags....
Posted Friday February 22, 2008, About: Barcelona to visit Red Bulls in friendly
Its not happening, Ives update later that NYRB are playing another big euro club that isn't Barca...Real Madrid possibly? I'm sure Chaco would like that...

I just hope that LFC is still coming over this summer as was rumored in December...
Posted Monday February 18, 2008, About: Mayor wants United to pony up
Fenty has broken a series of promises about building a stadium for DCU, I wouldn't take much that he says on this issue seriously, my money would be that they end up in the Maryland suburbs (though the Anacostia site seems ideal)...
Posted Monday February 18, 2008, About: Red Bulls stoke Fire rivalry
I'm a DCU supporter, so I must interject here, NYRB have never won a meaningful game in their history, maybe this year it will be different, but until you do, I'd tone down the smack talk RB supporters...
Posted Friday February 08, 2008, About: Easier MLS schedule for Beckham
I have to disagree MLSFAN, while I think the Galaxy will improve and at least make the playoffs (mostly because the Western conference is so weak outside of the Dynamo), the title is DCU's to lose, they are stacked with Latin American talent...
Posted Friday February 08, 2008, About: Lalas rips Beckham decision
I actually despise how he has become the voice of American soccer in the English media, he continually makes us look like morons, shut your trap Lalas...
Posted Friday February 08, 2008, About: Bayern midfielder eyes MLS move
A comparison to Denilson is ridiculous, Ze Roberto played in the 2006 World Cup and still is competing at a high level consistently in one of the world's best leagues, while Denilson retired from international football in 2003 and had been playing in Saudi Arabia before he headed to the US.

If his contract runs out in 2009, that means he could join MLS in midseason 2009, a year and a half from now, ala Beckham last season, and he would be 34 or 35 and NOT 37, where are you people getting your math??????????????? Listen to what Bayern is saying...
Posted Monday February 04, 2008, About: How Lakers beat Bulls to Gasol
Paxson is a coward, it is time for him to leave...
Posted Sunday February 03, 2008, About: Wynalda dumped from telecasts
The Balboa-O'Brien booth was 100 time worse than the Wynalda-O'Brien one, Balboa and O'Brien mangled the WC Finals in '06...
