It's about time. MLS seems to be smelling the coffee now.

I like Salgado. He's good at right back. Was it 10 years he spent at R. Madrid? It was a tearful goodbye when he left. sniff.

ESPN sucks! I hate them. I'm glad they no longer have Champions League rights....that way we can actually watch all the games.
ESPN purchase some of the rights to La Liga but I don't know why they did. They don't show the games. ****, yesterday they were supposed to air a live Liga match and they opted for tennis instead.
Why the bother acquiring rights to soccer is beyond me. Leave football to FSC, GolTV, hell even ABC.

Posted Tuesday September 08, 2009, About: Beckham: Milan among several teams eyeing him

Good point, but with Madrid the coach really has no say. It's the President and the Sporting Director. So if Flo wants him back, he'll get him back. There's also rumor that Roberto Carlos may come back as well....again, rumors.

Posted Tuesday September 08, 2009, About: Beckham: Milan among several teams eyeing him

My sources tell me he might go back to Real Madrid now that Flo is in charge again.

That's awesome. he's still got the skills to triumph here.

You think so??

I'm a Real Madrid fan and when I watch him commentate those matches he has me thinking that he's one of us.

Posted Wednesday August 05, 2009, About: Drew Carey wants Barca style in Seattle

Same here.

Ray makes me stay awake even in the dullest of matches.

Posted Wednesday August 05, 2009, About: Drew Carey wants Barca style in Seattle

but that's what makes him good. all the other announcers on GolTV are duds. he makes it exciting at least and funny.

Ray Hudson is awesome! "Like a squirrel on a telephone wire" LOL!

Posted Wednesday July 22, 2009, About: Chelsea, Tottenham, Fulham eyeing Beckham

Despite the bad joo joo going on with Becks now, since his arrival, the whole World now knows what the L.A. Galaxy are.

Posted Wednesday July 22, 2009, About: Livorno interested in Donovan

Do it!

Posted Friday July 17, 2009, About: MLS crowds down on Beckham?

What's up with the short sleeves? that's the first time I've seen him play without long sleeves.

Posted Friday June 19, 2009, About: Will Torres or Adu get call vs. Egypt?

NO, change coaches now! Waiting until next summer is too long. Need to have a better showing than be the last placed team in the WC.

Posted Friday June 19, 2009, About: Will Torres or Adu get call vs. Egypt?

I say hire Gus Hiddink....look what he did with S. Korea back in the '02 World Cup.

Posted Friday June 19, 2009, About: Will Torres or Adu get call vs. Egypt?

Well if not Klinsy then definitely someone else...I'm thinking a foreign coach.

Posted Friday June 19, 2009, About: Will Torres or Adu get call vs. Egypt?

+1 Million. Bradley needs to go and Klinsmann needs to take his place.

Posted Friday June 19, 2009, About: FIFA: MLS must adopt international calendar

MLS currently plays during College and NFL. They also play during basketball and baseball. So what?! I say move to the international calendar like everyone else..

Posted Thursday June 11, 2009, About: Beckham hasn't decided Galaxy future

True, getting rid of Del Bosque and Makele was the biggest mistake ever. However, because of that mistake I think the "Floren Team" as they are calling it now will be different by getting a stronger central midfield with Kaka, perhaps Ribery, and keeping Lass and Diarra. Guti and GAgo I don't think will go anywhere and they both have their good games.

Posted Thursday June 11, 2009, About: Beckham hasn't decided Galaxy future

Um, I seem to recall under Perez' first stint at President from 2000 - 2006 The Galacticos Era v.1 RMadrid won 2 Liga Cups, 2 Supercopas de Espanya, 2 Champions Leagues, 1 Intercontinental Cup, and 1 UEFA SuperCup.

Yeah big money players don't help a club win trophies...right....

HALA MADRID!

Posted Thursday June 11, 2009, About: Beckham hasn't decided Galaxy future

Excellent post. I read somewhere that going into this transfer window Real Madrid has something in the neighborhood of $525 Million to make for transfers. Even despite the last two disastrous years under Calderon, the Club still made tons of money.

Hala Madrid!!!
