Paper Chase
Leave it to television guys misrepresent a newspaper article to the fullest. Geez, after watching Fox Soccer Channel’s pregame show for this Earthquakes-Real Salt Lake live broadcast, I thought maybe the Salt Lake Tribune story detailing RSL’s early struggles in this morning’s paper was from some pompous lead columnist picking a fight with the local […]

Life Of Riley
Tonight’s Fox Soccer Channel Saturday special pits the Earthquakes against Real Salt Lake in Utah, which may or may not feature San Jose defender James Riley in the mix. The young defender and Wake Forest product who has already seen much of the fire and rain an up-and-comer in the league can expect to see […]

East’er

Reds Alert
Any sign of change in Gareth Barry these days is considered bad news for Aston Villa fans since there is never any concrete news about his transfer situation with Liverpool. Surely enough in today’s game, Barry is wearing No. 21 for England instead of his 8, which apparently has been reclaimed by Frank Lampard upon return […]

That’s Business
So the (real) starting lineups are set and Capello’s is decidedly workmanlike. In other words, those predictions I made yesterday have been put to shame. It’s a sign of respect for the United States national team and moreso a signal England’s boss isn’t anywhere near ready to incorporate a youth movements. Anyway, clasp arms together now as I […]

Champions League Goes On Record
If the ratings from the UEFA Champions League Final are any indication, soccer is on the rise in the United States.
According to TVGuide.com, last Wednesday’s thrilling final between Manchester United and Chelsea drew 1.1 million viewers on ESPN2, smashing the previous record of the 770,000 viewers that watched the 2006 final.

Starting Here
I was purposely vague when asked to predict England’s starting lineup on this morning’s show. Like game predictions, lineup prognostications often do nothing to shed perspective on the subject at hand and can be a waste of everyone’s precious time. Face it, as crucial as this match is for the United States in its quest, it’s a completely […]

Up Goes Frazier
Maybe you’d beg to differ, but the player who probably looked the most impressive overall in today’s Prem promotion final was Frazier Campbell. His play of the day, obviously, was the volley he served up for fellow forward Dean Windass to secure the game’s lone score. Frazier was also Hull’s only true offensive presence. Not […]
