Happy Veterans day to all you Vets, I spent my time on the DMZ in Korea, the Sand berms in Saudi, but then I was rewarded with the Beaches of Italy for my last tour!!
Lots of big games yesterday and a few that disappointed (Mainly the Manchester Derby). The EPL, Serie A, Copa del Rey, Dutch Cup, and a few others. This weekend also brings back a Northwest staple, Professional indoor soccer. The game has been played in the Seattle/Tacoma area since the 70's and Saturday night the new PASL Pro teams Tacoma Stars will play their Rivals the Kitsap Pumas which is sure to be a heated match!!
I am going to start the Video's off with probably the best own goal I have ever seen, it comes to us from the 3rd division in Ireland. Poor Defender!!
Some of the players were wrote off, some were injured, some toiled away in the lower leagues of US Soccer. Frank Yallop has been able to bring them together and create a winner.
Alzarboy is back with "Viva Futbol Volume 63"
The Gooch has had a rough 18 months with some highs and lows, first he signs with AC Milan, then ruptures his patella tendon, he plays in the World Cup (Although most will tell you it wasn't the same Gooch), he is almost back to 100% but hasn't been able to get a game for Milan this season. Now rumor has it he may move back to Liege?
AC Milan vs. Palermo highlights (Serie A) 3-1
They announced the "MLS Coach of the Year" and it's not who you might have guessed? Schellas Hyndman has turned FC Dallas into a very structured, strong team and with a goal scorer like Cunningham you never know, congrats Coach!
Roma vs. Fiorentina highlights (Serie A) 3-2
Seattle Sounder Sanna Nyassi has had Malaria twice and his brother has helped him fight through it, now Sanna's twin brother Sainey has Malaria and it's Sanna's turn to help out.
Inter Milan vs. Lecce highlights (Serie A) 1-1
It's good to see Americans getting time in Europe, and for one Chicago native Eric Lichaj it has been a stead progression with his EPL debut on Wednesday for Aston Villa! Other news has Spector leaving West Ham in January.
Napoli vs. Cagliari highlights (Serie A) 1-0
The US Men's National team plays South Africa November 17th in South Africa, because of the distance and timing the USA is calling up some young new talent. Don't expect a win from the USA but do look at some of the players closely for that diamond!
Juventus vs. Brescia highlights (Serie A) 1-1
One thing that happens in pro sports is at the end of the season before teams split up for 2 to 3 months they have exit interviews and the coach gives the players idea's on how to improve and where they stand with the team. Philly being a new team will change alot, I am interested in what Seattle is saying to it's players?
Genoa vs. Bologna highlights (Serie A) 1-0
They do it in the NFL, they do it in the NBA, position specific coaches/coaching. Now the Vancouver Whitecaps are bringing in two legends to see if that will help them create a better player?
Cesena vs. Lazio highlights (Serie A) 1-0
Plenty of Americans got some mid week action in Europe (and not the type your thinking) with one in particular netting a nice goal for his Yellow Submarines!! Other news has players moving to new clubs and one unfortunate midfielder injuring his knee.
AZ Alkmaar vs. PSV Eindhoven highlights (Dutch Cup) 3-0
From the sunny confines of Los Angeles it's the "Stroke my Ego" article of the week, Golden Balls has had alot of praise heaped onto him since the two assists in the Sounders game but this is like performing fellatio on your buddy, Just Sick!! And he thinks he can play until he is 40?
CSKA Moscow vs. Zenit St. Petersburg (Russian Premier League) 3-1 (Zenit needs 1 pt to win the league and they let me down this game)
Strange happenings in Italy, Antonio Cassano is going to rescind his contract from Sampadoria after the club has made an insubordination allegations against him for not attending an awards dinner with the teams president? It's now up to the Lega Calcio to decide who is right!
We have all seen versions of the Paneka or the PK shot, the original was first done in 1976 to win the European Championship and yesterday in the Copa del Rey the "Paneka" didn't work for one unlucky player. First Vid is the Original, Second Vid is the miss.
Yesterday it was front page news on "Il Gazzetto del Sport" today we can tell you that Ronaldihno has been offered $7 Million a year to play for the LA Galaxy, will we see Beckham, Ronaldihno, and Donovan in white next year?
The Sounders season is over but here is a look back at all the goals from 2010
Another great signing for the MLS if it happens would be "Dos Santos" this kid is a World Cup Veteran and one of the Finalist for "FIFA young player of the Year" it would cost Houston some cash but could be worth it in the long run!!
Chelsea vs. Fulham highlights (EPL) 1-0
Joey Barton is being Joey Barton again, a very talented player with a very bad anger problem that he shares with everyone in plain view!!
Arsenal vs. Wolves highlights (EPL) 2-0
There have been some memorable Milan Derby's over the years and this Sunday they will line up across from each other is Black/Blue and Black/Red and give it another game for the fans of Milan. Here is the "Top 5 Milan Derbys from Years Past"
Liverpool vs. Wigan highlights (EPL) 1-1
Will this be his swan song in America or will he return next year? Whatever Donovan decides he has undoubtedly proven he is the best American player to play in the MLS by far. Can he go to Europe and have the same impact? that is the question everyone asks!
Man U vs. Man City highlights (EPL) 0-0
It's hard to go from the Nations Idol to the Nations Laughing stock, but that is what Paul Gascoigne has done. Just another reason to stay away from the drugs and alcohol kids!! He will be given yet another chance to redeem himself from none other than his favorite "Ball Squeezer"
