Wednesday 3rd of November

Tuesday was a big day in the Champions League, there were some draws, some victories, some defeats, and a few upsets. 8 more games on the schedule today with the biggest being AC Milan vs. Real Madrid at the San Siro.

Some news out of the Sounders camp today is not all good, Montero gets his Green Card and Zakuani has applied. Jeff Parke won't practice until Friday, his ankle doesn't look good. In football you can hit, push, and tackle, in Hockey you can hit and fight and they have players who excel at Penalty Minutes. In Soccer you have Hacks like Dema Kovalenko and although I don't like the approach it has been a tactic used since soccer was invented!



Tottenham vs. Inter Milan highlights (UCL) 3-1


Inter Milan won the champions league last year and did it with relative ease, in Inter's last two games one player has tore Inter apart with relative ease. Gareth Bale had a hattrick in Tottenhams loss in Milan and last night had a hattrick of assists in Tottenham's Victory!!!

The US Women's National team is one win away from making the World Cup in 2011, they play Mexico in the Semifinals of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament.

Valencia vs. Rangers highlights (UCL) 3-0


Back when I was growing up and playing soccer a Mullet was a necessity, tight shorts another must and no shin guards.Recently we found out Back in Sir Alex's day "In my day, you had to hit someone with a hatchet before a referee booked you. It's a different game now."

Viva Futbol tears it up again!!!


The MLS passed out some of it's yearly awards today, Donovan Ricketts won "Goalkeeper of the Year", Everybodys favorite Sebastian Le Toux won "Fair play award", and San Jose won "Team Fair Play Award", and the final award today goes to the just deserved 17 year old phenom Andy Najar "MLS Rookie of the Year"!

Benefica vs. Lyon highlights (UCL) 4-3

Hapoel Tel Aviv vs. Schalke 04 highlights (UCL) 0-0


This weekend is Halloween in England or as they call it "Bonfire Night" it is special because it is like a big "Burning Man" except that each city burns a scare crow like figure made to look like the cities rival! This years scapegoat is an English hero?


We know how this goes, your team is down 1-0 it's the last minute of stoppage time and your team has a corner kick. Bring the 5 foot 10 keeper up for the corner, and BAM he rises highest to hit a bullet header for the draw!!


FIFA came up with a new award last year, "The Puskas Award" it's named after the Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskas who was an amazing goal scorer in his own right, he scored 84 goals in 85 international appearances and 514 goals in 529 professional games, a truely amazing strike rate. My favorite "Goal of the Year" is in the Running!!
