    The end is near....

    I've been reading/hearing a lot of Moyes hate recently, and I don't totally understand it. He's the one that has put his own money at risk, and while it is probably impossible to know how he will come out of this situation financially, I doubt he is happy about the situation. If not for Moyes...

    2008/2009 Champions League

    This restores my belief that the draw is random. A bunch of the really big clubs won't make it to the QFs, and some of the second-tier big clubs play each other and are guaranteed a spot in the next round.

    The Official US Soccer thread

    I didn't think Johnson had a good game, but he was constantly involved. That should be somewhat promising. There have been plenty of games where he has been completely MIA when playing for the US.

    My perfect NHL

    It's not the old system, but giving 3 points for a win and 1 for a tie would give teams the incentive to win and would penalize ties. Obviously each game would be worth 2 or 3 points, but that's the same that we have now. The OTL point is my biggest problem with the NHL. When I turn on a...

    Sunderland AFC

    Wow, I didn't know that ESPN actually broadcast the games in HD. I will definitely DVR ESPN's games as opposed to Setanta's from here on out. And I'm getting really sick of the English clubs winning all the time. I just want some parity. I'll be enthusiastically rooting against Liverpool...

    The Official US Soccer thread

    The offside call on Dempsey was correct. One of the replays showed that the linesman had his flag up at least by the time Dempsey pulled the ball down. The commentators frequently mentioned the noise in the stadium was loud enough to drown out a whistle. I was disappointed in the fullbacks...

    Article on Kyle Turris

    Terry Frei from ESPN has written a pretty extensive article about Turris and the timing of his jump to the NHL. http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/story?columnist=frei_terry&id=3210947 We are long overdue for a franchise player out of the draft. Hopefully, Turris won't disappoint once he...

    Looks like Fulham is getting another American

    Maybe...but I don't think Celtic (or Rangers) would have a problem beating Bristol Rovers in two attempts. I think getting exposure to the European game benefits all US players, as long as they're getting games. I think it's obvious that, assuming a starting/consistent role, playing for a team...

    The Official US Soccer thread

    Are there any other strikers in the system? Has US Soccer given up on Johann Smith and Charlie Davies? They're both like 20-21 years old IIRC--not that young considering they'll be 22-23 by the World Cup.

    The Official US Soccer thread

    I didn't get to see almost all of the game. Did the Swedes have anybody good playing? I would think their top players were still with their clubs. In the few minutes I watched, which were at the end of the game when the US was up 2-0, the commentator said something about this victory "sending...

    Looks like Fulham is getting another American

    I realize Fulham are 19th and Derby are 20th, but Derby is a lot worse than every other team. Fulham actually have some talent; they just have a knack for letting the victory/draw slip away to a loss. I hope EJ makes the move.

    The Official US Soccer thread

    I believe Keller would be the starting GK but has a long-term injury. Also, as someone said, Dempsey looks to be consistently the most dangerous player on Fulham, and he looks a lot more effective/comfortable in the forward role than he did at the beginning of the season in the wing positions.

    Do away with the shootout

    I think the shootout and the OTL are horrible for the game. I might be wrong about this, but I think the shootout and the OTL were meant to get the attention of fringe hockey fans. I'd much rather have ties. Of course, if wins were worth 3 points and ties were one point, I would imagine that...
