Torres Double Overshadowed by Mike Riley

2008-09-28T08:14:00+00:00

Fernando Torres two goals in three minutes is the difference as Liverpool take the short trip to Goodison Park and come out 2-0 victors that was marred by the horrific refereeing of Mike Riley. I am going to say it like I see it here, Mike Riley has officially ended the FA's respect campaign over the last two weeks.

Primetime MLS action

2008-09-26T14:34:00+00:00

I'll admit I'm a non-informed blogger on this post.

I was too busy watching the awesome USC v. Oregon State game last tonight to check out the Galaxy v. Fire.

But L.A. gave up a bunch of goals and lost, I could've told you that long before kickoff.

Chicago/Galaxy running blog

2008-09-26T01:02:00+00:00

Last year, Chicago destroyed LA's playoff hopes in the final game of the year. This year, they could pretty much kill the Galaxy off - a little earlier this time around.

LD talks about doing "internal work". Sounds like colonics or something. LD gives a nod to Hispanic Heritage month, saying those were his soccer teammates when he was growing up.

Bradley in losing 'Gladbach debut

2008-09-20T21:31:00+00:00

U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley had a solid 'Gladbach bow today, even if his team came up on the losing end to Hertha Berlin. Said Mikey of the debut: "We lost 1-0 today, that happens in football. I wasn't particularly nervous on my debut today, the other players helped me. The fact that I was picked to start only shortly before kickoff was no big deal.

Rafa messin' with Liverpool's anthem

2008-09-19T22:07:00+00:00

The coach wants it to be sung closer to kickoff and not as the players walk out.

"We thought it would keep the atmosphere right up until the kick-off and that way the opposition is on the pitch when all the noise is in the ground."

He might have a good point, since there's a league anthem that has to be played before the match and it often cuts into the Reds' fans rendition.

Tony's Take: One game at a time

2008-09-16T14:46:49+00:00

This is a big game tonight. I hope to see all of you at the stadium, it seems like the team could use some positive energy from the best fans in MLS. Here's something to chew on until kickoff.

Coaches get a lot of criticism when they use what journalists have termed "Coach Speak.

Quick Thoughts

2008-09-15T14:52:20+00:00

- Only in MLS will you see a player on a team walking around the concourse 10 minutes before a kickoff. I saw Pat Carroll in a "fancy" t shirt and jeans. I wonder how many people noticed him. - Santino and Gonzalo don't like each other, and are both demonstrative. I counted [...]
