Ask an average American what the British are famous for and the common answers are bad teeth, bad food and hooligans. I've heard these stereotypes so many times in the 25 years since I moved to the States from Wales in 1984 that the jokes aren't funny anymore. Well, at least not that funny. Rather than [.

I used to know a thing or two about women. But then I got married and am now coming to the scary, scary, scary realization that I may not know as much as I once thought I did.

But I do know this. Women DO NOT have this fantasy. They also do not have the one below...unless they have a thing for men whose hair is so bleached that the sun won't look into it for fear of blindness. Click to continue reading...

Oh boy.

Did you see last night's Revolution-Joe Public CONCACAF Champions League match? (Please say you didn't).

All you need to know, from a writer's perspective, is that there were more wisecracks than keystrokes in the pressbox by the half. In other words, the match was already a joke through 45 minutes. Click to continue reading...

Anyone who has ever seen Ben Affleck and J-Lo's classically pitiful cinematic plutonium bomb, Gigli, knows that its one of the worst movies ever painfully recorded on film. It's so bad, it makes Affleck's horrible holiday follow up, Surviving Christmas, look like It's a Wonderful Life. Gigli is the punch line for many, many jokes. Click to continue reading...

The Los Angeles Galaxy needs money. No, not actual cash (they have sold enough David Beckham jerseys not to need actual cash). What LA needs is allocation money and salary cap space (despite what the Bottomless Galaxy Salary Cap jokes suggest).

With the success of Twenty20 cricket in raising the profile and popularity of the most benign of sports, radical FA plans to create a rival Twenty20 have been leaked to reputable papers (like The Sun). Cricket boffins realised that to get anyone interested who wasn't an MP, a Lord or Nasser Hussain, they had to [. Click to continue reading...

There really isn't anything to write about today. Seriously there is almost no news. I should have saved my report on Toure's malaria until today just so I had something to write. I guess there is a little bit of good news, in that Eduardo will be back to watch the Emirates Cup. He's still rehabbing in Brazil but he is on schedule for his recovery and everything appears to be going well. Click to continue reading...

Aufweidersen, Adieu. Adios. Since I've been out golfing today, I hadn't read about Abel Xavier's farewell tour of spite on Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit in particular and the Galaxy in general.

Gaillard pulled off a famous 2002 stunt by disguising himself as a Lorient player and joining in the celebrations when they won the French Cup final. Above, he's indulging himself with a few football related skills/pranks [. Click to continue reading...
