I love to watch soccer commercials just because we don't get them here in Canada. Everything is Hockey! Well enough of the ranting. Here's a Nike commercial titled The Scorpion Match. Why it's called that is a mystery to me.

Not to get too political (my Obama post almost got called out at a family get together this week), but does anyone remember when Ronaldo 'got sick' in the lead up to the final at France 98, and then 'miraculously' appeared at the last minute only to get utterly trounced by Aime Jacquet's superbly organized French youngsters, 3-0 in the final?

I call on Jesus, but he didn't check his phone today
Oh oh there's my summer girl, I've been wantin' her
I hear she's got a boyfriend
Thought I could leave her for a season but it just got cold
Yeah and it's a lonely hour in my cellphone tower
Broken down transmission
But I'm gonna take you to my boxcar on the beach
And I'm gonna hang the sun above your bed and soak your hair in bleach

You'll be missed, Miss California
You'll be kissed by only me
When they can't find you
You'll turn into a mystery
But your no mystery to me, Miss California

I call on Jesus but he heard I hurt his little girl
Yeah with my reckless stare, I've been so unfair
Misplacing my affections
She had a reason not to take me back into her care
Oh oh I'm just a stray dog now I can't beg or bow
Just give me some direction
But I'm gonna take you to the mansion where I hide
And I'm gonna paint a diamond on your hand, you will be my bride

You'll be missed, Miss California
You'll be kissed by only me
When they can't find you
You'll turn into a mystery
But your no mystery to me, Miss California
Miss California
I'll be around
I'll be around

You'll be missed, Miss California
You'll be kissed by only me
When they can't find you
You'll turn into a mystery, but not to me

You'll be missed, Miss California
We'll be married in the rain
When they can't find you I'm sure I'll be the one they blame
But they can't prove anything, Miss California
Miss California
I'll be around Click to continue reading...

Despite the scribblings of MLS Asst. Commissioner Ivan Gadzidis, tonight's scheduled MLS matches are a complete fiasco.

However, it'll be a great night for sports bar viewing if you can convince the local barkeep to keep two sets on soccer. I'll be at FATS in NYC on W. 33rd Street for the US-Cuba and Fire-Red Bulls matches. Click to continue reading...

Not the most stirring of games.

But both teams got a valuable point.

And Chivas USA pulled into a tie with the Galaxy in the standings with an identical 6-9-6 record.

Preki wasn't happy:

"I'm disappointed we didn't get three points. I thought we were the better team on the night.

Ah, yes... a win and a goal from Torres. What could be better? For starters, the entire first half could have been better. In fact, let's pretend that the first half didn't happen at all because some other team wearing our kits showed up and attempted to play football.

Sami Hyypia's first couple of touches made it look like Sunderland had twelve men on the field.

First there was Youri Djorkaeff, now there may be Sylvain Wiltord to take a stab in the Big Apple with the New York Red Bulls. The former Arsenal and Lyon striker is said to be the "mystery striker" for Juan Carlos Osorio's trio of the summer striker hunt. Wiltord was suspended by his current club Rennes [.

A few days ago Metrofanatic mentioned that in addition to a Panamanian prospect and USL bad ass Macoumba Kandji, Juan Carlos Osorio was also looking at a mystery striker. Could the former Arsenal man with some of the worst taste in eyewear and 92 caps for France be headed to The Swamp? Perhaps. Click to continue reading...

To all those wishing my wife well, thank you. The doctors still do not know what's going on, but they figured they could handle everything on an outpatient basis, so she's at least home now. Gallstones for sure, but the rest, still a mystery.

First, to RSL. The biggest news is taht it looks like Clint Mathis has been resigned. Click to continue reading...

A couple of things have cheesed me off today.

Firstly my new Leicester City away top has not arrived. I got home to a letter of apology from Jako, with promises I will receive it later this month.

All I can say is I had better.

Fortunately we were playing at home today so I felt justified in wearing my blue strip. Click to continue reading...

Seems Man Utd are paying for their moneymaking trip to Africa. Wayne Rooney has picked up an unnamed mystery virus that will almost certainly keep him out of Man Utd's first Premier League game. "I doubt Wayne will be fit for the start of the season," said United boss Sir Alex Ferguson. "It's a virus he picked [. Click to continue reading...

We can finally count on a bit more space in US newspapers to cover MLS and Olympic soccer now that the mystery of American football star Brett Favre's future has been solved. Instead of playing for the Green Bay Packers (or some other team), it seems he has been disguised as Americana singer Shawn Mullins. Click to continue reading...

Mike Magee started his career with the Metrostars with a ton of promise heaped onto his shoulders. Before entering the 2003 MLS Super Draft, he tried his hand in Europe with many top club teams. When the attention wasn't there, he turned his sights on MLS, and Metro saw an opportunity to snatch a diamond in the rough.
