What goes up…

Ordinarily I won’t go near the topic of some type of promotion/relegation system in MLS. To be honest, I don’t think it’s needed. What will it really bring?

Believe what I say, not what I do

You ever hear someone say something, but what they do say the exact opposite?  Yeah, as a parent, I get called on that one all the time.  The actions of David Beckham sure don’t mirror what he keeps trying to convince us is true.

Remember, it’s a Team Sport

If there was ever proof needed that of any sport, soccer is the one in which a single player can’t make a huge difference.  For 90 minutes (ok, 70 and the post game) we heard Bratos and co talk about David Beckham, his impact, his career and Grant Wahl’s book.

An Open Letter to David Beckham

Mr. Spice,
I don’t know if your well paid advisers have told you this or not but, we aren’t buying your bull shit this time around.  You say one thing, yet your actions point to something very different.  Fool me once….actions not words…and several other cliches come to mind.
Here’s the thing, you sell tickets and shirts.  Any club in the world would love the money you bring in from that.  However, as we discovered last season, you are nothing without a great cast around you.  You became frustrated with the lack …

A Tail of Two Teams

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way.

Not now honey, I’m watching the game

Growing up and going to matches at Portman Road, it was always exciting to see a TV camera sitting in some basket lift above the Churchmans Stand.  That would be the indication that we’d get to see the highlights of the match on Match of the Day that night.  Of course, that was long before SkyTV brought their millions to show live matches.  Now, hardly a match takes place without a camera…and now with the broadcast choices we have, we get to see a lot of matches from the far …

So Far, So Good… So What!

(Just a quick warning, this is a long ramble with no direction…just thoughts coming out so read at your own risk.  I promise, my next post will the thought through before I start typing.)
Well, my NCAA Bracket is doing my head in.  I guess it would have helped if I had watched a few games this season.  I haven’t seen any and don’t know what’s going on except that my Alma Mater didn’t even come close to making the field–though the women are in.
In other news, MLS season starts …

Okay Spice Boy…

I’ve really done my best to keep quiet here and leave my comments to simple tweets letting the media do must of the story telling.  After all, it appears you, your ‘people’ and those in charge at AC Milan seemed to negotiate your end of the deal to stay in Italy via that medium.  However, now that you’ve finally come on US TV and told your story to us (remember us, the LA fans?) I just have to vent a bit.
