I sent out requests via Twitter for people to send me the Hashtags they use to Tweet about Soccer in the US.

“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.

Hashtags for Soccer fans in the …

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 …

(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 …

….without mentioning you know who–wow, sounds like something out of a Harry Potter.  Seriously, there’s more to MLS that some crybaby Brit.

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.

What’s with this Beckham guy …

If you haven’t been following the tug-of-war between Milan and LA for the Spiced One, then you probably won’t be reading this.  If you have been following it, like me, you are probably sick of the whole thing.  Ok, that’s an assumption but I’m pretty confident it’s accurate.
This whole thing is silly.  Milan and Beckham have been trying to bully LA into selling him for next to nothing.  LA, and rightly so, have called out Milan (though not Spice Guy) for their BS and labeled the offer of US$3million ridiculous.  …

Boy, talk about sore losers. For the record, I’ve always been a Sigi Schmid fan. Even when fans in LA wanted him gone because the style he brought to the HDC was ‘boring’, I’d remind those complaints that he does win….silverware. Yet, for whatever reason—reasons we’ll probably never really know—Sigi was let go while LA were at the top and replaced by the worst MLS coach to be able to say he coached a team to the title.

What a busy time.  In case you are the 2 visitors I get to this blog that aren’t my mom, I just moved again.  Ok, it was only cross town but with everything that’s taken place the last few weeks, it may as well have been a much longer move.  Anyway, between that, school and work (can’t forget to pay the bills) I’ve just not had the time to really post lately.  So, I’m gonna share a few thoughts though I’ll probably forget half of what I wanted to say.

LA …

After Wednesday’s Pan Pacific matches in Hawaii, every report and commentary, weather traditional media or blogger, wrote off LA and were ready to give Houston the title.  I can’t wait to see what they are writing today.
You can’t judge a team my only one match.  Comparing the over all results, LA were the second best team on the islands…they only lost by one goal to Osaka while Houston were stuffed 6-1!!!  Of course, there’s a long way to go this season.  Who knows what the heck is gonna happen.
Bottom line …
