First of all, Happy Halloween. From what my wife tells me, I’m taking the kids trick-or-treating as a nun, so, yeah, I kinda have to get drunk. Dang it.
Oh, and I think I’ve got to get over shoving every subject under discussion into the title; that’s what tags are for, right? This [...]

With the soccer blogging world struggling for content today, I figure an early edition is in order.
- Few things bring the fun like a he-said/he-said, something happening over the little to-do over Red Bull’s coach Bruce Arena’s seemingly alleged call-out of Juan Pablo Angel after Saturday’s draw with New England. Soccer Source, an attendee at [...]

Seriously, what else is there to talk about? The ever-shady FIFA’s decision to end the rotation system – or, as they call it in Geneva, après Brasil, Le Free-for-All? How ‘bout the Portland Timbers beating up on Toronto FC on Sunday night? Nah…it’s gotta be the playoffs.
- A good number of people seem [...]

The underdogs ruled the first leg of Major League Soccer’s playoffs. Not powerfully or even always well, but every lower-seeded team picked up a result at the very least. One big-picture similarity between the four games obviates any real need to write game-by-game analyses: nearly every contest turned on the inability of the Top Dogs [...]

88′ – Adam Cristman in for Pat Noonan, first Revs sub; Mathis also came in for Claudio Reynawho had a decent day; three minutes of added time
82′ – [...]

Thought I’d try something new for the Friday edition. Watch for sprawl…I have no self-control.
- Stadium news trickled out today for both Houston and San Jose; for what it’s worth, I think Houston got the better news…and that wasn’t all that swell. While a Houston stadium deal seems closer than ever, with an [...]

(* Anyone know where I can find a good Chicago Fire blog? I mean apart from Luis Arroyave’s. I haven’t seen The Fire Offside in forever. I only ask that it runs through Bloglines all right.)
I was going to roll this into the Daily Sweeper thing I like doing, but I wanted to delay posting [...]

I’m tied for first for what will probably be the one and only time. You think I’m not going to post the score? Are you kidding?
Before getting to that, however, I have to announce a change to the prize package. The Man, being uptight, doesn’t allow citizens to ship alcoholic beverages across state lines; so [...]
