Ive been busy with work... rubbish from me I know but I don't take too kindly to 4AM shifts, and I had a month of them. We've been developing the magazines (AmericanFootballMagazine) website and that is also taking a fair amount of my time as well actually. Good news is my British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and Lufthansa flight benefits kick in six more weeks from now.... prayin we get through Stoke so I can come for the next round... and for the dark side away in November.....

Summers ending down here for us, instead of 100* everyday its going to be a balmy 91*........

Ive been happy with the results to be honest. I think we got 2 points in United and especially Blackpool that we weren't supposed to get given it was 'pools Prem Home opener and we owe united a poor home effort at one point. Bolton should have been 3 points I reckon though. I reckon Wolves is 3 in the bag......... well at least it should be.

28th minute: Crucial tackle made by Salcido to prevent breakaway
34th minute: Salcido pushes forward and hooks inward toward goal as he takes a back-heel pass. Has good dribbling skills, but chance is bad, having 3 defenders to beat.

Mexico is playing Man-to-Man defense (as opposed to zone defense). I have seen zero offsides calls yet, so I don't know if they are much for the offsides trap. They seem to just try to shut down whoever has the ball and make sure to not leave anybody open.

let me answer your question with a question, where the **** have you been? 

I second Lork's query in a good way.

Summer has been cloudy around here, so I'll take an optimistic look at our season so far--to brighten things up. We are undefeated, as you said CCD, and I pray it stays that way. The team has taken on a decidedly USA way of doing things: waiting until the last second to scrap for a point. Something's better than nothing!

Playing for the national team against Columbia!

He hasn't seen much action yet because Columbia hasn't seen much of that third of the pitch. Chicharito is playing too, as far as I can tell. It's in Spanish, so the commentator could have just been calling somebody else "pork rind", and I could be misinterpreting...

"You need an American coach. You save some money, a lot of money, and you get someone who understands the American way. This country, and soccer in this country, is different to anywhere else.

Our players don’t suddenly get better with a foreign coach. They don’t suddenly become Superman. It is a bunch of crap to think otherwise."

he's quite good looking from the front. bit spotty though.

...Happy Birthday lamby, hope you are keeping your head above all the water..!

Thanks - fine here in Melbourne. Most of the water is in the rest of the state.

I knew that as soon as I moved back to Melbourne, the drought would break    A lot of places have had as much rain so far this year than in the last couple of years combined.

Thanks boys - very touching!

It is my first season back in Aus after a few years as a season ticket holder. The good news is that I can get EVERY Fulham game is live on Foxtel - the bad news is that the games are on in the middle of the night 

The arrival of a brand new Fulham supporter is due any day now as well (our first.)
