-ADDITION: Here is a sight to see! Check out this video from the Metrostarts v DC United match played last Saturday night in the Meadowlands. At the 3:45 mark you will see something amazing that you will not see from any other big sport in America. DC United's fantastic midfielder Christian Gomez had to miss the game due to yellow card accumulation, so what does he do? He goes and sits with the DC United traveling supporters and bangs the drums with 'em through out the match! I love that guy even more now!
-Jonathan Spector has been added to the Team USA roster for the WCQ's.
-Juve beat Inter 2-0 in the first big Serie A match of the year. I was sad. Trezeguet and Nedved scored for the Old Lady, who are now 6-0-0 to start the season sitting in 1st place. Inter sit back in 5th place with 12 points from 4 wins, 2 losses, and 0 draws.
-A Danny Callif feature from the US National Soccer Players site.
-Phil Ball unravels the serious nature of Racing Santander v Alaves. It's a big deal! Feel the Flack
-Real Madrid beat bottom of the tank Mallorca 4-0 with the Brazilians getting all the goals: Ronaldo got the first, Roberto Carlos bagged the second and third & Julio Baptista finished the thrashing. What? No Robinho? Did they do The Cockroach dance again? No! They did the Penguin!
-The hideous Seattle Sounders won their 3rd First Division title on Saturday night over Richmond. Rich scored first with a great long distance volley, but Seattle cranked up the pressure and finally equalized. Seattle kept up the pressure, but could not finish off Richmond until pk's which Seattle won 4-3. Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
-Mexico smacked Brazil in the mouth 3-0 to win the U17 World Championship! Arriba Beer!
-Speaking of ass kickings..... Chelsea demolished Liverpool 4-1 in league play. The most boring league in the world sees Chelsea's lead already at 9 points (24 from 8 matches). Charlton and Tottenham both have 15 points, good for 2nd place, which might as well be 15th place for how far back they are. Man U, Bolton & Man City have 14 points for 4th place.
-The old guy, who is a member of AARP already, Preki, is now going to retire from a great career. I got to see him score his greatest goal, in the 1-0 win over Brazil during the Gold Cup. Good luck amigo!
-Team USA have launched their training camp today for the last two rounds of World Cup Qualifying. The matches are next Saturday in Costa Rica, and a week from Wednesday in Boston v Panama. The roster will be announced this afternoon. So no more speculating from me.
-The skies are clearing over MLS post-season races. Only 2 weeks left now (several teams will play 3 matches in that time). With the West almost completely settled, the East is your full-action center. Chicago is nearly secured, leaving KC, Metro & long-long-long shot Columbus fighting for the last spot. This past weekend scores:
Columbus 0-1 Chivas
Metro 1-4 DC
New Eng 0-2 San Jose
KC 0-1 Chicago
Colorado 2-1 Salt Lake
LA 2-1 Dallas
So with KC, Metro & 'lumbus all losing, nothing has changed in the East race. Stay tuned.

Correction #1. Reading beat Sheffield United and are still three points behind them in the Colaship. The win also gave Luton a chance to gain ground. Boo minnows!
Correction #2. Italy is the most boring league in the world. It's the one big league in Europe guaranteed to have the exact same Champions League entries as last year.
thanks for the correction on #1 incend
but i stand by my ascertations about #2 if only for a couple of hearty laughs now and then (cuz we all know its not boring, but i get tired of hearing its the most exciting - how does one go about weighing that?)
