-RSL keeper DJ Countess had surgery yesterday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
-I am not convinced that this story is true yet, but reports say Pavel Nedved has agreed to play for his Czech Repulic v Norway in the World Cup Qualifying playoffs coming up. I had earlier read quotes from him saying he would consider un-retiring IF they won the playoff. We shall see. They could certainly use someone that good.
-Big Euro-centric matches this weekend
Getafe v Barcelona - The surprising #4 v the underachieving #2. (Can you be #2 and underachieve? Yes!)
Milan v Udinese - The once unbeatable defense v Serie A's biggest surprise in the Champions League.
Bayern Munchen v Werder Bremen - Top of the table warfare! Always excellent. Bayern leads the Bundesliga by 2 points over Bremen.
Borussia Monchengladbach v Hamburger SV - Two early season upstarts try to step on each others throats.
-Interliga news direct from the Dallas Morning News: Pizza Hut Park will host four matches in January's InterLiga, the eight-team tournament that determines Mexico's two automatic entrants into South America's prestigious Copa Libertadores. Doubleheaders Jan. 7 and 8 will feed into the Jan. 15 finals in Los Angeles.
