Sergio Galvan Rey Is Not The King Of News
-Michael Lewis & Big Apple Soccer is reporting that both Metros' Amado Guevara & Dallas' Eddie Johnson are being shopped around by their respective teams as trade or sale bait. Wow, but not shocking. Consider these reasons: As big a handful as Guevara can be for opposing team defenders, he is as much if not more trouble for his teammates and managers to handle; and Eddie Johnson's huge pay checks are going to keep Dallas from adding many more players to their club due to the league's salary cap.
-Ives Galarcep of the North Jersey Herald also writes about the growing Guevara-Lalas hate-fest.
-The rumor mill is churning hard when it says that Bournemouth in England's League 1 are chasing after New England's goal scoring machine Taylor Twellman. They may well be chasing, but he is way outta their price category.
-Even though he took all of Trinidad & Tobago's World Cup tickets to sell at his own travel agency, Jack Warner, CONCACAF President, and a FIFA Vice President, feels no remorse for his extreme insider actions, and does not have any interest in answering silly journalists even sillier questions. The LA Times has picked up on this story, and it sure would be cool to see a whole lot more people at big name writers do the same. This shouldn't stop with TnT either. The USA ticket distribution was a compelte fiasco as well. Some real paper or magazine outta get digging deep on this story and "out" the total incompetents that are in charge of US Soccer.
-At the Interliga finals on Sunday, Tigres beat Monterrey 2-1 to become champions, guaranteeing them a spot in Copa Libertadores group play, while Guadalajara finished second (beating Veracruz 2-1) and will meet Chilean club Colo Colo in a playoff for another spot in the Cup groups.

-USA & LA right back Chris Albright tore a knee ligament training with the USA according to this report from US Soccer: U.S. MNT defender Chris Albright will be sidelined 3-6 weeks after exploratory surgery this morning revealed a lateral meniscus tear in his left knee. The tear was repaired by U.S. National Team doctor Bert Mandelbaum in Los Angeles. The 27-year-old defender suffered the injury Jan. 5 during the team's first full day of training camp, and an initial MRI last week revealed no damage.
-In the Big Euro matches this weekend:
Roma pulled the shirt over Milan's eyes, then sucker punched 'em 1-0, to aid in their climb up the Serie A table. Milan fell even further behind Juve and Inter who both won.
Man City wiped out Man Utd 3-1 in the derby. Glory for City, doldrums for United. Cristiano Ronaldo got himself a deserved red card for his frustrated & idiotic lunge at City's Andy Cole.
The Arse destroyed pathetic Middlesbrough 7-0. It was one of the most thorough ass kickings I have seen in years.
Zidane hit for 3 as Real Madrid beat Sevilla 4-2! Good job old man!
-Sounds like a lot of class was shown during the Barcelona - Bilbao match Sunday. (I am being facetious.)
-Klaas Jan Huntelaar did not get his shot at PSV, so he moved on to light it up for Heerenveen. Now Ajax has paid a record fee for a Dutch player and hope he can turn their season around. Never heard of him? Neither had I. But I bet that doesn't last long.

Is there any talk of Mr. Benny Feilhaber being a part of the '06 US WC squad?
Oh, and hey - Fiorentina won as well and now AC Milan have fallen behind them too. And Toni got goals 17 + 18 on the season. So there...
