I have been hearing rumblings that a business in Houston is going to sponsor free bus rides to the game in Dallas! Don't know how many busses they are going to provide, but this should surely add to the madness.

Don Cuddy at Soccer365 seems to think that there is more to Clint Dempsey not playing for New England than an ankle injury. Intrigue!!!!

Going into last years final I said that New England would have a tough time with all of their walking wounded. And they lost, having no spark throughout the whole game. This year they are not much healthier. Taylor Twellman still has the groin tweak. Pat Noonan has hip, and hamstring injuries. Steve Ralston has a hamstring injury. Clint Dempsey has an ankle injury. Daniel Hernandez has an ankle injury. Shalrie Joseph has a hand injury. We shall see how this affects them against a very healthy and lethal Houston team. Several New England players have made reference lately to this being their "last chance", indicating that they, like others, believe several key players are on their way out the door to bigger and better opportunities.

The article also talks about the prospects already in the Red Bulls system that will benefit from Arena's talent. I really hope to meet Arena someday and have a little chat.

Dude, you need a refresher course in punctuation.
When talking about the two "Scots," do you understand you are talking about plural form, rather than posessive form ?
"Scots" does not require an apostrophe---it is plural.
The guy spends hours putting this page together and you want to criticize his grammar. You're pathetic.
ahhhh pete
thanks for having my back
i think its preston burpos mom again
I'm just amazed that you are able to get the European teams and player names correct. "Nordsjaelland", now that's a mouthful...
