Some News for Thu Aug 20, 2009
STARTERS
When I was flying home from Mexico City last Saturday we stopped off in Houston, and had to go through customs there. As we approached the main terminal there was a huge "Welcome To Houston Texas" sign. It featured images of the city skyline and natural beauty. It also featured aspects of the area's culture. But what surprised me was the image of a pro sports athlete representing the city. Was it a member of the Houston Astros baseball team? No. Was it a member of the Houston Rockets basketball team? Nope. How about the Houston Texans football team? No again. It was none other than Brian Mullan of the Houston Dynamo soccer team decked out in the customary orange shirt. Very cool indeed.

The Houston Dynamo announce the signing of Mexican forward Luis Landin on loan from Cruz Azul. The deal was big enough that they needed to use their Designated Player spot of their roster for him. They have to wait for his work visa before he can play. He will also NOT be available to them for the Champions League because he has already played for Cruz Azul in this years tourney. I would guess that Houston pursued him because forwards Dominic Oduro, Cam Weaver and Ade Akenbiyi have not been enough help at forward for Kei Kamara and Brian Ching this season.

US SOCCER NEWS
US Soccer has shortened the list of potential World Cup stadiums to 32 in 27 [CORRECTED] cities across the country. My city of Minneapolis has been dropped from the latest list, but I knew that was coming eventually because our 2 stadiums, one of which is too small and the other is a crappy old dome that will just be older and crappier 9 or 13 years from now. I also bet that there will be new state of the art stadiums available by then that are not even in the plannings stages yet.

to think Burnley was on a tour of sub-mls opposition in the US, now their beating Man U...
Brucio !
If you were enjoying yourself in that paradise on earth called Mexico, why would you want to return to such a second-rate country like the USA ?!
Everyone loves Mexico---that's why no Mexicans ever leave their homeland to go live in other countries !
The economy is wonderful, access to education and medicine are fantastic, and the country has a worldwide reputation for fighting the great evils of recent times. Everyone knows the Mexican armed forces did an awesome job of helping defeat the Nazis in Europe and Imperial Japan in the Pacific. And they did a fantastic job of helping bring down the Evil Empire of the Soviet Union, which murdered tens of millions of its own people throughout the 20th century, not to mention tens of millions of other people including Jews, Ukrainians, Poles, Afghanis....the list goes on and on.
Plus, Mexico sends enormous sums of monies around the world to nations that are developing, trying to develop, or just pretending to develop while their corrupt leaders take it all for themselves.
And think of all the life-saving pharmaceuticals and medical technologies which have emanated from Mexico---I don't understand why you would want to live here in the States when you could live there in Mexico.
You must really love living in the USA.
This year was my breaking point as a Revs supporter. For the past 4-5 yrs we've been hearing the BS out of the Krafts mouth (while us here in CT have heard it 10-12yrs ago). Next year i'll be supporting a team 4hrs south.
After screwing over CT and forcing MA into building a stadium, and now rapei_g the land all around the stadium, it was just too much.
I can't give my money to those people anymore.

There are only 27 cities left for consideration...I assume it was just a typo.
thanks frank
that is a typo on my part
proof reading my own posts might fix some of that
hahahahaha
as for the anonymous poster
i have no idea what you are going on about
but its pretty funny to read
and i will leave it up for everyone to laugh at you too
thanks all
i had a great vacation, but its ever better to be back at du nord
bruce
Brucio !
Are you DENYING that Mexico's armed forces played a key role in defeating the Nazis and Imperial Japan during WW2 ?
And that Mexico played a key role in the crumbling of the Soviet Empire ?
How can you deny the truth ?
Are you denying that Mexico gives away zillions of dollars in aid to developing countries ?
Are you denying the fantastic medical technologies and pharmaceuticals which have emanated from capital investment and scientific laboratories in Mexico ?
How can you deny the truth ?
Mexico is a paradise on earth.
It is the greatest nation on the planet---and you think that premise is LAUGHABLE ?
Give it up dumbass! No one takes anonymous posters seriously! Yer just a blowhard! And yes, YOU are totally laughable!
