Some News for Thu Oct 14, 2010
STARTERS
The Caribbean Championship tournament is going on right now, and last night Dominican Republic defeated the British Virgin Islands 17-0! yes, 17-0! And these are the teams that CONCACAF wants to give more World Cup qualifying games too. What a joke.
MLS ROOKIE OF THE YEAR CANDIDATES
One website makes the case for the top 3 choices:
-Danny Mwanga - Philadelphia - forward - the #1 SuperDraft pick is a big strong fluid attacker on an expansion team with very few options up top. He has started 15 games, appeared in 7 others, and scored 7 goals, some of which were jaw droppers.
dN
-Andy Najar - DC United - right midfield - the 17 year old is the only bright spot in a completely forgettable season. Seems to have the future all laid out in front of him. His quickness and vision make it seem like he has been a successful pro for years. Has started 20 games, appearing in 4 others, and scored 5 goals.
dN
-Tim Ream - New York - centerback - the oldest of the 3 by far at 23, he is the only new element to the previous seasons terrible defense (2009 gave up 47 goals - 2010 gave up 27 goals with 2 games left to play). The team defense is much better mainly due to his cool calm footwork. He has started every game this season, but collected only 2 yellow cards.

The Liverpool FC saga continues, and will continue for quite some time. That is the only part of the story that I am convinced about.
dN
I have said it before and I will say it again - If you think two businessmen will walk away with a $140 Million loss on this deal, then you are delusional. They will fight till the end.
dN
Today we learned that American courts had been brought into the fight, and stopped the sale.
But later in the day an English court told the Texas court to shove it.
Lets get ready to rumble, some more.

The Liverpool Echo has the most complete coverage.
