Some News for Mon Nov 15, 2010

MUST MUST MUST MUST SEE VIDEO

This is waaaaaay beyond priceless!


















Here we have a video clip of a young & spry pre-Dallas head coach Schellas Hyndman proselytizing for something called Combat Ki Master, a form of martial arts, where you can train your mind to seemingly withstand any physical attack. And in this clip we see Schellas put his mind to rejecting all pain that one might derive from taking repeated kicks to the groin! I shit you not. A-Maze-Ing!
-A huge thanks to Grant Wahl for spreading this baby around on Twitter earlier today!

STARTERS

Wooooooo-Hooooooo Colorado Rapids v FC Dallas in the MLS Cup Final next Sunday night at BMO Field in Toronto. Will you be there? I will!

dN

MLS PLAYOFFS

Colorado will wear their Burgundy kits in the final, while Dallas will wear their Blue & White.

One of these team's is going to win their first MLS Cup.

I dare someone to claim they had these two as the finalists.

Colorado got a wild freakish goal from right fullback Kosuke Kimura and then let the altitude do the rest to slow down and eventually wear out San Jose for a strong 1-0 home win.

Dallas went to the mighty LA and taught the supposed big boys a lesson. After nearly 30 minutes of Galaxy domination, but no goals, Dallas went to my call for league MVP David Ferreira who scored a great goal, then they used excellent soccer to make 2 more huge goals happen, and win 3-0 on the road. Wow.

During the season the teams tied 1-1 in Commerce City on Jul 31 and tied again 2-2 in Frisco on Oct 9.

STORY OF THE DAY

Mexico is set to take a page out of US Soccer's book. And the haters can suck on this.

Not only has Mexico decided to put all their focus on next summer's Gold Cup by not sending their A-Squad to the Copa America, they won't even send their head coach. All hands will be on deck for the CONCACAF Championship and a trip to the next Confederations Cup for the winner.

You see, they know how much the USA got out of the Confed Cup in 2007, and they want a piece of that pie. Mexico will instead send their U23 team to Copa America.

And all the so called genius's trashed coach Bob Bradley for doing that exact same thing 3+ years ago. Believe me, it paid off. And US Soccer would do the same thing again if the sitch arose.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"There’s no excuses. We were out-played, beat on most matchups on the field, and we were out-coached."
-Los Angeles head coach Bruce Arena on his team getting routed by FC Dallas at home in the MLS Cup semifinal.

BIG EUROPEAN CLUB MATCHES COMING UP THIS WEEKEND

Matches & Scores
-Sat Nov 13
Juventus 1-1 Roma - 1 points apiece for two big name teams hoping to return to glory, and both are just out of the top 3 Champions League spots.
Barcelona Villarreal - #2 v #3, as the top 3 are pulling away from the rest, and Villa wants very much to stay up top.
-Sun Nov 14
Inter Milan 0-1 AC Milan - The Milan derby sees Ibrahimovic get revenge on his old team with a PK goal, then Milan hung on with 10 men. Inter under Benitez are already proving to be a joke.

QUESTION OF THE DAY

Hey ESPN! Where is your coverage of the OTHER MLS semifinal? We see the articles on LA v Dallas. But what about Colorado v San Jose? Not worth your time? You are only broadcasting the Final. Why do I have to keep calling these people out. At least this time I did it with a less personal approach (which was ill advised.)

ENGLAND

du Nord recap: Despite losing badly at home Chelsea are still in first place, but with a win at Everton Arsenal move up to 2nd within two points of the lead. Man U & Man City both dropped another 2 points and are in 3rd and 4th respectively. #5 Bolton is only 6 points ahead of #18 Birmingham. Wolves & West Ham are already looking doomed.

dN

Sachin Nakrani of the Guardian with five things we learned from the Premier League this weekend.

SPAIN

du Nord recap: Real Madrid won on the road and Barca won at home over #3 Villarreal so the top 2 just pulled away from the pack. And while a few other teams are decent (Valencia, Sevilla, Espanyol & Atletico Madrid), the rest are all closer to being egg sucking dogs than good teams.

dN

Sid Lowe of the Guardian tells us even though Real Madrid won the match, Sporting Gijon manager Manolo Preciado got the last word in on Jose Mourinho, and the rest of the round in the Primera.

FRANCE

du Nord recap: the amazing Brest stays in first place with a tie, while 3 teams jump over Rennes who lost again and fall to 5th place - Lille goes to #2, Montpellier at #3 and Paris St Germain up to #4. Thought to be contenders Marseille tied, as both Lyon and Bordeaux won.

GERMANY

du Nord recap: Dortmund's train kept a rollin' all night long with another win, and now a 7 point lead over new #2 Leverkusen who won as well. Mainz dropped further back with another loss, and Bayern gained a few more places up to 6th with an easy win.

dN

Raphael Honigstein of the Guardian on the big surprise from Bayer Leverkusen (2nd place), and the rest of the round in the Bundesliga.

ITALY

du Nord recap: A great weekend in Serie A with the top six teams facing each other. Milan beat Inter to stay at #1, while #2 Lazio beat #3 Napoli! #4 Juve tied #6 Roma, and Inter fell to #5 and now have a record of 5 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses in the league. (They had 10 draws and 4 losses in all of last year. Putting them on course this season for 16 draws and at least 6 losses. Brutal.)

ENDERS

Did you see Manny Pacquiao make mincemeat out of that creep Antonio Margarito on Saturday night in boxing?? It brought joy to my cold heart. And that is not easy. What was easy was the Pac-man's destruction of the cheater who could not load his gloves with plaster this time around. And what got my blood boiling even more was seeing that ugly video clip last week of Margarito and his boys mocking Pacquiao's trainer Freddy Roach over his Parkinsons Disease. Those cheap pea-brains made fun of Roach by stuttering and shaking, then laughing their sorry asses off in front of TV cameras. You think Manny gave Margo some extra bashing because of that. You can bet on it. If you have never seen 8 weight class champion Manny Pacquiao fight, do yourself a favor and You Tube him. Its a thing of beauty.

Methinks ESPN and Fox Soccer Channel don't like each other very much. Unfortunately, the only ones that lose are the fans and MLS itself.

isnt it a fifa requirement that Mexico send a team based on U-23 for the Copa America?
and if so, would that pretty much force you into what Mexico is doing?

Humberto,
That's news to me that FIFA is making them send their U23 team. The other guest country is Japan. Do they have to send their U23 team as well?
