Yesterday, I took a look at the bottom half of the table, in regards to shirt quality, and today I’ll be taking a look at the top 10 shirt combinations in the league. I was actually surprised because a number of teams had what I thought to be quality home and away shirts, when I [...]

The Playoff Rankings: Week One
Posted in General on August 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Now that almost every team in MLS has entered the last third of the season it’s time to start focusing on who is going to the post-season and who is not. Going forward commentary will focus on those games likely to move one or both teams involved from one group into another rather than which [...]
Reviewing Fox’s First 24 Hours of Champions League Coverage
Posted in Champions League, Television Rights, tagged Champions League, ESPN, Fox Soccer Channel on August 19, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Yesterday Fox rolled out their first offerings of the Champions League on TV and as with all new things, there was a bit of uncertainty beforehand. Personally I went to check the listings on FSC where I figured the majority of games were to be shown, I knew they were also on FSE but my [...]

In Cleveland right now, we’re expecting rain and a muggy 85 degree day. Personally, I don’t handle the heat all that well; anything over about 75 degrees makes me start longing for air conditioning and the crisp, cool days that autumn brings. What that means for me is that I have absolutely no desire to [...]

Kazimierz Denya of Legia Warsaw The team in question was that made up by the Allied POW’s in the movie Victory (or for those of you in the U.K., Escape to Victory). I think there were quite a few of you who ferreted out the answer, but only two of you were confident enough to [...]

This transfer season has really brought out the armchair manager in all of us. From Two Yellows’ dad stressing over Harry Redknapp’s transfers to my own personal daily agony over the selling of Xabi Alonso, it often seems like fans have more insight into how their teams work than managers do. In the past, fans [...]
What clubs would be candidates for the Super Euro League of Awesomeness?
Posted in Whimsy, Wild Ass Guesses, tagged European Super League, Speculation on August 18, 2009 | 6 Comments »
Arsene Wenger says it’s coming within a decade. A league (NOT a cup competition) made up of Europe’s elite clubs, that would also have relegation and promotion from the various Euro leagues. So, as a quick excersise, I wrote down some clubs that I think should be in if this supposed Euro Super League was [...]

Since we’ve seen all of the shirts this season, I figured I’d take the time to see who has the best and worst shirts, in my own personal opinion of course. Initially I thought it’d be easy, but it was actually harder that I had expected. A lot of the shirts have their own personal [...]

In spite of what you may have heard on Fox, Celtic-Arsenal is not the only tie going on today. It is, however, the only tie that most of us (possibly myself included) will end up watching. It’s got some familiarity, of course; we’ve all watched Arsenal before, and it’s probable most of us have seen [...]
