Just news and notes today, lads and lasses. After yesterday’s events in Arizona, I can’t really bring the fastball today. Good news, Miami, MLS realizes you’re still a city! [MLSSoccer.com] Becks isn’t going to be plying his trade at White Hart Lane. [Yahoo!] No more Singapore national team, lads. At least we still have Cambodia! [...]

Awaking to the news this morning that Roy Hodgson has left Liverpool Football Club by “mutual consent“, and that club legend “King” Kenny Dalglish (we English have a lot of Kings, by the way) will take over for the “rest of the season”. So let’s talk about it, shall we? Two of our authors here, [...]

Ross County F.C. v. Dundee United F.C. (Saturday) This weekend’s Scottish Cup fourth round tie (assuming it takes place!) is a replay of last year’s final in which Ross County’s dramatic Cinderella story came to an abrupt end. Hopefully this match will allow the club to recapture a little of last year’s magic and bring [...]

To the right there is a painting of Emmanuel Adebayor; it came up from a Flickr account when I did a Google Image Search for “Emmanuel Adebayor Painting”. Why would I do that specific image search, and why would I need a painting of Togo’s most famous striker? Both good questions. Let’s talk about it [...]

About a Roy
Posted in English Premier League, tagged Liverpool, Roy Hodgson on January 6, 2011 | 2 Comments »
In the eyes of Liverpool fans, the media covering the team, the media covering English football, the broadcasters, the punditry, and pretty much every blogger, Roy Hodgson is not long for Liverpool. If losing to Northampton Blackpool Wolves Blackburn doesn’t do him in, losing to Manchester United on Sunday (in what has to go down [...]
The Thursday Challenge: The Mostly American Edition
Posted in Chinese Super League, Europa League, General, Homerism, MLS, Trivia, UEFA, USMNT, Whimsy, Wild Ass Guesses on January 6, 2011 | 6 Comments »
Oh my. This week I thought I’d throw the Thursday Challenge spotlight- mostly- on those American footballers playing abroad, especially in Europe. I also thought it might be nice to give a little attention to those Yanks who don’t regularly cross the footballing radar by showing up on ESPN, FSC, or even Gol-TV. There are, [...]

Demba Ba: Doing it Wrong
Posted in Bundesliga, English Premier League, Transfers, tagged Demba Ba, Hoffenheim, West Ham on January 5, 2011 | 6 Comments »
For the last four years, striker Demba Ba has been a stalwart for Hoffenheim. Those four years were pretty eventful for the Bundesliga club; they saw the team come up from the 2.Bundesliga and into the Bundesliga proper, where – after an explosive league debut in 2008-09 – they’ve gradually established themselves as a solid [...]
