I can honestly say that I didn’t think last week’s challenge was going to be as difficult as it turned out to be. Sure, a lot of the questions dealt with the lower leagues in England, but three of them involved players or managers in the Premier League, one involved an American player, and one [...]

Intrigued by the story of Leyton Maxwell- he was the answer to question #5- I did a little digging this week to find out more about him and his sole appearance for Liverpool. First off, there aren’t a lot of pictures of Maxwell in a Liverpool kit on the web- hence the postage stamp to [...]

New England Revolution v. Chivas USA (Saturday) All the talk in New England this week was about the signing of the club’s first Designated Player, Argentine striker Milton Caraglio. Not all of that talk was good, however. Supporters are concerned because Caraglio- just 22- has already suffered a knee injury serious enough to cause him [...]

Consider yourselves lucky to be reading theses words. Only a month after hurricanes touched down in the “World of Fuse” a freak thunderstorm arrived bringing down power lines on three of the four sides of my block yesterday afternoon and it was over 12 hours before power was restored. It rained hard enough for long [...]

How good was Andrew M.’s “guest challenge?” So good that only person who submitted his answers was Harry J., and even though he only got about half of the questions correct, he still thought Andrew did a great job. I think so too! Questions 2, 3, and 8 made me jealous that I hadn’t thought [...]

Last week’s challenge was perhaps the most difficult or time consuming one I’ve presented to you in recent weeks, but I hope you enjoyed it for the same reasons I enjoyed creating it- it uncovered some pretty interesting stuff, especially about Ferenc Deák, Andrew Watson, and Donald Bell. We had three excellent submissions from Ben [...]

New England Revolution v. Vancouver Whitecaps (Saturday) It was made public earlier this week that the Revs are still looking for another player- and it will be the club’s first Designated Player!! I have only two words to say about this- HURRY UP!! Don’t get me wrong, the last few player acquisitions (Lekić and Feilhaber) [...]

Under normal circumstance I refrain from getting involved in transfer speculation and the rumor mill here on ATD in anything but the most light-hearted manner. At worse, I might report on what the rumors are around a given player or club, but I’m always careful to state that, in the end, they are only rumors. [...]
