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.

New England Revolution v. Colorado Rapids (Saturday) Thanks to Wednesday’s win over D.C. United (the Rev’s first in ten matches), New England enter this weekend as only the fourth worst team in MLS!

Brazil v. Paraguay (Saturday) Have you seen the hairstyles on the Brazilian players? I’m pretty sure Robinho thinks he’s a dark-haired version of Johnny Bravo- but I digress. I have little doubt that Brazil will win this match, but based on what I saw from Paraguay in the World Cup last summer it may not [...]

As you may have noticed, yesterday I posted a brief reminder in the hope of getting more people to remember to send in their answers, and it worked- sort of. Henry J. emailed to tell me he was away on business and hadn’t been able to participate- it’s nice to know that there are still [...]

WOOOOOO!! Ross County F.C. v. Greenock Morton F.C. (Saturday) In last week’s match against Cowdenbeath- County’s most important match this season- they laid [...]
