USS about to announce two May friendlies. I'm guessing Mexico and some good Euro squad.

I thought there was never anything friendly about a US v Mexico match. :wink:

Liverpool sign Milan Jovanovic (currently with Standard Liège) to a three year deal starting this summer.

[USSoccer]

I really hope that USSF avoids the cash grab that is USA/Mexico and schedules something useful instead.

Donovan sets up a goal on a corner against Chelsea.

 

And draws a penalty shot.

The Champions League Final is going to be on FOX this year. That's a huge deal.

[wolf stansson]

Everton and Chelsea saying F YOU SPAIN today.

 

Three goals so far. Total passes on those sequences: 5.

That made my day. Is it this year's that it's going to be on a weekend?

Yep, a Saturday afternoon.

 

Landon drew a penalty that was saved as well. Could have had 2 assists.

Ive been against the whole Fox getting the Champions League, but this is very nice. Especially on a Saturday. Thats going to pull in some huge ratings when it already does well on a Wed. afternoon.

HD on FOX....they could put Buck and effing Aikman in the booth and it wouldn't bother me.

 

Seriously, this is going to be the best summer of soccer ever.

I was thinking bring John Madden out of retirement.

We need Siragusa roaming the touchline with buffalo sauce dripping down his chin onto his shirt.

And Chris Myers asking John Terry about boinking a teammates girlfriend on the sideline.

I can't wait until Pam Ward gets shoved away by the losing team's manager for asking what is wrong with their team.

Wow. Ashley Cole out 3 months with a broken ankle...after a tackle with LD.

 

As if that game won't have enough subplots.

 

Also, word is getting out that Deuce should be back on the field in March.

That is one soft challenge. You can't just poke at the ball like that.

 

 

As an aside, this Raul to NYRB stuff sounds fun if he takes it seriously.

On the plus side, Ashley Cole is as much of a wank as John Terry, so whatever. Can't wait to see Wayne Bridge and Brave John on the same backline in a couple weeks.

Johnson-----Rio----Terry-----Bridge does not scare me. Or Jozy and Clint.

Johnson is like the EPL Bornstein. Rio has been either hurt, suspended or bad the entire term-seriously, like approaching Agoos 2002 or Pope 2006 bad. He's going to kill England in the knockout stages when they play good teams. Terry is overrated. Bridge sucks. Johnson, Cole and Rio all will have missed significant time with injuries come June.

 

If I were Capello, I'd put Baines or Warnock back there before Bridge, honestly.

Guus Hiddink is leaving Russia this summer. If Bradley doesn't make it out of group play we better be in the running for him.

 

I think he will sign with an EPL team though.
