Few more thoughts: Freddy Adu should be taking every free kick for the US from now until he retires and Chad Barrett may look like Wayne Rooney but he plays like Graham. That dude is a waste.

I really like Sacha Kjlestan. Good skill, two-way midfielder. Creative. I like him. This U-23 team has some guys really worth watching like Jozy, Adu, Edu and Kjlestan. It also has some absolute garbage.

Peter Nowak is crap. I'm going to watch the games for Freddy and Jozy, but putting Edu on the back line and leaving off Feilhaber is ridiculous. I don't care what his form is like, you get him in form. He is clearly having a garbage year, but this is a kid who has 15 caps, has played in the Champions League and trains with a premiership club. There is no way Eddie Gaven or Dax McCarty are in better form. Let's just hope 'ole Pete doesn't stick Freddy at left back again.

Michael Bradley back on the score sheet this week.

My reaction exactly. Regardless, I'm not drafting him in the first two rounds now, maybe not even first three. I heard a surgeon on XM today talking about it - it has little or no impact on his batting. Only affects his throwing - i would be running anytime he gets the ball in his hand this year. Hmmm. That's amazing that it won't affect hitting. I still have the feeling it will be an issue all year so I dropped him off my fantasy board all together. Ok. It's been an issue since 2003 and he has had some pretty ok fantasy years since then.

Barnsley.

Hate to admit it, but I wish United had signed Torres instead of Tevez. Not that Tevez hasn't come up huge in some games (at Anfield, at Lyon) but Torres leading the line and Rooney playing off him would be devastating. Gah. Nobody wants to think about that.

Anderlecht got blown away by Bayern. Laurens is going to have a field day at school (full of Anderlecht fans, the stadium being only ten miles away) rubbing it in. :cool: Let them have it. Even scarier when he is blowing through your back 4.

Old news. We knew about this last season.

Alright, who wants to talk hot UEFA Cup action with me? http://cultureofsoccer.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/franck_ribery.jpg Booyah.

On the other hand, you can't schedule competition like Spain and Argentina without plans to bring your A game. /copa america not withstanding.

Separate draw. Schalke is through.

Forza Roma and Seth. They are through. Chelsea is through. Schalke and Porto in extra time.

Porto with a clutch, clutch goal in the 86th from Lisandro. Assuming the score holds, we'll see pk's.

Roma are all but through. 71st minute and Pepe just went off for Madrid. Looks like Schalke are through on aggregate and Chelsea is up 3-0 and I can safely say are going through.
