QuoteToday marks one year since Zinedine Zidane was named Real Madrid manager. Since then, he has more trophies (three) than losses (two), and Real Madrid is outscoring opponents by more than a 3-to-1 margin.

When does the MLS season start.  I want to get the kids down to a Crew game this year.

MLS plays a summer season from March - September, and playoffs in OCT/NOV.

The Europeans all complain about us playing a schedule that opposite everyone else in the world, until we offer to play them in an exhibition match in February, and give them a choice of location between Toronto, Salt Lake City, Denver, Vancouver, Chicago, Foxborough, and (coming soon!) Minneapolis.  Suddenly, they decide that playing a summer season for us isn't such a wacky idea.

the goalkeeper at the 10s mark of this video is one of my son's former teammates and great friends.  He used to be my son's backup as GK.

A little bummed that Lincoln bombed out of the FA Cup yesterday to Arsenal.  It would've been f'n' awesome to see Lincoln go through as a non-league side, and see Arsene Wenger have to explain that one.

That said, you could clearly see the difference in talent between the sides.


Millwall-Tottenham are on here right now, and so far, there appear to be no casualties in the stands, but they are playing on the North side, and not at Millwall, so that's probably helping keep it a little calmer.

At the rate the Crew are playing right now, if you wait until mid-June you should get some great ticket deals as they try to drum up support for a craptastic team.

Gawd they've looked awful so far this year :-\

it's snowing like crazy at the Minnesota-Atlanta match today.  Whoever thought a mid-March game outdoors in Minnesota was a good idea was on drugs.

The manager and assistant manager at Lincoln learnt their trade on football manager - tactics and scouting!
