I'm so mad I'm not even ready to talk about it yet.  I've already decided to go talk to Klinsmann at that Starbuck's he hangs out when I'm in The OC over the break.  I want to know what happened - I'm guessing power play between the Board and Klinsmann.

i think the rumor is control over the squad selection
 
 us soccer should thank its lucky stars that a top manager would entertain even the notion of coming over

I agree.  Give him whatever he wants.

To watch them live, I used to use Cool Streaming or PPLive, but I haven't had to do that in a while so I'm not sure if they still work.
 
 If you missed them and want to download them, you can bittorrent them through fbtz.com, if that's still running.

I'm counting on the newly resurgent toon to take at least a point of chelsea this week!!

guess it depends who's healthy
 
 which is no one
 
 i dont think that emre or solano are going to see action
 
 which means luque and rossi upfront with martins
 
 butt and the kids in the middle
 
 doesnt matter who's at defense, they're all pretty horrible
 
 hard to get a point against chelski with that  

[brennser]

you gave em a tough time - I would have been thrilled with a scoreless draw - oh well

[brennser]

well on Sunday I will be at Upton Park watching my beloved Manchester United against West Ham - hopefully the Hammers won't be too fired up for Curbs and we can get another 3 points under our belt

[godsshoeshine]

sounds like an awesome time, have a good one

Seriously?  At first I said not very nice things about you, but that's just because I'm super jealous.
