Anyone from Jacksonville?
USA v Scotland preview | Sky Sports
Get yourself along to cheer on Scotland "O flower of Scotland When will we see your like again That fought and died for Your wee bit hill and glen And stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again The hills are bare now And autumn leaves lie thick and still O'er land that is lost now Which those so dearly held And stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again Those days are passed now And in the past they must remain But we can still rise now And be the nation again That stood against him Proud Edward's army And sent him homeward Tae think again" |
Was it the Scots or Irish that could hoodwinked out of a World Cup berth by the Henry handball?

US vs Scotland, I think you have a chance, we're not exactly Italy or Germany but we're getting better as the friendly against Italy showed.

Maybe I'm crazy but I thought I saw a few top players in the EPL this past season were Scots. Personally I think the EPL is the best of the best, I really feel it's better top to bottom than like La Liga. UEFA seems to agree with my view too. I would think the entire Scottish team would be playing for clubs in the EPL but some seem to stay in the SPL which is good in it's own way.

The EPL is THE place for stars of soccer to earn money, so that's how it has the greatest depth in quality Won't be long before the Chinese league overtakes that position though |
Egh, I can nearly count the number of our starting international team players in the EPL on 1 hand. Our Captain wasn't allowed to re-join Everton this year on loan, Donovan that is. I see we have 4 goalie's over there but really only 2 have seen international team action and a midfielder in Dempsey who has been a heck of a player for Fulham.
I've heard that about China, apparently their basketball league has taken off with the arrival of so many NBA players in the last few years, particularly in the Summer/Fall when it looked like the NBA season was not going to happen this year due to the player strike. They have gotten pretty good rather quickly. I would not be surprised if you see more of the top footballer's heading over there since some of those teams can match some of the enormous contracts European teams are putting out. The only question is, are those players willing to play by China rules? A few of the NBA guys found out real quick that the China rules aren't fun to deal with. |
China rules may be an impediment but China big bucks are surely enough of a lure

5-1 to the USA :-(

Ouch..........sorry missed it here, was watching the Indy 500. Don't know if it was even on TV or not.
|
Ah no wonder, it was played last night......still don't think it was on TV unless it was one of ESPN's oddball channels or Fox Soccer Net.

ESPN said that Donovan lit them up with a hat trick. Everton has to be beyond disappointed that they could not get him back on loan this year. He's got a heck of a shot that has some serious spice on it at times but he is also very creative with the cheeky shots that magically find their way into the net.

I have a soft spot for the Toon team. Kinda the same thing with Tottenham. I think Tottenham is because or Redknapp, he reminds me of Droopy Dog with his face. Toon though is because they are so far to the North they might as well play in the SPL. They are just kind of out there all by their self with Sunderland. I wouldn't mind seeing him pair up with Rooney and Chicharito for my boys, Man U. God I want to get over there so bad and take in a game at Old Trafford. I wish Highbury was still there, that was a neat little place.
