So while combing through the expansion forums on Bigsoccer.com, I came upon one forum that is all about getting rid of city threads that are done in the eyes of serious expansion possibilities (Seattle [Sorry Hermano], San Antonio and Cleveland).
One response was this one below:
“Let me just add that if Tulsa gets a team before Philadelphia, then there is something desperately wrong with the Philadelphia sports scene and we should be ashamed of ourselves. (No offense to Tulsa).”
I agree with you “Skyscraper” (Member since Dec. 2003, 489 posts), if Tulsa gets a team before the City of Brotherly Love, then something is DEFINITELY wrong.
Can you SAY that?
So is Harry Redknapp really allowed to say that he can’t get his team from being relegated if he doesn’t have players who don’t speak English??
Sorry Harry, maybe your team just s*cks.
So I was watching “Love Actually” Friday night with the young lady (insert “You know how I know you’re gay?” line here), and there is a scene where a 40-ish guy rents a cottage in France by himself. The property caretaker (a woman around 60) drives up to the cottage along with an attractive brunette in her late 20s, and tells the man that this woman speaks neither English (his native tongue) nor French (which he can at least butcher his way through), but rather is from Portugal.
He thinks to himself for a moment, then makes a kicking motion and says “Eusebio, er, er, er, molto buono.”
The caretaker responds, “She’s about 10 years too young to understand your reference.”
Troubling news this holiday weekend for F.C. Camena supporters: former Camena star Alfredo Di Stefano (a.k.a. Di Sephoro) is in critical condition in a Valencia hospital. Doctors believe the former arancianerri midfielder will require bypass surgery in the coming days.
Di Stefano, who suffered a heart attack on Christmas Eve, joined Camena on a transfer from Always Argentina. Former teammate Passarella (nee Pallera), who followed Di Stefano from Always Argentina to Camena, described him as a “great leader on and off the imaginary video soccer field, and someone whose short passing and dribble accuracy were well above average.”

If you play and MLS and you’re not one of the 30 players* called into the U.S. National Team January training camp, you’ll have to get tickets to the U.S. games just like the rest of us poor schmoes. Sorry to the following MLS players who did not get the call:
More thoughts on the 30 who did make it to come…
*Chris Armas is recovering from an ACL tear; though not in the January camp, he still may make the final roster for Germany (much to our collective chagrin).
