That was amazing. Finally having him on my fantasy squad pays off!
Dempsey is two completely different players when playing for club and country. His work rate is easily doubled when he plays for his club, and his first touch seems far better.

It's also possible his Fulham service is a lot better.

I won't disagree with that.

Landon looked solid in his first start Got the inswinger that resulted in the first goal and was a threat on the right.

Gee, how would have thought that Tom Hicks could produce such a douchebag for a son?  Shit, I'd be happy if they threw Hicks out on his ass with his cunt son. He's been a worthless piece of shit drag on the whole organization since it started. I don't know that Gillette is any better, but at least he isn't such an overt douche.

On a footballing level I didn't realise that - if we'd beaten fourth-placed Spurs in the postponed match we'd only have been one point behind them.
Let's pretend all the other teams lost and Man City didn't have a game in hand that's not important right now...

 Torres left hurt. Gerrard left hurt. No goals scored by this red sack of shit, your Reading own goal wiped away by Benayoun making a silly penalty in stoppage time, then mercifully finished off for the Reading vicrtory. You want to talk about Liverpool making the top four? Really?

Yeah, that was a truly shitty game. Liverpool never looked dangerous, not one bit. I have few words left. I sure hope Maxi Rodriguez can score goals, because the rest of this fucking team can't do shit. Rafa has balls - turns down 8 million pounds for that useless sack of shit Babel, because he wants 10 million. Is he high? Babel ain't worth 5 IMO. Lucas can't even head in a sure goal. It's not much good making offensive runs if you can't hit the fucking net to save your balls.
I never thought Liverpool would be the first of the big 4 to drop out of the top 4 but yeah, it's going to be a minor miracle.

You need to understand British culture and politics fairly intimately to get a lot of the humour in it: the Al Mujihadeen story, for instance, requires you to know about British anti-terror legislation, other stores require you to get subtle cultural references to people like Ben Fogle. It's not for people outside Britain, in general. On the upside, if you do get the references it is far funnier than the Onion has been since the end of the nineties. The Onion is the shitty version of the Onion, these days.

Benayoun out 2-3, and he has actually been performing this year.

Pretty much. Hey, the MLS draft looked good, though! Sounders reach to get a 2nd rounder in the 1st round, but I suspect Sigi knows better than I do. Also drafted Seamon. Instantly shoots to the top of the most popular jersey name list.

Philly kicked ass. They picked up Fred, three of the top seven.
DC got their keeper of old back. Clint Mathis joins Bruce Arena's 2002 world cup reunion tour.
My team got some decent guys who won't hurt if they suck and Stuart Holden's brother.
And just for the record Columbus got the name of the Draft in Bright Dike. that's Dee-kay
Sons of Ben are going to be awesome. With RBNY finally getting something decent to play in, we have a real northeast rivalry battle royale set.

And the Curse of the USMNT continues... Dempsey has "Cruciate Ligament damage" according to Hodgson.
I guess this is one way for Dempsey critics to not have to see Dempsey in the WC (possibly, he may be back in time, as it doesn't appear to be an ACL injury). Not saying this is how people wanted it to go down, of course.

This one hurts a bit,but I'm in the Eric Wynalda camp of thinking Robbie Findley will turn heads. I think we can do * OK* without Deuce.
Now if this was Landon, who may I say was solid against Citeh as Everton just bitch smacked them, then I'd be in abject misery.

Deuce will be back before the end of the season. no need for surgery, at least not for a few years...

Donovan just scored for Everton. Think we'll ever see him in a Galaxy jersey again? I think no.

He almost got two. Second was cleared off the line
In other news, Charlie Davies is jogging and doing agility drills, and will be back in Sochaux at the end of February, scheduled to return to action this April. If that happens, he's going to South Africa unless he just totally sucks.

I thought he said it wasn't happening. Of course, they can fucking have him. That game against Wolves was downright sorry. Not only boring football, but just plain bad football on Liverpool's part. Why risk Gerrard instead of Aquilani? For that matter, why use Lucas instead of Aquilani? Fucking useless donkey-legged sack of shit he is.

So Setanta Sports US is dead as of March 1st. Fox Soccer bought some of their rights, is negotiating for others but likely won't get all of them, and have will launch a new channel, Fox Soccer Plus on March 1st. Of course, there is no word from any of the carriers as to who will be carrying it and when. DirecTV still has no word on that. Also, Fox Soccer Channel is now being broadcast in HD - but none of the carriers are actually showing it in HD. No word on when that will happen from DirecTV either. Fuckers.
What it likely means is us Setanta subscribers will lose a few weekends of EPL, and any hope of seeing rubgy in the US is dead.
