A good website for old Steamers news clips including news articles relating to the demise of the initial incarnation of the Steamers including a very good one by Kevin Horrigan.

Is that all? I could have sworn he was older than Preki. He looked and played like he was. :cool:

Wouldn't you rather play them in qualifying with Sampson as coach, though, than the new guy?

Will somebody kindly tell Jack Bell over at the New York Times, considering how little the Times bothers covering soccer, that I have no interest in seeing half of this Tuesday's Soccer Report being wasted writing some whiney crap about AIDS.

Hey, Jack, we've heard this all before. I know this is Gay Pride Week and you may feel you have to contribute some pious bull to it, but your job is to write about soccer--as a sport--not some guy utilizing it to advance his personal cause.

It's sweet that Ethan Zohn feels he needs a grand purpose in life to get himself out of bed every morning, but find someplace else in the goddamn paper to put it.

:mad:

[kenntomasch]

Well, that'll teach him.
