Fulham's site has free live streaming audio. Which is our best bet for keeping in touch, because there's no TV coverage of this match either in the USA or here in Australia. Bugger... I'll do the news round-up in a bit...
For starters, two articles from Fulham's site about the Yanks who have invaded West London in recent weeks... McBride on Fulham Boca enjoying FFC No doubt these have already been posted in this forum-- but that should whet people's appetites substantially for this match.
* * *I'm William, and this is the news* * * As a theme for my round-up of the news, the general consensus from the UK's Press Association is that Brian McBride is listed in Chris Coleman's Fulham squad and will likely be on the subs' bench. Carlos Bocanegra and Kasey Keller will start for Fulham and Tottenham, respectively. And now, the news...

Article from FOx Sports World's site, on McBride. Via relay from the AP. Just a curious question-- can anyone remember who McBride scored against in his Everton debut last year? In my mind's eye, I keep thinking it was against Tottenham and Kasey Keller as well, but I'd feel better if someone could confirm this...
I'm almost certain it was against Keller as the opening goal in a 4-3 Spurs win. I think he was released on a breakaway and slotted home past Kasey.
I'll be at the game today. Pretty pumped to see three 'Nats on the same EPL field. The chat over here is that Hayles will start in the Saha role, which he did when Fulham beat Tottenham 3-0 in the fall. McBride seen as a likely sub. I'll give a report when I make it back in front of a computer.
McBride: Saha's too quick for me -- London Evening Standard A really good, and very lengthy, article on McBride's arrival at Fulham...
I have seen that goal a thousand times, but until your video, I never noticed what he does after the goal. Did anyone else realize he kisses his wedding ring at the end there? Of course whith how hot his wife is who can blame him?
