http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/13/s...ball/13YES.html Cablevision Agrees to Carry the YES Network By RICHARD SANDOMIR As I posted in the Buisness and Media forum, this is good news for NYC Man U fans, plus just more soccer on more TV sets anywhere helps.
"soccer-literate" ha? perhaps that's another way of saying, completely dominated by Mexican immigrants? However, that's the first time I've seen that quote from Gaber. Sounds pretty emphatic, at least this is the first time I've heard anyone speak of Houston as a site of expansion with that much vigor.
Houston is almost always at the top of the non-MLS markets for Nielsen ratings of nationally televised MLS matches.
How is it in MLS' or the Crews' interest to extend his loan for 2 more years? The only way I could see MLS doing this was if it's something Brian really wanted.
cadaver said money so i'll say buddle, the players in the league, and building better relationships with teams in europe
Great article in the U-T there on the Gauchos. I hope they continue to get lots of pub; the Gulls (minor-league Hockey) do pretty well here with a winning team in a bush league. Here's hoping the Gauchos can do the same.
Actually, the loan would be extended for about 1 year, not 2 years. According to the article, Everton wishes to extend McBride's loan "to include the remainder of this season and the whole of next season." Thus, the loan would expire around mid-May 2004.
If Everton is looking only for a loan until 2004, what does McBride's age have to do with anything? Unless they mean that he is more susceptible to getting injured. However, they are not looking at an investment in the future, but for a quick-term fix. That's why it's a loan. His age should have nothing to do with it.
i think loan extension through the whole of next season would be great buddle dominates until then, is sold and and mchead returns to finish off his career triumphantly in c-bus
Lots of such vigor and related whatnot here: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37429
According to what I was able to dig up, the US last played in Houston in 1988 vs. Ecuador. So let me get this straight...A US team that hadn't qualified for the World Cup in 48 years doesn't draw well against world power Ecuador and that's reason enough to say that no more matches should be played there? Besides, what was the actual attendence for that match? I couldn't find it. What stadium was it played in? I doubt they played in the Astrodome. I wonder if this writer is aware of the fact that a year after this match was played, the US Nats drew just 10,000 for a World Cup Qualifier in soccer-literate California? Just because they might not have drawn well in the dark ages of soccer in this country is no reason to call a city unworthy of hosting a Nats game. This is really shoddy work.
"I missed." "I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." "If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be ****ed up." "I bought a seven dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring." "This shirt is dry clean only. Which means...it's dirty. " "I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shishkabobs." "Foosball ************ed up my perception of soccer. I though you had to kick the ball and then spin 'round and round. I can't do a backflip, much less several simultaneously with two other guys."
If I were Bruce and had to decide between Hejduk and Barrett (Denmark will keep him out of Bruce's sight) for left back, the decision, while not easy, would be for the man who has won man-of-the-match in Champions League play twice. I really think that Frankie will blossom this year at Columbus, while also understanding that there are some posters here who doubt his abilities. The World Cup, however, proved at what level Hejduk can play, and he will prove to be quite an acquisition, especially with his ability to go forward from his (now) right back position.
This morning I went to cook a chicken omelet, but I couldn't decide which ingredient to put in first...
"I think Pringles orginally intended to be a tennis company, but one day, they brought over a whole bunch of potatoes. Pringles is pretty laid back though, so they said, 'F--- it, slice 'em up!'" "Wearing a turtleneck and a backpack is like having a really weak midget trying to strangle you all day." Probably the funniest hour of stand up I have ever seen.
