    The Houston Chronicle has been dynamite all week. In fact, its soccer coverage is really quite good -- especially for a city with no MLS team.

    The cincy article didn't say where the 2nd leg would be played. Am I correct in assuming Baghdad?

    somehow it seems quite common in the U.S.

    The Bengals have had problems at Paul Brown Stadium since the day it opened. They just recently hired a new head groundskeeper - the guy who was the Crew's head groundskeeper at Crew Stadium.

    And I hear there's a team in Holland called Ajax or something that has a state-of-the-art stadium that features major turf problems, too. It's not just an American problem, in other words.

    Man, if you're not fired up after reading the "bigger than big" article by Kent McDill, you don't have a pulse. What a great article.

    If I remember correctly, they park cars under the Amsterdam Arena, and the exhaust of the cars cause problems with the grass. Plus the staduim has horrible lighting from the sun. I think they replace the grass three or four times a year.

    Eh.

    I don't know what it is about his writing, but even when he gets his facts straight (in and of itself a rare event) he somehow manages to miss the point somehow.
