    "He subsequently was suspended for 20 games after adding 12 minutes of injury time to an Ecuador league match involving a team from a city in which he was running for political office."

    And we complain about MLS refs.

    Well, we should, but I don't' think we've ever seen anything quit this shady.

    They're spending a half-mill on players? And getting 1,269 people a game? Good luck.

    The article about the controversial ref. I didn't read that article, but that can only be about Moreno right?

    well for all those people that wanted a rematch with south korea after they beat us 3-0 now have their wish. I hope we can turn it around, I am thinking we are going to need to beat korea and sierre leone. How many teams advance to the next round is it 8 or just the top 4? Not sure how it works.

    Midwest, the real one.
    "Any opportunity to host world-class soccer events is another step for Houston and the Texans organization" said Jamey Rootes of the Texans, who with the rodeo are the stadium's main tenants. "Our objective is to fully understand the soccer interest in a very diverse community. The more options we throw out there, the better the understanding."

    Not sure how this narrows it down. If they get a big turnout, is it because of the Mexican team, the MLS team, or the national teams from Cent. Am.?

    Oh well, it's good to see them testing the soccer market.

    I'd much rather be in Group D than Group C with Cameroon, Brazil, and Portugal. Oh well. I think we'll have a much better chance against South Korea (who we may just be overrating.) Don't forget that we played South Korea, in South Korea, with thirty-five thousand, screaming fans cheering on your opposition. Imagine being fifteen years old and seeing that?

    Either way, it should be fun to see.

    Didn't we also lose Spector early in that game? He might be more valuable than Freddy on this team.

    Since it's become a BS tradition:

    This wrinkle in time,
    can't give it no credit,
    I thought about my space,
    and I really got me down

    It's got me so down,
    I got me a headache
    My heart's crammed in my cranium,
    and it still knows how to pound,
