    This entertained in quality. It's forgoten D.C. United's Mr. Kavolenko played at Indiana Univesity. I have taken liken to him during season. Powerful his shot has become. He applied just enough persure for recognition. He is Cladio Renya. That never was.

    Doesn't Mr Esquire always speak in such a manner (not that I'm much better)?

    Can Utah really support both an A League and a MLS team? Sure didn't work in Denver. Sounds a bit goofy to me.

    From the "This is Nottingham" article:
    "... names like ... Jaime Moreno will be familiar to those who watched the USA reach the quarter-finals of the last World Cup...."

    This is the moment between when the roadrunner drops the anvil and Wile E. Cayote gets squashed. Mr. Cayote just doesn't realize what's about to happen. He should call the owner of the Colorado Foxes.

    Is there an easy way to open all the articles at once? Right now I have to do a lot of clicking to view them all.

    An international homeless soccer tournament! Very strange, and check out the picture.

    Not to mention this part: "Born in Ghana, [Freddy Adu] moved to Florida in 2002 ..." Which may be accurate, but entirely misleading.

    Me too. Checketts probably doesn't want to appear to be the bad guy that crushed the Blitzz. He needs those fans to adopt his team.

    And the Blitz. I have no idea what they are thinking. Maybe they want to get something from Checketts to close up shop. Or maybe the Blitz owners can be given a partial ownership in the new team to "merge" them together. If the Blitz threatens (nicely) to stick around, maybe Checketts will take the 300K A-league fee and give them a few shares of the Utah Sasquatsches, and a co-owner's box.

    But as for the Blitzz surviving playing in the same stadium as an MLS team, that is too much to expect, IMO. They are toast.

    At least on paper in the Utah Universe, the Crew are the proud owners of an MLS championship.

    I know we're not supposed to do this, but given that the Olympics are coming, here's an phenomenal article on one of the biggest names of the Olympiad: swimmer Michael Phelps, who will be attempting to get 6+ gold medals.

    Few journalists have the ability to analyze sports to this level and do so in a way that is understandable to laymen.

    Phelps is cast against hype

    The other thing I would like to point out is that nowadays, swimmers must swim an event 3 times: prelims, semifinals and finals. It used to be just prelims and finals up until 2000. W/ the longer events that Phelps does, that takes its toll.

    Perhaps the battlecry should begin: MOVE THE BLITTTZZZ!!!

    (Perhaps to San Jose, where there'll be less competition).

    I imagine this a reference to the Open Cup Columbus won. What bothers me is how easy it is to conduct research and how little of it seems to be done, especially with reference to American soccer. It isn't as if they were looking for the Fall River roster in the 1916 Open Cup final (In this made up example. I don't know if Fall River made the '16 final. Ironically, I can't be bothered). This information is simple to find.
