I even included Brede Hangelund for the anal retentive members of the board . The five are in the match squad for Fulham... which is as follows: Niemi, Keller, Volz, Hughes, Hangeland, Stefanovic, Bocanegra, Konchesky, Bullard, Davies, Murphy, Seol, Bouazza, Andreasen, McBride, Dempsey, Johnson, Healy, Nevland, Kamara. You'll notice CONCACAF abroad luminary Paul Stalteri is absent, leaving the right back start to Moritz Volz. Rumors are Fulham's going with two strikers this week, so expect to see all of the Fulhamerica attacking players involved somehow... bench or field. Rovers are from: Friedel, Brown, Emerton, Samba, Khizanishvili, Warnock, Berner, Tugay, Dunn, Pedersen, Reid, Mokoena, Bentley, Roberts, Santa Cruz, McCarthy, Derbyshire, Rigters. Honorary MLS abroad Ryan Nelson is injured and will be MIA... so the lack of Stalteri and Nelson really puts a damper on the collective board orgasm session. The game is live, 10am EST, on Fox Soccer Channel.
EJ scores Fulham's For Blackburn - Brad Friedel scores one, Boca gets an own goal, Dempsey shoots one past Friedel off the Blackburn crossbar and it rebounds all the way across the field and Keller dives out of the way and thus an own goal by Dempsey. The last goal never actually happens, but it shows up on the scoreboard and in the official box score anyway because Superdave predicted it
I'll just be happy if every American scores a goal in this match...I don't think that's too much to ask.

Okay, things came up and I can't have FSC near me at the moment... myp2p is loading up real soon, not sure if it IS going to load... feed? feeeeeeeed?
3 of the 5 Americans starting for Fulham (4 of 6 with Hangeland) Kasey v. Brad hell yeah I am pumped!

"Eddie Johnson the lone striker" makes a run to the right side and draws a free kick KC Wizards get a mention
KK with a horrible clearance right to blackburn Dempsey eventually fouls on the resulting possession for blackburn
