The Soccer Thread (IV)

Speaking of games in hand, Chelsea couldn't take full advantage of theirs, only getting a 1-1 draw against Hull.

 

Didn't they have everyone back from Africa as well?

 

Two more Premier League sides sent crashing out of the FA Cup, including Wigan, who lost 2-0 at home to League Two Notts County. Administration-hit Palace got a six-minute hat trick to beat Wolves 3-1.

 

I think in, what, four years?, it's been Tottenahm to Liverpool back to Tottenham then to Celtic. The guy gets around.

 

So, in two weeks, United has gone from UEFA Cup team and weak sister to Citeh to top of the table if Chelski lose or draw against Arsenal (and United beat Pompey by 2 or more)

 

1998 USMNT had a John Terry problem?

I did not know that.

 

Indeed, it shows how we all misheard U.S. soccer bigwigs.

Harkes was apparently "Captain for Wife."

That was the rumor back then. Wynalda stayed with her for 5 years after that.

 

I still place the blame more on Sampson's 3-6-1 more than who Harkes was banging.

 

Scary story from Glasgow: DaMarcus Beasley had his car set on fire intentionally.

Yeah. Harkes could have gang-banged the entire American side's worth of girlfriends/wives, but it still doesn't excuse losing to Iran.

 

3-what?
