The Soccer Thread (IV)

It's gotta be Moyes. United needs a Scottish manager - Busby, Ferguson, Moyes is next.

 

Drogba could miss World Cup due to elbow injury.

 

I'm guessing that he'll be the guy after the guy who replaces SAF. They will bring a Moyes or an O'Neill in first.

 

It would be a heel turn worthy of the WWE, but not a chance he goes to Anfield. ManYoo? Sure, but he'd have to commute from Bootle just to stay alive if he moved across the park.

 

Rugbyjack!

NBC is airing college 7s right now.

 

Woody Harrelson scored the winning PK to defeat England at Old Trafford...

 

That. Is. Awesome.

Though it pisses me off those celebrities got to play at the Theatre of Dreams. Can we schedule an SJ kickabout there?

 

Also, are the Europeans upset about that charity event being called Soccer Aid instead of Football Aid? I thought only we heathen Americans called is soccer.

 

Since the game is in England, they probably whined a lot. However, it is still called soccer in USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa.

 

Saw my first professional match last Saturday in Seattle. Sounders destroyed NE.

I'm certainly a soccer novice, but damn, that was fun. Didn't hurt that I saw what was easily the Sounders' best half of soccer ever.

Great pre-game environment. Great in-stadium environment. Great view. Very good (to my untrained eye) offensive soccer. Many of Seattle's best-but-unrealized chances were as or more exciting than their goals, two of which were mesmerizing.

I recommend catching a match at this venue to anyone with the means.
