The Soccer Thread (Version 7.0)

Great goal. Spurs really have a great chance to stay in the top 4.

 

I'll feel better if they beat Arsenal in the North London derby on Sunday.

 

Great striketh to hand his sideth the wineth.

 

The Special One must be ecstatic. With 15 left in the Copa Del Rey semis, 3-0 to Real Madird at the Camp Nou (4-1 on aggregate). I'm sure a "Translate THAT" tweet will come after the match.

 

When does World Cup qualifying resume? I'm ready for the next round of U.S. optimism only to turn into frustration and disappointment. *tongue firmly planted in cheek*

 

For the United States, it's March 22 and March 26.

Here's the complete CONCACAF schedule:

Thanks. Hopefully things go better this go-round.

Great midfielder for the Mannschaft and Werder Bremen. Of course, U.S. soccer fans hate him for the 2002 incident.

 

Rafa trying to out strange his anti-SAF press conference. Someone wake up Avram Grant.

Rafa can bitch about management at Chelsea all he wants. The most damning sign of their incompetence remains the fact that they hired Rafa Benitez.

 

I love the new USMNT kit. Just love it.

 

It's a solid one.
