Is anyone out there?

This blog has been dead so let's throw some quick thoughts into the mix:

Watched the end of the US women's game today and was shocked at how poor we looked. The Koreans dominated the last 35 minutes, pushing us around and controlling possession. Yes it was raining hard, but what a howler for Solo- we were lucky to get a tie.

Man U is in big trouble. Ronaldo has been sorely missed and I don't think his return is going to be enough. and as i said last year with Ballack and Lamps, how could they think Carrick and Hargreaves belong on the field together? they play the same damn position.

Welcome back SWP! it seems that maybe Jose didn't suck all the life out of your career after all.

Fox Soccer Channel showing Russia v Macedonia and games of that ilk is an insult. I have to believe that if they put the big games on instead of saving them for PPV, their ratings would spike and the ad rates would follow. Who is going to pay 24.95 for Israel v England?

Liverpool looks like the team to beat this year- Torres looks great. They really should let Crouch go at the transfer window this winter- can't see him getting a game. Arsenal will fold up as the year goes on- too young, not enough leadership. Man U will fall short and Chelsea will hang around despite continuing to play the most boring soccer for the money I can imagine. Top 4? Lpool, Man U, Chelsea, and not Arsenal. I look for either Everton or maybe even Tottenham in a big comeback (if Jol keeps his job).
