Summer & lazy

I've been lazy. But there's some interesting stuff going on:

EPL is under way and *Chelsea* is on top - Man U is not!

American soccer is gaining world power. Feilhaber is in Germany, Danny Szetela to Newcastle, Adu to Benfica, the boys at Fulham, etc.

Blanco is the "designated player" hero - two goals, five assists, renwed Chicago's playoff hopes. Blanco also says players have been asking him about his stint in the MLS with interest.

Becks is out for the rest of the season (knee). Shit.

The U.S. take on Brazil Sept. 9th and will announce the roster Monday - they want to give a couple fringe players a look (Feilhaber, Adu, other players settling into their team) but most have been selected already.

Lamps is out for England

I'm back!
