I just thought of this while in the shower. What caused France to go from the 15th-20th ranked team in the world to one of the top five teams over the last 15 or so years? Easy answer, of course - immigration from Africa. Seven international players from the current crop were born outside of [...]

Former Rutgers men’s soccer player Nick LaBrocca, a Howell native and Christian Brothers Academy graduate, has signed with the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.
Labrocca was drafted by the team in January and after a solid training camp, during which he saw playing time in several exhibition and preseason matches, made the team’s final [...]
Rapids to Host Chivas vs. Pachuca on July 31
By: Clint | 2 Comments
First season of SuperLiga and El Dick-o gets to host a game and fortunately (or “un” if you prefer to watch bad American teams), we’re going to get to see the top two teams in Mexico (this season) face off. For anyone who has never been to a Mexican league game, I highly recommend attending [...]

As part one of an ongoing series (until I get bored of it and forget to write em up each week), this blog will measure the perception vs. the reality when it comes to just how much the Rapids suck this season.
In RSLs Offsite Blog, the MLS Predictor League is gearing up for week 2 [...]
Dallas - Colorado In Game Facts

*Jovan is awesome
*Dallas LOVES to commit blatant fouls and then cry and act like Italians when the ref calls them on the fouls
*Nunez is a punkass bitch
*Either the local broadcast (in Denver) has horrible mics on the crowd or Dallas has the worst home support on earth (I can hear 3 people cheering about once [...]

By: Clint | 1 Comment
Toronto FC sent forward Conor Casey to the Rapids who then sent a third round draft pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, an allocation and the MLS rights to Canadian player, Riley O’Neill back to the hosers.
Now, I realize Sam beat me to the punch on this, but you gotta understand, I was SO BUSY [...]
Kroenke and Arsenal - Will It Ever End?
By: Clint | 2 Comments
…hopefully not! Because this “story” is exposing (as if it needed exposure) the heart of the xenophobic, wealthy English. What is disappointing is how their lust for money and authority gets communicated down to the fans, and ACCEPTED for some bizarre reason, as “pride in country” or other nationalist feelings. It’s quite simple, football is [...]

By: Clint | 1 Comment
Here’s an interesting article from RTE (I loves me some Irish reporting!) - could we be looking at a Dein-Kroenke pairing? If that is a leap, allow me to talk more insanity by linking Dein’s friendship with Wenger to the possibility of Arsene eventually looking for a new challenge a’la Beckham and coming to America [...]

By: Clint | 1 Comment
In today’s Guardian, all that I once held to be true has been turned on its head. Beckham NOT coming to Los Angeles. Global warming DOESN’T exist. And most important of all - David Dein (the director and majority shareholder of Arsenal for nearly a quarter of a century) did not resign… instead it appears [...]

By: Clint | 2 Comments
It appears the all-ighty-ollar (hint: Mad magazine fold up) is breaking up the Arsenal family:
David Dein, one of the most powerful figures in English football, has quit as vice-chairman of Premier League club Arsenal because of “irreconcilable differences” with board colleagues, Arsenal said on Wednesday.
Arsenal said in the same statement they were not about to [...]
