Evertonis there a reason gol or fox soccer don't pick these up? i mean, leading into the world cup, wouldn't it be a testing ground of some sort? maybe i'll start a 3rd soccer channel and get everything no one else shows.

EGYPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dominated, embarrased, DESTROYED Algeria 4-0.
Algeria so, so frustrated, they had 3 red cards, playing 11-8 the final few minutes. They are so, so lucky they qualified for the WC, Egypt clearly the better team yet chokes when it comes to WC qualifying (im a Viking fan too, FML).
But alas, on to the final on Sunday vs Ghana, where Egypt will go for their 3rd straight Cup Title, would be an African first.

Holy ####...what a goal by Fletcher for Burnley.
Unbelievable individual skill.

Sounds like Jozy had a pretty productive day for Hull, assisting on the first goal and drawing the penalty for the second.

Great to see Landon and Jozy making an impact overseas.Let's hope that Gooch and Davies can make it back and help the US give the English a run for their money!!

In fairness, Jozy didn't do much special to earn the penalty. Just a bouncing ball at the top of the box and the defender bowled him over. The assist was impressive, though. Great strength to hold off a defender. And he apparently had a nice chance that drew a good save from Hahneman right before being subbed for Zaki.

He should have had another one too.

Shocking stuff here. Togo has been banned from participating in the next two Africa Nations Cups for sending its players home after a team bus shooting killed two of its men. Have you ever heard anything more ridiculous?

My employee who lives in the UK and has been a Liverpool man since birth says there is a rumor that the Reds might be interested in Donovan on a permanent basis. Told me it's rumor stage, but if it happened, "You heard it from me first." Guess that would make Saturday's game a sort of tryout for Donovan.

Saw him making that run right around the time they hit midfield. I started yelling at the TV that he was gonna be wide open right down the middle. They didn't listen to me...

#### this ####. Absolutely dreadful....sickening.
They don't even deserve to be on the pitch today.

He did it again but Park didn't need his help.

Clichy is a shell of the player he was two years ago. Nani was abusing him even before the first goal.

I don't think I've seen Arshavin make a pass all game...but what else is new...
Man U then Chelsea then Liverpool?Good luck Gunners.

I've said it all year....my personal hope was a top 4 finish. The team isn't "there" yet, and maybe they won't ever get there, I don't really know. But qualifying for the Champions League when only 4 of the Big 5 will make it (plus other challengers like Spurs, Villa) would be a good achievement not only from a soccer standpoint but from a financial standpoint.

Anyone read The Beckham Experiment? I got it for Christmas (as requested), and I just got a chance to start it. I don't read nearly as much as I should ( 
), so it will probably take me a solid month or so to finish it, but I'm about 30 pages in. It's not groundbreaking non-fic by any means, but it's pretty interesting to me.
Anyone read it? Thoughts (without spoilers, please)?

for those of us without steel traps for brains, its probably worth reminding everyone who actually won. i believe it was egypt for those who care. i think i watched egypt beat algeria thursday. but that seems ancient now.

Just finished watching...United could've/should've been down 3 goals before that first one if- oh- any gunners' player was capable of hitting a shot on frame (besides Almunia). They were able to get themselves in front of goal with relative ease but horrible once there.Steve Tasker said:
Arshavin, despite the dribbling, kept getting himself in good spots to score and flubbed every shot. Fabregas- not a good game for him at all. Song remained the same.
Funny- but that first half hour I watched thinking United just missed having another quality player besides Rooney (who was frigging amazing today- and every day, really)- got me thinking about how much they missed Ronaldo... and then Nani went all Ronaldo down that wing. Wow what a move he pulled- wish the cameras had caught that one up close. But United showed their class in direct attacking- something Arsenal should learn from (and I'm a big fan of how they move the ball around- but sometimes you need to switch it up). Carrick was a monster all game on both sides of the ball. good games from Fletcher and Park... and even Mr Yellow himself Scholes.

Wait... a super-injunction?Just found out... the United Arsenal game was shown in 3-D?! yowza.

Speaking of which, does anyone have this yet? Who is your provider if you do? I called DTV and they told me they hoped to have it up and running mid-Feb.

I read a bit on this. Very weird stuff but it is essentially a curb on freedom of the press as it relates to privacy rights. When enforced, papers cannot even mention that they have a story. Apparently there are a lot of English footballers that have these in effect and the Terry ruling may have consequences as it relates to these. Btw, as far as I can tell, Bridge had split with the chick and while it's still not cool to tap your friend's ex, it doesn't seem like quite as big a deal as it is being made out to be. Now if it comes out that this happened while she and Wayne were still together...
they were together when the affair was going on. it was a long running affair too. rumors that Terry paid for an abortion for Perroncel too...
Lots of good stuff on this one. Allegedly Terry has had quite a few trysts....well, more than a few. Even though he's married to his childhood sweetheart, he had to come out in 2005 and admit to all of the infidelity, and swore it would never happen again....
And Perroncel and Terry's wife are were great friends tooSimilar threads
