Getting Back In With One Footcer In The Water
To answer the question that may have circulated around some people's minds, yes I was in Section 8 for the flare incident in last Friday's 0-0 draw against D.C. United (and I saw it all) but no, I wasn't one of the Soldier Field Five.
I'm too old for that stuff. Though I totally cheer on the kids who did light the flares!
Of course, I was having a bad week so I didn't have my camera. Well I did, but my memory card was full.
And I also wasn't passed out drunk for the past three days after Fulham's shocking 2-0 win over Liverpool at the Cottage. Though I will be drunk by 8:00 a.m. to watch them (hopefully) beat Wigan - though if they lose, it's not like anyone's beating Wigan anyway.
The truth of the whole matter is that I've been trying to get my life together before November starts since I participate in National Novel Writing Month. So, in doing some research, watching a lot of movies, and such, footcer hasn't always been the first thing on my mind.
However, rumors of this blog's demise are highly exaggerated.

Great news on the "shut up you dirty Scots" front. The United States will be playing a friendly against Scotland next month - in Scotland. I'm glad to see that the United States is choosing to play European teams on their own turf for the leadup.
Though the preferred match against the Czech Republic is of course not going to happen as they're fighting for their World Cup life on the same day. I like the matchup but it's not really the kind the United States needs. Sure it's the kind of starless team that we might draw in the group stage which is great. But it's not the kind of superstar matchup, need to shut down a powerhouse up front that we'll need once we get past the group stages (of course that's an if, but I'm being optimistic).
Ukraine was sitting right there but instead we choose to play someone who speaks our own language.

Speaking of playing for their lives though, I really do feel bad for the San Jose Earthquakes. They play their asses off all season to get the Supporter's Shield and then let a much inferior L.A. smack them around. Unlike New England who should be able to come back from a 1-0 deficit to MetroStars (probably on a last second Taylor Twellman goal to send it into extra time), San Jose looks to be done.
And then maybe we'll finally know if this is their final game in California.
Other than that, I swear I'll write some more stuff this week.

To be fair to the MNT, scheduling a team like Scotland at this point is better for preserving the fitness of your players. As it is, Reyna may be in question now, given his injury in his club match this past weekend. There's no need to schedule a Sweden or a Poland and get someone like McBride or Twellman knocked out for the big tournament.
Hmm? No new post for the England Argentina game?
Hope you're back soon
