The World Cup is over friends and while many great things came, it is time for us to move on!
Enter...the MLS

Thats right America! We have our own pro league and despite the haters, its a pretty damn good league.
Ok. I guess if we are being honest here, we are all most looking forward to the new English Premier League (EPL) season.

If this is any player but Henry it will be a let down.
What we really need is for our current owner to bring in a big money partner. Will Chang is a good guy and he does seem to want DCU to prosper, but he's not rich enough or connected enough in DC to get a stadium deal through. I think the reason he hasn't moved the team yet is because the DC market is a more valuable soccer market than the alternatives.
So, Portland and Vancouver next year. That should be cool for you Northwestern folks. Montreal will be a good addition, and I would put money down that we'd see a NYC2 either 2012 or soon after.
I have to pick an EPL team to follow, if for no other reason than to give me an excuse to drink Saturday mornings. Maybe Everton.

EDIT: Also, we doing IKTS and the other Premier League thing again, right?
Arrrrsssseeeennnaaaaaaalllll!!!
You'll get the same ups and downs with Arsenal as with Everton, but at least with Arsenal we have the hope of silverware!

I will be looking at Blackpool and Everton but with Chicharito at Man United, I might end up joining the horrible bandwagon if he lights things up.
Oh piss off :P Of the entire squad only Nasri, Sagna, Clichy, and Diaby are French.
Vermaelen is Belgian, Koscielny is Polish, Chamakh is Moroccan, Bendtner is Danish, Ramsey is Welsh, Fabregas is Spanish, Denilson is Brazilian, Arshavin is Russian, Rosicky is Czech, Almunia is Spanish, Djourou is Swiss, Wilshere is English, Walcott is English, Kieran Gibbs is English, Eboue is Ivorian, and Van Persie is Dutch.
Etc. Etc.
It hasn't been a proper French team for years now.
I'm following Chicharito to see how he does. Mexico needs some hope for 2014.
The entire youth academy is french
frenchies all the way down.
Bullshit.
Lansbury, Emmanuel Thomas, Simpson, Barazite, Sanchez Watt, Mark Randall etc. - none of them French.
Don't be as bad as the Leafs/Jays/Argonauts, wooo!
Currently DMing: None

Fucking Liverpool. Find your own manager. I bet Fulham finish somewhere between 8-13 or so this year, but then it's all downhill and we'll be back to relegation battles every year.
I kind of want Chicharito to suck for ManU, get traded somewhere else, and then light it up. Unless he grows five inches or so United fans will always be looking to upgrade at his position.
Fact. We are only 1/3 French. Geez
You forgot the Raptors.

USA USA! Blah blah blah population size disparity.
You just have to watch the right matches - US Open Cup matches! Won two weeks ago at Portland and last week hosting LA Galaxy.
Yeah...
AWAY:
HOME:
Also, how can Liverpool continually produce such shitty away kits? Their home kit is great, but they always fuck up the away kit.
Been playing FIFA 10 a bunch lately. What's up with Diving Headers and Curled Free Kicks? I can't seem to do any diving headers all, and none of the free kicks I curl in count as "Curled Free Kicks". What gives? Any advice?
The speculative £2 I stuck on him at 65/1 isn't looking so bad and it will make my world cup betting look a bit more positive.
Edit: For those who don't have access to cable television, the Women's U-20 World Cup can be watched live on FIFA's website.
My honeymoon is Oct 10-Oct 24 and we're going to Ireland-Scotland-England. So I figure maybe I can catch a Premiership match while I'm there. I tried last time I was over there but there was an international break and then the guy I was trying to get Liverpool tickets from didn't return my call once I was there. So I check the calendar.... half the trip is during an international break (Euro qualifying). Although Ireland and Scotland will be playing home matches....

Mate, £30million and £220,000 per week for Yaya Fucking Toure is even more ridiculous.
220k p/w for Yaya is the funniest thing I've heard in ages.
Some quality Peter Ridsdale style negotiation tactics there.
