  • Shalke secured a very lucrative shirt deal compared to some other well-supported clubs in Europe. That would help to keep prices down for fans. Also in Germany, they have safe standing and alcohol allowed, which helps create a vibrant atmosphere - something becoming sadly lacking in most grounds, even in England these days.

        • It is fitting that Drogba scores the goal to win the FA Cup. He's had a phenomenal year, justifying his transfer fee when Chelsea snapped him up.

                • Too bad I don't have a clip of this one free-kick goal in this weekend's Belgian competition. It was a crucial game for a certain team, who had to win it if they wouldn't want to get relegated. So a few minutes before the end the score is 2-2 and they still have every chance to save themselves. They get the free kick against right on the edge of the penalty box diametrically opposed to the goal. The goalkeeper tries to organize a wall with only 5 men, the wall moves several meter to the right, several meters to the left, or has a gaping hole of a meter of 2 in the middle before the ref whistles. The free kick kicker taker scores, happily making using of all the free space to the left and the right of that tiny wall. The goalkeeper is absolutely in fury, jumps up and down and falls over. The team is relegated. It was pure tragicomedy.

                    In other news, Red Bull NY stomps over Columbus 4-0, without 3 starters (Reyna, Waterreus, and Freeman), and wunderkind Jozy Altidore out because he wanted to attend his prom (I **** you not). Also Juan Pablo Angel scored his first MLS goal in this match (and assisted on two others).

                    Toronto FC's winning run comes to a halt as DC United takes the match 2-1, by a Jaime Moreno PK, which tied him for the all time MLS goals scored record (108 with Jason Kreis)

                      There was one exactly like that in a WC I think, Cameroon against Brazil or something.

                      Watch the Zaire player (in green) come charging out and kicking the ball during a freekick. Hillarious especially when he pleads his innocence when the ref g...

                            But what do you expect? Until a soccer-specific stadium is built, the teams needed to use American football stadiums... and that included the lines on the field.

                                See, that's the problem with football in your country. Elsewhere it's a grass-roots movement. Teams started out with a "grass" field and from there on they grew, building stands and entire stadiums to cope with increasing audiences. In the US a bunch of bobos wanted to create a significant league top-down and teams end(ed) up playing on rugby fields in massively oversized stadiums.
