All Day Every Day

White Kix and I were talking about how it never gets old to see the Galaxy beat Chivas. And with that I give you Beckham's first MLS goal this season...and it just happened to be the game winner in the the SuperClasico.

The Arsenal School of Diving


In the wake of Eduardo's infamous dive, Emmanuel Eboue felt the need to get in on the diving action. The above pic is courtesy of Republik of Mancunia. If you haven't seen the now famous dive that Eduardo pulled off to get the penalty against Celtic midweek, then I've got it below for your enjoyment. I've then posted Arsene Wenger's response saying that Eduardo was indeed fouled and that there's been a witch hunt for Eduardo. Well, I'll just present you with the evidence and you can come to your own conclusion on what Wenger's teaching the Gunners.

Sounders FC vs Toronto FC

An unbelievable "choke on the open net" by DeRo.

Real Madrid vs Deportivo La Coruña

The Milan Derby

I thought AC was playing well to start the match...and then the wheels fell off.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Highlights

ManU gets lucky with the PK call and own goal. Rooney's touch was going out of bounds when Almunia hits him and Fantasy Football owners everywhere are upset with the Diaby own goal...well, at least I am.

Fit But You Know It by The Streets

Seeing Sterlinho's post about the up coming Game with Fame event featuring Megan Fox got me thinking about music in video games. I certainly feel that FIFA does a great job of putting together an eclectic mix of music from all over the world. But I think the one song that has struck me the most is Fit But You Know It by The Streets. The song was so unique in sound and content that it really stood out. According to Wiki, the song is about Rachel Stevens of S Club 7, who used to date former Arsenal vice-chairman David Dein. The video also has a cameo of the stars of The Football Factory.

I alluded to it in a previous post, but I spent Sunday in the sand on Alki Beach for the first annual Sounders FC Soccer Beach Blast presented by Super Supplements. The team I was playing for, Ginger Squidge, won the tournament. The sand was really tough to play in and it also cancelled out skill. The team we played in the final really packed it in defensively and just hustled. They weren't really soccer players, which is why I felt confident going into penalty kicks. Check out the video to see more action and an interview with me.


The girls from Doyle's were good. They ran everybody. I was glad that I didn't have to play them. I also chatted with Taylor Graham for a while and he's a really cool guy. Rookies Evan Brown and Mike Fucito were also there to present trophies to the winners.

Yanks in Europe

Adrian Healey and Janusz Michallik discuss the early season playing time of a couple of European based Yanks.

Last Tuesday Part 2

After going to the Sounders FC Bone Marrow drive, I had to head down to Starfire to get the paperwork for my team in the Beach Blast 3v3 tournament. In a surprise to all of us, the 3 Amigos showed up to welcome us and sign autographs.

The 3 Amigos, Alonso, Montero and Hurtado.

Getting my scarf signed by the 3 Amigos.

I happened to notice that Leo Gonzalez, the Sounders new Costa Rican left back was still hanging out at Starfire.

Obviously I had the guy sign my scarf. I ended up with 12 signatures in one day, and the realization that I really need to learn Spanish.

You Can Save A Life

Last Tuesday the Sounders held a bone marrow drive at the urging of Tyrone Marshall. The effort was to support RSL and Jamaican international, Andy Williams and his wife Marcia. She has been battling leukemia and this was Seattle's chance to help find a bone marrow donor for her. The first stop was checking in and getting paperwork.

Station 2 was filling out a lot of paperwork since you are on the donor list until you're 60 years old.

Zakuani and Riley filling out the donor applications.

After swabbing the inside of your mouth with some really long Q-tips, you moved on to station 4...autographs with the Sounders. The first hour and a half had Marshall, Le Toux, Vagenas, Graham and Jaqua.

Taylor Graham told me that halfway through the event new players were coming. So naturally I stuck around and came back at the midway point. On my way back in I ran into Steve Zakuani outside. We briefly chatted and went on in.

Since I had already completed the donor process I was able to head straight to the autograph table. I want to give a shout out to Marshall and Le Toux for sticking around the whole time. James Riley signing my scarf.

As Zach Scott signed my scarf, I told him about our buddy, Ty, and his, "I used to play with that guy. He's a good player" comments. We had a good laugh about it and we both realized that we had played against each other in a semi-pro indoor league.

Defender and California native, Tyson Wahl.

The first ever Superdraft pick for the Sounders, Steve Zakuani.

Summertime by Another Level

It's Monday and I see that the summer months are coming to an end. I'm a bit bummed about it, so I thought I would drop a summer song for ya. The group is Britain's Another Level, who went Platinum in the Nineties. It also features TQ. I used to bump to TQ's Westside back in the day, so this is kind of nostalgic. According to White Kix, one of the guys was a footballer in his early days. I will let him drop some knowledge in the comments section or I'll update the post when he tells me the story. So this goes out to White Kix...and I'm sorry Oh Danny Boy.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa

Cooper strikes again in loss.

Great start for KC33, to bad his 1860 Munich couldn't keep the momentum. Well, at least our Yank is doing well.
