this has spiraled away from its original purpose, like my life

This blog will slowly become more about the regular club football, with sporatic updates about national squads in friendlies and lineups.

John Terry is fucking England captain. Do you know how good that sounds? I don't really mind Steven Gerrard, but I don't think he can be impartial. John Terry is world class, let's not fuck around.

I have been watching a lot of rugby. That might slow the soccer updates.

Chelsea aren't off to a good start, I think. I thought the whole MLS thing would turn out better than it did.

Ajax.... I don't know how they're doing. I think it's only pretty average, though.

Bayern Munich.... I was told they were poised to take another trophy in the Bundesliga. I hope this is true.

Werder Bremen... they got Per Mertesaker. Too bad I think he's currently injured. Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

I don't know much about ManU or Arsenal, but ManU looked strong in the Amersterdam tournament, aside from that whole Rooney/red card thing. I think the World Cup has unfairly labeled him as a troublemaker. Know thy enemies.

good news for England, who need some

OH YES THERE IS A GOD!

England names John Terry as Captain. (Steven Gerrard = vice-captain)

I would have preferred Frank Lampard as vice-captain, just like it is at Chelsea, but he didn't have a spectacular World Cup towards the end and I understand.

football PWNS me

Ajax finished dead last in the Amsterdam Tournament. But Wesley Sneijder looked good, scoring the equalizing goal against Inter.

Johnny Heitinga, for as much as I love him (and I do), could have been a little more cautious and made his goal against ManU count. Because it was beautiful.

Also, MLS beats Premireship champions Chelsea FC. You could see how pissed off they all were. I can't imagine what abuse they're going to suffer at the hands of Jose. I was originally rooting for the MLS, because I didn't want US soccer to embarass itself, but they turned around and won. I was happy at first, but now it will just make Chelsea look bad. People won't think MORE of MLS, they'll just think LESS of Chelsea. Fuck. Lose lose.

But my favorite players are still getting into compromising positions, and ESPN showed a lot of John Terry during the game coverage. I would have liked a little more Frank Lampard, but we can't always get what we want.
