Our boy Clint Dempsey…
By: timmyg |Well, looks like Harkes and I should probably shut our mouths after all.
I was just concerned while he was downright upset that Clint’s performance for the Yanks was a little lacking. Yet according to FIFA’s Castrol Index, he’s the second best midfielder behind Kaka.

Europa League begins, sorta…
By: timmyg |The first and second round draw for the inaugural Europa League was held today, and although it has little effect to who we will actually play, it may help decide who we may play.

By: timmyg |…of sorts as all but Wayne Brown are/should be? back at SW6.
