CD 9 scores 2 goals in MLS return debut

I'm not saying we going to win the MLS Cup next year, but at least we have someone scoring goals.

A Perfect Sunday

I am an American Liverpool fan. I have no real ties to this team. No family from Merseyside, nor have i had the chance to go see jolly old England yet. But i can honestly say since seeing them play in the champions league final in 2005 I didn't have a doubt in my mind that they would be my team. I had dabbled off and on into soccer previously. Only really a passing interest that would wax and wane with the coming World Cups. I had even caught glimpses of my future team on television before though not taking the time to appreciate the subtleties. In 2005 on that night in Istanbul i saw the grit and determination that i would want any team in any sport to play with. A fire was lit inside me that day one that gives me clarity and focus in the matters of European sport. Despite "sexier" teams building squads thru powerful pocketbooks and established farm systems, I will not waver in my belief that Liverpool Football Club is the one that best represents me and what i stand for. Not just on the field but in the stands and in the ideals that all Liverpool fans hold dear. It is not a closed off elitist view of the world or some made up nike slogan about the beautiful game. It is a genuine warmth and unity throughout the whole community of fans. "You'll Never Walk Alone" is not just the anthem it's the basis for something greater, something to build on everyday.

It is always hard to wake up at 7:30am. The only thing that eases a blow like that is to know that i am waking up for a chance to see my team play against their greatest rival. This is the Sunday that Liverpool face Manure and Sir Alex Turdeson. This is always an important match but this Sunday's of particular importance being that the Reds have a chance to hurt manure's shot at the title. And more importantly in my eyes winning a fight in the larger battle of good vs. evil and the many impacts it could have on our souls and as human beings. I will not be giving a recap of the match or going over the highlights( I would hope that any interested parties have already seen the necessary footage or hopefully the entire match). But i will say that no matter what the weather may have been in reality it was 75f and sunny until about midnight that evening. The kind of beating Liverpool put on the scumlords was one that should be passed on and told for generations to come. With no lack of stars pitting their wits against one another, it was the consummate unsung hero who's name was sung the loudest. Dirk Kuyt I thank you personally for making my Sunday, my weekend, my week about as spectacular as it could possibly be(aside from money falling and hitting me in the face).

oh yeah and

Cmon Fergie big girls don't cry.

So after a very physical and well contested match between the two most recent English title holders Sir Alex Ferguson had his axe out again to chop off the head of another match official he disagreed with. Though few can dispute David Luiz was fortunate not to be handed a second card, but you could also argue that Manchester captain Vidic been sent off much sooner than he did.
