How Flair Is Punished!

I like to picture the entire WNT getting completely hammered and spending the whole night drunk dialing Greg Ryan.

I suppose I should feel some sense of joy that the Galaxy were humiliated, but I actually felt sorry for them.

I guess the problem wasn’t just Abel Xavier del Bac.

FOLLOWING IS A DETAILED DISCUSSION OF WHAT THE FRIEDEL TO VILLA TRANSFER MEANS TO ME AND, INDEED, IMPLIES FOR THE WHOLE OF THE 2008-2009 BLACKBURN ROVERS CAMPAIGN

Our local soccer community in the Old Pueblo were proud that our Arizona Rush missed out on the playoffs by a single goal. This was the first season for Tucson’s WPSL squad.

As is turned out, Oklahoma Alliance FC, who qualified for the tournament, can’t afford to attend the playoffs. Don’t you love semi-pro soccer?

Coach Chris Fernandez had to call members of the team last night to tell them to be ready to drive to Salt Lake City (Yes, drive. Again, don’t you love semi-pro soccer?) to face the Utah Spiders this weekend.

Here’s to hoping the Rush represents us Baja Arizonans well.

NB - The Rush’s coaching staff includes two former Tucson Amigos, Fernandez and Sean Ochoa.

This was posted by a fellow named Victor from Los Angeles in regard to a story about Abel Xavier del Bac’s trashing of his now former coach, Ruud Gullit.

i think abel is a good player a lil slow for mls but he has loads of talent where he could be good for young defenders to learn from , i hope he decides to stay on in the US maybe USL.

I don’t know which news I found odder: the news that a naked man who tried to open an emergency exit on a plane was subdued by members of the New England Revolution, or the later clairification that it wasn’t players, but instead it was Mike Burns and Craig Tornberg.

Look, I know I’m still kinda woozy from painkillers after an injury this week, but: RSL top of the West?  That can’t be right…
