And while we're at it

Can we play major futbol events in stadiums that actually have grass fields? I watched the USA v Canada game from Detroit and the pitch was ridiculous! The ball was bouncing all over the place, the turf was coming up in gobs, and some of the grass was brown! Putting sod on top of artificial turf is just wrong. International matches featuring the best players from their countries deserve to be played on a good pitch. I'm sorry if the folks in New England, New York, and Dallas have turf fields, too bad. If you wanted to host big futbol matches you should have put in a grass field. Arizona managed. FIFA (as if it didn't have enough problems) needs to step in and mandate true grass fields for international play. There are plenty of good stadiums with grass fields in the US to cover even the biggest of competitions and we will travel to them. Screw the Dallas Palace, Jerry Jones could have put a grass field in there. If they can do it in Green Bay, WI and Phoenix, AZ they can do it anywhere. Nuff said.

The latest MLS rant

Sporting KC (really!) has a new stadium. They have the worst attendance in the league and have 1 title. DC United has great support (although the Cascadia teams are putting everyone else to shame) and 4 titles (plus 4 Supporter's Shields) and is still playing in decrepit RFK. Seriously? This is the flagship franchise for MLS even though they would like the LA Galaxy or NY Red Bull to be. Lets see between LA and NY they have 2 titles and 3 Supporter's Shields (all LA). The League needs to step in and help get a DC United stadium on track. I feel like DC United is the red headed step child of MLS. United has more trophies than anybody in MLS. It's not all about NYC and LA. Show us some love!

Off topic - the new math

The Big 12 has 10 teams, The Big 10 has 12 teams. WTF? This mathematically challenged arrangement should be an embarrassment to these schools of "higher education."

Mark Hughes leaves Fulham

Really? You want to "further your experiences"? Fulham finished 8th in the Prem, unless Harry bows out at Tottenham where are you going to go? What, did the Michael Jackson statue freak you out? Maybe Motherwell or Hibs are looking for a manager in the SPL, after the Prem that would further your experiences. Good luck with that.

Blah Blah Blah

Barca won the Champions League, ManU won the Prem, Man City won the FA Cup, FIFA is totally corrupt, big money wins all. Rich people are ruining footy. What's a fan to do? I root for Liverpool so I'm hoping we cash in. Go Reds!
