I don't know if you've been following the MLS Cup but personally, I'm glad to see the so-called 'Cinderella' team, Real Salt Lake making it to the final. Not least because two of their players have pulled on Aztex jerseys this season and done very well for us. On that note, here is THAT goal again! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xpAuGXWIeI We have also supported RSL player Andy Williams in a bone marrow drive - his wife Marcia has a rare form of leukemia. There will no doubt be international interest in the game due to the presence of a certain Galaxy player who was probably glad to miss England's 1-0 defeat to Brazil in Doha. Not digging the haircut by the way.
Catch the game on Sunday November 22nd, 8.30 pm. http://web.mlsnet.com/mls/events/mls_cup/2009/

Phil and Adrian are currently in Colombia - more on that when they return - and they will then travel to Tampa for the USL AGM starting on Thursday. As well as the new owners of the league and USL team delegates, strategic partner Beswicks Sports, a leading European sports management and law firm, is leading a diversified group of foreign organizations who are interested in US soccer. Representatives from Burnley FC, Sheffield Wednesday, Bolton Wanderers and Fulham FC. The diverse group of attendees will also include a Portuguese agent, Tony Araujo and Mexican entrepreneurs Rodrigo Suarez and Eduardo Salamonovitz who are representing a group of Mexican investors who are interested in launching a club with United Soccer Leagues. I'm looking forward to a lively and interesting conference!
