We are back from the USL meetings in Tampa - it was interesting to say the least. It's difficult for me, being on the inside but knowing how much all the fans of the various teams want to know what is going on. I have no intention of adding to the rumours and speculation and will wait until there is something tangible before committing it to print.
It was also an interesting weekend for soccer in general - the MLS Cup was won by the 'underdogs' Real Salt Lake. Despite the presence of Beckham and Donovan (who blasted his penalty kick over the bar) it was Beckerman and his team mates who played with more heart and determination. It was reported that the game was being shown in 123 different countries - great news for the game here in the USA.
Those of you who had Defoe in your Fantasy League team had a stellar weekend - 5 goals in one game in an English Premiership game - quite an achievement. Defoe ties with Andy Cole who scored 5 playing for Manchester United in a 9-0 victory over Luton Town in 1995. That's not the record though - Arsenal's Ted Drake scored all seven goals in a 7-1 win over Aston Villa in 1937. The record for most goals scored in the English FA Cup goes to Ted McDougall - he scored nine goals in an 11-0 win over Margate in 1971.
Alex Tapp and I attended a career fair at Galindo Elementary School this morning. The kids asked some great questions but were most fascinated to hear about the ice baths the players take after training. It was one of those 'don't try this at home kids' moments!
Look out for the Colombia story on the website soon.
