Here are a few thoughts as we head into the weekend:
- It was finally made official today, the Cascadia MLS clubs (Seattle, Vancouver and Portland) will play each other in a preseason round robin format during a supporters "summit" March 4-6. Some are disappointed that the first time these sides meet as MLS combatants will not essentially count for anything. Some are disappointed about the relatively low amount of tickets available to fans not apart of supporters' groups. However, overall most are just READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL. I'm very excited just to see the Sounders back on the pitch. It's been a solid offseason for the club and I look forward to seeing the likes of Erik Freiburg and Michael Tetteh join the rest of the boys as soon as possible.
- Why are people getting impatient with the Luis Suarez/Liverpool dance going on right now? Obviously it would be a great addition to Anfield, but I have but one word to my fellow Reds' supporters on the new management's transfer tactics- PATIENCE. John Henry will get this right...soooner than you think. YNWA
- I really like the fact that the Browns hired Dick Jauron today as their new defensive coordinator. He's got legit pedigree as a defensive stud of a coach. Holmgren continues to restore pride amongst the Cleveland football faithful.
- Just as I was typing a blurb about how I feel like the Gareth Bale hype may have gotten ahead of itself this past fall- the Welsh international fires a cross into the box to Rafael Van Der Vaart on the Spurs-United replay on FSC that is sublime. Utterly sublime. Nevermind that thought.
- If you have a sense of humor, are a soccer fan and aren't listening to Winning Ugly- you are WRONG. I have no connection to this wonderment of soccer-based humor podcast whatsoever, but it's awesome. Check it out if you haven't already.
And with that- have a great weekend.
