The women have faded after failing to win the last WC and all the old stars from '99 Cup retiring. There was a big hubbub when Mia Hamm retired, but that may also have been a type of death knell (back to the dark ages again).

Anyone see the shot from the Chelsea bench when they were obviously trying desperately to hide some kind of receiver? I guess he was just listening to BBC radio hey.

Is Forssell still playing in Chelsea? He was supposed to be a big stars, hyped in TV on all channels back when I had one.

Yeah, he's a great player.

Last season he spent on loan at Birmingham and scored 20 or so goals for them - was their best player by miles. They could really have used him this season, he was supposed to be on loan to them again this year but he got an injury early in the season and has been out most of the year. Yesterday was his first game back. Great player and still young. He's got a great eye for goal. Two really good feet and he's really skillful, had to make a lot of his own goals playing for Birmingham.

I'm a big fan, and obviously so are the other Chelsea fans. He had his name sung several times in the first half when he was on the bench and when he was stripped and ready to come on he had to wait 5 minutes or so to get on as a sub and the crowd were going crazy singing his name.

Mourinho's apparently been really impressed with him during his recovery.

I remember laughing at that bit of play acting the time, he was attempting to disguise the blatent hand ball by feigning that the ball had hit him in the chest and nearly killed him.

0/10 fooled no one! (least of all the ref who sent him off and awarded a pen)

It was a shame Bowyer overshadowed that, otherwise one of the funniest football things ever. But Bowyer fighting Dyer was funnier.

It's a good week for the Dutch teams in Europe. First PSV played 1-1 in Lyon and today AZ won 1-2 in Villareal.

Don't say that!! Now you jinxed it for next week

AZ played a great match tonight, very entertaining and a brilliant result. Goalie Timmer really ought to be man of the match...

I also saw the CSKA - Auxerre match on Eurosport earlier this evening, that was most entertaining as well. I saw both teams play earlier this season and they were horrible, but today they both played great, attacking football. Auxerre deserved better than to get their arses kicked 4-0 (though Moscow did create more chances)...

Yay! Newcastle beat Sporting 1-0!

Shearer with the goal! Though the funny thing was Dyer started the game and was subbed midway through the second half. His replacement? That's right, Lee Bowyer .

Who did they cheer? That can go both ways.

They seemingly cheered Bowyer.

Soccernet said:

quote: He was to be joined within six minutes by the injured Dyer who, perhaps inevitably, was replaced by Saturday's nemesis Bowyer, and the newcomer was, remarkably, given a warm welcome as he embraced his team-mate and ran on to the pitch.

The funny part is that Bowyer picked up a yellow card not soon after!

mls is crap, the soccer is so horribly painful. the US womens team will be good again in two years when the young stars start to develop.

When's the last time you saw it, LoA? The MLS has improved dramatically and, I'd say, are probably as good as the Mexican league. 10 years makes a load of difference.
