Wednesday kickaround

We had snow flurries in Atlanta. I need to get to the store for bread, milk, and TP!

Snow Miser looks like Clinton.

I guess the good news is that if the power stays on we can all watch the big Villa-ManU game.

I thought it was "Freeze Miser" aka "Mr. Snow".

German Cup, 1PM, ESPN360.

Here's another TV link for the Aris match:

I know all you FSC having folks couldn't care less, but I did notice that Comcastsportsnet is scheduled to air the AC Milan/ Manchester United Champion's League match live and in HD next Tuesday!

Argy Bargy!

This global warming thing is going to freeze us all to death. Snow in winter? Who knew.

LostinPotomac, I'm still laughing. Well in.

Gotta get my 2 pm conference call done so I can catch the start of the Man U - Villa game. Ought to be a good one.

Wish you hadn't found the link. It's frustrating to watch. But watch I will...

I used to love playing soccer in the pouring rain and on muddy pitches. However, when it comes to watching such matches, not so much.

To all those who think MLS should play the same schedule as Euro teams do please look outside.

Heat Miser - great band! Where are our lyrics people when we need them?

I keep wishing that Setanta would just stream these games for free now that they're closing up shop in the States...one can hope, right?

OMG. Adu started today. End of the world, next.

Adu is out on the left, as is normal, but seems to be playing a defensive role. Odd, but he's had some nice touches and feeds to the attacking players. I haven't seen the opponents make a legitimate attack yet.

Oh good God! the moment I typed the preceding post, the opponent went and scored. Well, I never claimed to be clairvoyant.

Sorry, eadc, I don't know a thing about Heat Miser, so no lyrics from me today!

Johnson to the rescue! Who'd a thunk it?

(no, he didn't score; he's just entering the game)

EJ in.

where's the advantage?? Eddie would have scored!

Adu out.

That's one sorry looking pitch. Really ugly to watch, but not as bad as a pre-2010 RBNY match (well, we hope).

Some great quotes in here, such as investing in football is dumb, there should be a wage cap, etc...

I hate to say it, but that field might be a good candidate for FieldTurf.

45 days until United's first match.

Anybody have a red ball?

I'm sure the Chelsea scouts were duly impressed.

"While I toss another log onto the roaring fire"

Nice line. Treble entendre?

The Aris manager sure does a lot of stretching. It's that, or he can't stop throwing up his arms in disgust. EJ showing signs of life, but seems to always find himself offside. Given the crap conditions and small crowd, I wonder if EJ is missing the MLS.

The wind blowing the snow outside looks almost like billowing surf.

Charlie Davis has an impressively long scar along that arm. I wonder if he'll be able to take some wicked corkscrewing throw-ins when he's finished with rehab.

Aris scores w/ 20 seconds left to tie it.

Did EJ set that up w/the header off the post?

Aris' star right back, Brazilian Darcy D. Neto, puts the ball in the net to salvage a 1-1 draw for his relegation fodder of a side on a play begun with a free kick. Shame EJ wasn't in on that one. A few MLS clubs could use Neto's talent.

Neto finds the net at 94 minutes.

Joe Doc:

It was Elliot Smith's band before he went solo, but Neil Gust shared the songwriting duties. Like Uncle Tupelo before Wilco / Son Volt, if you will.

Mic City Sons is a good start.

Oh, right, soccer...sorry. Any word from DC United or USMNT training?

Didn't get to catch the stream, but my coworker who watched it said that Freddy looked pretty good. Held the ball up well and actually managed to track back on defense and hold up play. He's normally very critical of Adu, so I'll take his word on it.

Missed the stream, any one wanna give me a little post-game comments?

Nice link Stevo. I'm guessing that was an illegal stream, but thanks anyway. Johnson didnt look too bad in the last 20min.

Should have a high in the mid-70's here in So-Cal this weekend.

FSC HD is alive !!!! It's on Dish Network now. Ya digg?!?

OMG. Adu started today. End of the world, next.

For those of us in DC right now, that seems like less of a joke and more of a weather forecast.

Donovan corner kick to Saha for a goal.

Donovan draws penalty, Saha's attempt saved.
