just like to add that Jonathan Spector played 78 minutes for Birmingham City F.C. against Chelsea in a 1 all draw @ Stamford Bridge. That is a pretty big result for the Brummies.

He is an optimist and a hard worker but reading this makes you realize he also is a long way from returning to the field. No timetable has yet been given but the article implies it will at least be another 6 months before he starts playing again for Bolton. -------------------- http://twitter.com/#!/SocrFutbolForum

Anyway the US could use a free kick threat so nice to see Dempsey scoring from one.

Would love to see him, LD, and maybe Josy just go offensively crazy in qualifiers.... -------------------- Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum

It will be interesting to see if he can stick in Europe or whether he comes home to MLS. -------------------- Equinus Halitosis and Hoop MLS Cups: 0 Dynamo MLS Cups: 2 The world order is now restored.

Aston Villa's new coach Paul Lambert wants to keep Guzan and thus he just signed a new contract with the club. He'll still have to compete with Shay Given for playing time though.

Leeds of the 2nd divsion have loaned Robbie Rogers to league One (3rd Div.) Stevenage. Who by the way are coached by forner Colorado coach Gary Smith (the guy who coached them to their only league title.) Rogers seems to be drifting away, a year ago he was on the national team, now he is playing 3rd division football.

Curiously both Edu and Geoff Cameron, who played togetehr at centerback for the US against Mexico 10 days ago will now be teammates at Stoke! Lichaj came off the bench and played the last 30 minutes or so as Aston Villa lost 3-1 to Everton. Dempsey, however, still has not played for Fulham as he pushes for his transfer away from there. He has 6 days to do so. -------------------- http://twitter.com/#!/SocrFutbolForum

I was watching Forest get smashed by Wigan today in the League Cup & couldn't help but wonder why I didn't see him anywhere near the pitch. -------------------- Supporter for FCK, San Lorenzo, Chelsea, Pachuca, Corinthians & Real Betis
