Let's Talk About Football!

Gordon Strachan after Celtic beat AC Milan in the CL (the Dida incident game). Can you blame him for just wanting to talk about the game?

LA, Lalas, & LannyCakes

SF over at he The Offisde Rules has fun today mocking the Los Angeles Galaxy for strutting their stuff as though they were some super club. I love it. It's as though Lalas and the rest of the folks at AEG think they've turned the Los Angeles Galaxy into the new New York Cosmos. They got Beckahm and now Ruud Gullit so.....just a few more years of this and they'll be a mega club like Manchester United or AC Milan, right?

Bah! They'd be lucky if they're rivaling Padova in stature right now. I hope their 2008 season is as uninspiring as they were in 2007.

Another Kaka

Props to Who Ate All The Pies on catching this one. It looks like Kaka's not-so little brother Digao will be playing with AC Milan this year. Milan signed the 6' 4" defender in 2005 but loaned him out to gain more experience. It's the only brother-brother combination on big teams in Europe that I know of with the Argentine Milito brothers having parted ways. Diego and Gabri were both employed at Real Zaragoza. But defender Gabriel's recent €20.5 million move to Barcelona has broken up that duo. Am I overlooking anyone? Are there any other brothers playing together on the same team?
