Comments - For The Record

Sorry that I had to turn on the moderating comments feature awhile back. It means that comments aren't immediately posted. But I needed to do it help filter out the spam.

BBC On Beckham

You have to let a couple minutes of news go by but the BBC has a nice look at David Beckham's move to Major League Soccer (MLS).

USA - Ecuador Commentary

It's too bad that Mostly Blue and White World doesn't blog more on soccer. Some interesting comments by Appoo on the match. As for me I'd sum it up in that once again Lannycakes steps it up a notch but not in a key match.

Rapids In Valencia

As part of their pre-season training the Colorado Rapids went to Valencia, Spain. Their young defender Stephen Keel has been blogging about their trip. It's been the usual stuff, talking about taking in a game, things about home that he misses and such. What I'd like to know is how the training differs with a trip like this. Were they exposed to some new methods? Will it help the team to not have trained at altitude? But I suppose those are the sort of things the team doesn't want to put out there with the start of the season around the corner.

Woodgate Injured Again

Sky is reporting that Woodgate won't be available for the upcoming Israel match due to a knee injury. I was curious how things were going for him in terms of injuries. He's definitely had some injury problems. His loan with Middlesbrough's brought some better luck on that front with 23 appearances so far this year. But previous to that in his 2 years at Real Madrid he only got in 9 league appearances. Before that his year and half he spent at Newcastle he got in 28 games. It doesn't look like it's time to start calling him Sick Note II.... at least not yet.
