Encouraged even.

Which reminds me, Euro 2008 is slated for ESPN and ESPN2 and WILL be in HD.

The US National team can use the practice against decent competition.

well I for one am very happy - another well deserved title - no one can argue that we didn;t play the most attractive football over the course of the year

10 titles in 16 seasons is an astonishing achievement for SAF

another important number

17…..total number of league championships we have now won…..one more and Liverscum lose yet another one of their fading pretensions to greatness

As evidenced by being up 0-1 and still keeping the foot on the pedal to get that second goal. Chelski would never have done that, and that's how you draw 1-1. Good for Ryan Giggs too - his contributions were very under the radar this year with the attention going to the three kids up front.

John Terry got hurt? Didn't even notice….

What I did notice is that the Champions League final appeared in my guide over the weekend as being in HD. Sweet.

Amazing huh? Brian McBride's contributions will never be recognized as they should, but his return saved that season for Fulham. 5 straight wins, 3 on the road!
