So I have put off writing my blog for a long time because, didn't really feel like I had enough time, or energy, and that may still be true, but I will at least try and get 1 post a week up, maybe Sunday night after the week of action.
I will talk about any soccer anyone wants to bring up, but will most likely focus on US national team, EPL, La Liga, and a little MLS as I try to get inolved in our domestic league, and help support it.
I also might do a fantasy soccer article so I can help out all my friends who seem to need some help competing with me. (Atleti looking at you)
Edit
So to give my blog a little substance and hopefully get a conversation going, lets talk about two recent transfers that I think are awesome.
Yakubu to Everton
To me this is an awesome signing for Everton. Only Theiry Henry has been more prolific in the same time span since about 2002 I believe in the EPL. This helps add depth to Everton's frontline, gives them to excellent forwards who I feel will compliment each other. This depth will no doubt help them compete in the UEFA Cup, and FA cup as well as the EPL. I think this gives them a great option to maybe win the FA Cup, but I don't see them winning the UEFA Cup, mainly due to Bayern's presence, along with some very strong Spanish sides.
The other signing that got me very excited was Denilson joing FC Dallas. I am actually more excited for this signing than I am for Beckham. Denilson has had an interesting career, he showed great promise in the 98 World Cup, and was bought by Real Betis by a then record 37 million. He never quite lived up to his price tag, and eventually found his way at Bordeaux. He did ok at Bordeaux, but they weren't able to pay his hefty wage, so he moved on to Saudi Arabia.
In Denilson FC Dallas gets a play capable of some dazzling one on one moves, which is something the MLS sorely lacks, along with some Brazilian flair. He has somewhat of a reputation as a ball hog, but I really don't think that is a bad thing right now for the MLS.
I am very excited for September 15th, when FC Dallas heads to New England. What a week that will be the 12th I get to watch Brasil vs Mexico, a few days later see how Denilson is in the US!
