Soccer soccer soccer!!!

I know... where have I been right?  Truth be told at work we've been working on the new Nashville Convention Center (shameless plug, yes I know), so I have been quite busy.  Oh, and there was that whole World Cup thing that proved to be the ultimate time suck for me.

I assume you all at home watched the World Cup and also got swept up into the US soccer mania.  It was great while it lasted, right?  Time to move on to American sports, right?

WRONG.

From now on, at least once a week, you will be getting a fill of soccer links including what games to watch throughout the week.  We have a lot to get to, so strap on your Sambas and lets go...

Congrats to Spain and all, for winning their very first World Cup.

After a bunch of hullabaloo about how Cesc Fabregas wants to play for Barcelona, it looks like he's staying put. Much to the chagrin of some of his Spain teammates.

Thierry Henry made quite a splash in his debut for Red Bull NY, scoring in his first appearance. 

Danny Mwanga is an animal.  There is speculation as to whether or not he will represent US or not.  If he plays for Congo I will certainly respect his decision, but it will be a swift bludgeon to the nuts.

DC United have a gem in Honduran-American Andy Najar, and are not willing to share with Europe.

Bob Bradley will continue to be the coach for the USMNT at least for the friendly against Brazil on August 10.

David Beckham may be returning to the LA Galaxy as soon as August.

Liverpool officially begins its 2010-11 campaign with a win over Rabotnicki in Europa League.

Landon Donovan will not be dealt to an EPL-based team as he is considered "too important" for MLS.

There is still a possibility that Landon could play overseas this year.  Stay tuned for more on this...

Big signing for the Seattle Sounders in getting 24-year old Uruguayan midfielder Álvaro Fernández.

NY Cosmos possibly coming back?????

Cristiano Ronaldo was mistaken for Jersey Shore's "The Situation"
