A few things...

My next Top 5, which reveals my MLS Cup favorites as of now, will be ready by tomorrow afternoon...

#1 - I just got off the phone from discussing several topics with Sochaux forward Charlie Davies and I'm about to type that up for S365. I'll come back to add the link here when it's posted.

UPDATE: Here 'tis.

Here is my regular weekend roundup of Americans Abroad, and we also have a video report from ESPN...




#2 - ESPN's The Sports Guy with an instant classic on traveling to Azteca for the Mexico game last Wednesday. Bravo, sir.

#3 - This weekend, I caught a quick word with Napoli reserve forward Vincenzo Bernardo, who is itching to learn his loan destination.

#4 - S365 colleague Andrew Discenza returns with his weekly Prem wrap column.

In case you were busy, ESPN provides a little studio rundown...




#5 - In case you missed it, wantaway Millwall defender Zak Whitbread is out two months for hip surgery. Well, that was poorly timed.

#6 - Finally, it's the always amusing "2 Good, 2 Bad" from Match of the Day Two...

Thanks for the Davies interview! And I thought the Bill Simmons article was a very good read.

Matt said...

Totally off-topic: have you heard anything about Kamani Hill so far this season?

Denny said...

Also off topic: Any news on the Neven Subotic rumors?

@ Matt: Kamani is currently battling a hamstring knock, but hopefully will be ready to roll soon.

@ Denny: To Arsenal, you mean? I was told the rumour is bunk. I highly doubt Neven goes anywhere this window.

Not so fast, my friend. You can't judge every transfer book by an unsubstantiated Portuguese cover story. :D

It's like you're everywhere...

So, chances that one of your 4? dutch clubs are "complicating matters"?

Thanks, btw.
