I've lifted the F-bomb ban on Cut of the Day because it's Friday and I wanna...#1 - In the aftermath of last night's Real Salt Lake upset of the champs, James Edward pops the surprise cork and Shawn Mitchell does the Crew autopsy.
#2 - After another loss to Benfica at home last night, Everton keeper Tim Howard knows his side is in a real scrap for the Europa League knockouts.
#3 - For those who noticed my obvious brainus interruptus in the MLS Top 5 List at S365 yesterday, I've fixed the problem.
Ya know how sometimes you just get your mind set that it's Wednesday when it's really Thursday and you don't catch on too quick and just roll along on the Thursday plan? I'm gonna claim this flub was like that. Stupid brain.
Also, my teased feature with a U.S. player I'd never interviewed before is going to be held until Monday unless I can finally get a quick word with his club coach in the next hour or two. He normally responds right away, but hasn't yet in this instance.
#4 - NSC pal Jared Montz continues his excellent podcast series by talking with Chivas USA vet Jesse Marsch ahead of their crunch playoff derby decider with Los Angeles.
#5 - K.C. Wizard Jimmy Conrad and Chicago's Logan Pause share the MLS/USSF Humanitarian of the Year award. Let's give it up for these stand up guys.
#6 - Houston Chronicle ace Bernardo Fallas looks at the Dynamo impact made by Geoff Cameron & Stuart Holden.
#7 - The Daily Herald's Orrin Scwarz reports that the Chicago Fire still have plenty of fight left in them.
#8 - Over in Spain, La Liga is getting ready to do away with their own "Beckham Rule". By the name alone, you can tell it has to do with money.
Seems to me this decision could make things difficult over the next couple transfer windows for most teams in that division not named Barcelona or Real Madrid.
#9 - The Seattle Times runs some numbers on the Sounders' expansion campaign.
#10 - Find yourself wondering about the state of USL? Well, the honchos have issued a press release to tell you what's goin' on.
#11 - If you dare, go check out the last NCAA women's defender you should ever want to face on the field... or in a dark alley... or in, say, a thunderdome. This was sent in by an NSC reader, and sweet Moses, she's gonna give me nightmares.
#12 - Finally, the ESPN crew surveys the MLS playoff road ahead with the champs out of the way...

Hmm...Mike Cameron? I see you decided that Geoff Cameron and Mike Chabala make a good team ;)
Ha! Good catch. I think my brain is broken.
That NM chick is insane... how did she not get sent off?
jake and erin:
even more scary is that she didnt get a yellow card until almost the end of the game after all those other transgressions had occurred.
Forget yellow card... why wasn't she *indicted* before halftime? :D
Slightly off topic, but is anyone planning on going to South Africa for 2010?
I'm just starting to plan our trip and was curious what/how are others are handling it.
Do you have tickets for airfare/matches/rental car stuff yet? Looks like I am going to have to book a "safari" pretty soon before they fill up.
