http://www.bookedfordissent.com/ - Dave Lifton's thoughts and rants about soccer
OK, after much delay, a lot of time on the phone with the tech support divisions of two hosting companies, and many more gray hairs, everything is finally back to normal, both here and at Wings For Wheels .
Since it’s late, I’ll only say the following about the last two United games: The SuperLiga performances show how Dave Kasper failed to recognize the importance of depth in ...

I was covering the game from Guadalajara’s side, and I didn’t get audio from the United players about last night’s game. But you can read my take from the other side here . If you want the United perspective, Charlie brings the goods .

The domain transfer hasn’t fully gone through yet (I’ll call tech support as soon as I finish my coffee), but I saw this post by Luis and had to respond. He noted that, with Guzan leaving for England, Francisco Mendoza is the only player currently on Chivas USA’s roster who was there from the beginning, and put it out to his readers for the others.
This was what they came ...

My account with my host is expiring next week and, rather than renew it, I’m moving the site to a new host, so BFD might be down for a day or two while this takes place. There are no changes in store, not even a redesign. But the benefit to you is that this whole procedure has made me even more frazzled than I normally am.
The timing of this sucks because this has far and away been ...

On October 20, 1996, Chris Armas scored what
should have been the championship-clinching goal for the Los
Angeles Galaxy in MLS Cup. But DC United fought back, and in the 4th minute of overtime, Eddie Pope headed in the golden goal, right over the ...
Why the Hell Google AdSense is popping up with an offer for Red Bulls tickets on this site? Of course good seats are available at cheap prices. Nobody wants to see those clowns!

D calls me out again, this time for my Olsen - Rizzuto post below, which I think it was really his way of drawing attention to it. But it’s what reader ”Big C” wrote in the Comments that I have to respond to. He wrote:
…for other MLS fans throughout the country, it didn’t feel like the playing field was exactly level. I wasn’t aware of the intricacies of ...

I’m watching the Crew-Fire game on FSC right now. It looks like they’ve got a good crowd there because they’re having fireworks after the game. But it reminded me of a joke my buddy Chris Webb of Unitedmania told me a few weeks ago.
Q: How do you sell out Columbus Crew Stadium?
A: Add three more stages

Bill pointed me to this post on BigSoccer
from a Red Bulls fan. Ben Olsen is to
DCU what Babe Ruth is the the Yankees. While it’s great to see Olsen getting respect from a Red Bulls fan, the analogy betrays a lack of understanding of the ...
For those of you who can’t make it out to Germantown, I’ll be liveblogging tonight’s US Open Cup match between United’s reserves and the Spearmint Rhinos. So check back here before kickoff.

Further proof as to why the Galaxy needs to always suck. His take on yesterday’s game.
Prison rape is a very serious subject, and an ongoing blight on the American justice system. For generations our tacit acceptace of sexual assault by stronger prisoners on weaker ones has warped our sense of justice. It’s not a topic for amusement, it’s a source of shame. Unfortunately, ...

I didn’t say this on the Screaming Eagles
Podcast , because I wound up spending more time
talking about him than I usually do on an opponent. But there was a moment in his post-game press conference that told me a lot about him. Early on, he ...

Last night, Goff broke the news that Ben
Olsen could possibly be on the gameday roster today
against Los Angeles or in Tuesday’s Open Cup match against Rochester. Olsen declined to comment, and when even Olsen won’t speak about it, you ...
Since I’ll be at the United-Galaxy game on Sunday, I won’t be able to liveblog the Euro 2008 final. So I wanted to thank all of you who have come to BFD throughout the tournament for my commentary, giving me you comments and keeping me interested even when the games have been less than stellar (though there weren’t that many).
