You know it's a slow news day in Italy when they run stories about MLS in their transfer threads. Mediaset is reporting that Abel Xavier is ready to leave the LA Galaxy. He has apaprently said that it's due to differences of opinion with Ruud Gullit, who according to him is not very popular with the players. (of note: the Galaxy have scored something like 34 goals but have also conceded 31. very leaky defense).

Benfica have loaned Freddy Adu to OM with an option to buy.

They're also supposedly asking Racing about the services of Ebi Smolarek.

Smolarek is quality from what I've seen of him, could be a great buy.

so the north america is having a CL league next year.

canada will have 1 team enter and well the impact beat out toronto FC (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

it's fun cuz i found some highlights of the first league which toronto won (although montreal outplayed them) and they were playing "na na na na goodbye" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) so it feels great now that those Tw@ts have to eat crow.

btw toronto missed a sitter in the 89th, a real patthetic miss.

So the MLS All-Star game is on. It's the All Stars vs. West Ham. At the half, it's All Stars 2 - 1 West Ham.

Ashton got the Hammers goal and Blanco and ...I'm not sure who...got the goals for the All Stars. It's been rather entertaining so far.

The All-Stars do quite well. I remember they beat Celtic 2-0 last season, quite a comfortable win too.

FT MLS 3 - 2 West Ham. Ashton with both Hammers goals and De Rosaria with the third MLS goal. Decent enough game.

(For Kurt: Angel played the second half and had two good shots on goal).

Yeah, I was surprised to see him come on. He's not been so prolific this year so I didn't even realise he'd been picked in the squad. Good to see him come on though!

EDIT: Did he have a disallowed goal too? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

He's had all sorts of injuries this year, as I understand it. New York are really struggling. Angel's slowly getting back into form, though. Good couple of goals in the last few games.

So, it looks like Rui Costa and new coach Quique Sanchez Flores are really shaking things up with Benfica. A bunch of new players have been brought in, including Javier Balboa, Jose Antonio Reyes, and Pablo Aimar.

Looks like they're really aiming to give Porto a run for their money this year.

Watching Lyon vs Tolouse. Lyon 3-0 up with 20 minutes to, Benzema has 2, they are so much better than everyone in that league! I just read that they have won the last 7 titles in a row, and these are the only 7 titles they've ever won. I did not know that.

I'm watching it too. Lloris is having a very good debut too, right?

You didn't know Lyon was a zero till 2001? Hmhm,..Sonny Anderson was their first big star. They were lucky to become the French No.1 team, cause in that time Marseille still had financial issuses and lost of reputation (remember the last big Marseille generation with Ravanelli, Gallas, Dalmat, Bakayoko, etc.), while Bordeaux, Monaco and PSG went through a crisis.

I'm not particulary happy about Lyon. I like all the other big teams more. PSG and Marseille the most...I hope at least one of those teams will have the strenght to stand up against Lyon and break the spell.

As a kid I used to love O Marseille ... The way they say it in slang, it sounded so cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
