Robert Green saves the Hammers again. Too bad for England, McLaren didn't give him a chance to save them.

I wouldn't exactly call West Ham a charmed team this year with all their recurring injuries (Faubert, Parker, Dyer, Ljundberg, Ashton, Bellamy).

They also apparently liked to shake and stir to the musical stylings of Sting and Bryan Adams, but not at the same time.

But it's yet to be known how they felt about Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting. ALL FOR ONE AND ALL FOR LOVE!

Well, he may not have the physique of Ron Jeremy, but both Hirshey & RJ are circumsized.

They're Jews, no?

Jose managing England? This is just like that time in high school were I realized I hated Kelly Veritas so much only because I so wanted to fuck her.

Oh, and good too see that the England loss coupled with the RvP injury wasn't the death of Hirshey.

@Botswana Meat Commission FC: Yeah, Barca/Rangers tomorrow (...what?) and Chelski/Schalke on Wednesday. I have no idea what they're playing on delay on ESPN Classic. But I think their idea is to get Americans to pay $10/game for online pay-per-view. As long as there are Chinese streams available, we'll see how that goes.

@Botswana Meat Commission FC: True on FSC - but you figured some producer, techie, etc. might have been like...hey...that's Taylor Twellman. Oh well.

I don't see the WWL reshowing CL games in primetime - even though it might draw solid ratings. Still - it appears their coverage has gotten a little better over the last few years.

Btw, I believe we're getting some champions league on espn2 this week. woo.

The first U.S. network to seriously get into showing the Champions League is going to make a shitload of money in the next few years. ESPN only sporadically seems interested and won't commit to replaying matches during primetime. Is there no end to their jackassery?

@The Gentleman Masher:
I don't think there's much of a link between Fox Sports and FSC. FSC is pretty much just a repackaged version of Sky Sports, as far as I can tell.

Go on Chels! Alex's goal this weekend was a screamer. Credit to Didier for playing hard this weekend, and putting the controversy of the midweek behind him.

Hirshey, mark your calendar for December 16. We will see who is "piss poor" then.

Random soccer note...but did anyone catch the close up crowd shot of Taylor Twellman (the NE Revolution striker) during Game 7 of the ALCS?

The fact that one of MLS' best players and a regular USNT player gets on TV, and no one from Fox Sports (they of the Fox Soccer Channel) picked up on who it was pretty much a microchosm of that league's place in our sports conscious.
