We saw Jonathan Spector's potential this summer and now he's bringing that well-reinforced confidence back to West Ham United. The fullback unleashed a long range shot that found net in a 2-1 friendly win over Norwich City.
Speaking of West Ham United - anyone catch this partnership between the Hammers and the whole of the United Soccer Leagues? Read up on it. One of the highlights is taking 20 or so handpicked Super-Y and Super-20 Leaguers and taking them to West Ham Academy to be trained, assessed, criticized, and then shipped back home better soccer players.
David Beckham's possible MLS debut against Toronto FC - as first seen on the blogosphere at MLSUnderground - will be aired by ESPN2 on Sunday, August 5th, at 7:30pm. Hopefully he plays and hopefully this starts a trend of kicking re-run poker shows off-the-air or at least ESPN Ocho.
Manchester City have raided former Fulham skipper Chris Coleman's new club, Real Sociedad for defender Javi Garrido for a rumoured $4 million or so. At the other end of the pitch, Bulgarian forward and former Fiorentina favorite Valeri Bojinov could be on his way to Manchester as well. Fiorentina made the crappy move of sending the still young striker to Juventus on loan last season and, despite their Serie B status, Bojinov didn't play too much. The deal could be worth as much as $11.5 million. Former Thai Prime Minister and bad boy on the run Shinawatra seems to be giving Manchester City the financial flexibility they always needed.

hmmm, i know the feeling - i think way to much about football betting... rather costly thing to think too much about, however it certainly paid off the other day when the hammers did united 2-1 at the death... top drawer excitement!!
