The Beckham to AC Milan nonsense is about to start again. Just go now we’ll do fine without you!

I don’t think even the announcers knew. It seems he called some kind of foul but I have no idea what. Seemed like a terrible call.

I still can’t figure out why Jozy’s goal was called back (maybe I tune out the announcers too much). It’s a tough balance trying to get enough of the crowd and still be able to shut out the chatterboxes when necessary, which is often.

Dana, the Spainish usually annoys me more than it helps that I can’t tell what they’re saying. The most fun I had was during this past Olympics where they put ALL of the games online with absolutely no commentary whatsoever. So I got to watch them to only the sounds of the crowd, I loved every second of it.

Nope Laurie, I don’t have ESPN 360, but I’m looking into changing cable companies instead.

Dustin,
If you don’t know much Spanish, you might try watching the game on Telemundo, next time. It was a nice change, not having the talking heads interpreting all the action. : )

That referee in the US vs El Salvador game really upset me. What bothered me most was Harkes harping on it constantly, we have EYES Harkes so Shut UP.

Unrelated news: Franklin and Buddle took part in training last week! And Birchall apparently has a hamstring injury, which could explain why he hasn’t been playing.

Landon was excellent. He is in great form right now. Like most I am both happy and saddened that he likely will and should leave for Europe in January. The only thing that I think could hold him back is MLS’ transfer demand. I’m guessing they want at least $10 million for him.

Dana, do you get ESPN 360? Online is better than nothing.

Thanks for posting the highlights, Nathan. Since I missed the first half of the game I didn’t get to see the goals until now.
I liked the interviews with Josie and Landon and I think they both did a great job representing American soccer.

What bugs me about this World Cup qualifying is that ESPN televised it on ESPN Classic, which my cable company doesn’t carry!
