Prays wont hurt the glass man. Only Tim Tebow can help RVP and his injuries.

I would really like that, but competition wise it would be tough to accomplish.

The MLS season change has been talked about regularly with Don Garber.

I don't see it happening anytime soon. Nor does Garber.

I think the MLS needs to do a few more good seasons and get some better advertisers/sponsors before they think of a major shift like this. Get on mainstream television also...that'll help. I could see it happening in 10ish years though.

Euro Qualifying 1st playoff legs tomorrow. 2014 World Cup qualifiers for a lot of federations too.

Euros 1st playoff leg:

Portugal @ Bosnia
Croatia @ Turkey
Ireland @ Estonia
Montenegro @ Czech Republic

In my opinion Ireland and Estonia are probably the 2 weakest teams. Too bad they got drawn against each other.

I'd like to see Montenegro win. Not sure why but I've become a fan. I'd expect Portugal and Ireland to advance (on aggregate at least). Croatia and Turkey could be good.

Finally just got an internet connection that's not comparable to dial up at my new apartment.

If anyone ever wants to get down on FIFA '12 PS3 hit me up.....Automatik614.

I'm rusty....dropped 3 of 5 last night. I noticed Chelsea is running a new lineup, Anelka and Torres on the bench and Sturridge starting....kinda surprised.

USMNT vs France this afternoon ... hoping there's more progress shown, although I don't expect anything close to a win.

In Paris too. I'm just hoping not to get embarrassed.

I'm trying to find the lineups.

let the wrestlers have their 20th ranked sport nationally.

I put my streak on the line for barcelona to win by 3+ goals yesterday, wtf a 1-0 win??

Also, hoping to see some progres as well with the USMNT. It would be awesome for the sport here if they could somehow crack the top 10 nationally

I like it outside of Beckerman. I'd rather see Bradley in there.

I felt this way before, but Bradley has been sucking the last few times I saw him and Beckerman was surprisingly ok.

So there's no gamecast and for some reason ESPN3 won't work. Shit.

I think Beckerman is good enough when we're playing Gold Cup level opponents, but he just isn't good enough for a world stage.
