i miss jose!
Most reports about him recently have him texting others to let them know of his future plans. Among all the other things I love about Jose, using texting to communicate is just another one. As someone who has used 1,334 texts since the 12th, I totally know how that goes. Is that really a lot, though? Anyways, let's just take a moment to appreciate Jose today.

nsr: public service announcement
As I discussed in my poorly edited post yesterday, I went to the Lupe, n.e.r.d., Rhianna and Kanye Glow in the Dark tour and I have a few points I want to bring to your attention before you get to the show a half an hour late.
1.The Chicago show started at 7 and at 7:01 Lupe was on the stage performing his entire set. I thought he might just be out there to get the crowd warmed up for a few songs, but no, he ran through his entire set. Everyone around us got there late and were pissed when we told them they already missed Lupe. The most common thing heard, "The only reason I'm at this show is to see Lupe." I thought it was a complete disgrace that Lupe had to open up this show to a half full arena in his hometown. Lame!
2.If you're a fan of Lupe or n.e.r.d. don't expect to hear you favorite song. They blow through their sets, which is to be expected with so many acts. n.e.r.d. got the crowd bumping but they only performed like five songs. I'm sure you could guess what five songs they were too. At this point in the show I was upset that I didn't hear "Sunshine" or much off of Lupe's first album or "Maybe" by n.e.r.d.
3.n.e.r.d. will get you all pumped to sit through a 20 minute set change for lame ass Rhianna. No one was amped up to see her and she didn't even bring Chris Brown out there to sing "Umbrella" with her. He was there because he came out and danced to "Spazz" with n.e.r.d. During her set change we had enough time to get a beer, and there were hella lines, and for The Boyfriend to meet up and talk to the blogger who wishes The Boyfriend ate more salad. By the time her show started, I was ready for another beer. She also covers "Paper Planes" by M.I.A and a Lauryn Hill song. Absolute disgrace! As The Boyfriend said, he felt like he was at the Enormobowl during Karaoke Revolution.
4.All this craziness and disappointment will be completely worth while though when Kanye takes the stage. Don't even bother looking for clips on youtube because they most definitely don't do any justice to his show! He performs almost every song you would want him to(including the song I'm petitioning as the new anthem of the United States "Don't Stop Believing") and he does it all on his own. And all the Lupe fans who missed him were at least a little happier when he came out during "Touch The Sky". There's an entire story involved with the show and you have to see it all come together to really get the goosebumps experience.
5.You ain't cool unless you get a pair of Kanye glasses! For real. I held off on the temptation the entire night but there was one last guy selling them on the street we were parked on and I gave in. I'm sure the countless beers I drank all night had something to do with my impulse. But even this morning, it was a great buy. They're only ten dollars!

friday football five
Life's kind of hectic right now between dealing with car dealerships (I hate this whole process) and going to Kanye, Lupe and n.e.r.d. tonight in Chicago(I do not hate this process at all!) so this is going to be a quick five.
1.It's official! My boy Bocanegra is no longer a Cottager. It's kind of an end of an era. Hate to say it, but this will really test my fandom, especially if he happens upon another EPL team. PSV and some Spanish team is interested. That would be amazing if he could get some Champions Leage time with PSV. Crazy! I'm hella anxious to see where he's going to go. He better not wait all summer.
2.Another US Soccer commercial. This one features Duece. My lone Fulham American left (Kasey's basically out the door, McBride might be coming to the Fire in August and well we've already discussed Carlos and I try to forget that Eddie Johnson is a player for the US National team and for Fulham). I just got a black and red Fulham jersey with his name on the back so he better no go anywhere. Love him!
3.When did Shaka Hislop become an authority on soccer? He was on the Champions League broadcast this past Tuesday and he writes each week about MLS for the Guardian's website. I only read one of his articles as it was full of basis MLS errors and I pretty much discredited him at that point. I didn't hear what he had to say during the Champions League broadcast as I was busy trying to gather all the Newcastles I could before they ran out. I'm just not a fan but maybe he was better with European soccer.
4. The Cesc Fabregas Show debuted in jolly ol England this week. I downloaded it on Tuesday but still haven't had the chance to get through the entire episode. Currently, this show is bothering me because I'm trying to send it to a friend, but it's not working for me. Because of the debut and the havoc it's caused on my life these past few days, here's a preview of it.
5. I don't know whose least shameless in their promotion of their team. Chivas USA with their making guys strip on morning TV or US Soccer with their constant barrage of pictures of Carlos in a pool. I don't really care who wins this battle, just that it continues for a long, long time!

hottest foot EVER!
I've never been more excited about friendlies in my life. I don't if it's because they should be good games or because I haven't seen Carlos play in forever or because it means qualifying is right around the corner or because I'll be seeing Carlos and Cesc on the same field at the SAME TIME! Worlds are colliding! These commercials are amping me up for this summer. Although, at this point you could just mention the world soccer and I'd be like "yeah! world cup qualifying! I can't wait!"
I can't even start thinking of the game I'll be going to at Toyota Park in September. I'll die from anticipation.

not sports related
Yesterday all of my dreams came true! Jon has taken the place as my number one favorite New Kid on the Block. I am counting down the days until I get to see them live. If I don't get tickets for this show you might see me on the evening news with a shot gun or something.
16 May 2008
the original winger
Back in the time of html and soccerboards.com I developed an affinity for Brian Dunseth. Okay, if I'm going to admit some stuff I might as well admit it all and start from the very beginning. I used to be a New England Revolution fan. Gasp! Shock! The horror! I know. Given everything that's happened in the past ten years between the Revs and my now beloved Chicago Fire I can't I'm believe I'm admitting this in a public forum. (although, if you knew me on bigsoccer, my user name kind of gave my former allegiance away) But you have to remember, there was a point in time when the Chicago Fire didn't exist and I had to find a team to root for. I hate to think about those dark ages, too, but they really did exist. My New England fandom came from my obsession with Boston when I was in high school. I really thought I was going to spend the rest of my life there. Wow, I'm glad that dream never came true(Celtics? Red Sox? YUCK). But yeah, I used to totally love them.
What does this have to do with Brian Dunseth and why am I bringing it up on a Friday night? Well, probably on a boring Friday night similar to this one (in my defense I just worked a full day, went out for drinks with the coworkers and made a stop at Target with the boyfriend so the evening wasn't a complete waste) I made a website for Brian Dunseth. Yep, I was THAT cool. It was basic html at it's finest! It was full of pictures and useless info and all sorts of crap. If I had to pick a few words to describe it those words would be OUT OF CONTROL. I don't know why I picked Brian Dunseth to make a website for, okay I thought he was hot, but it's come to haunt me ever since.
First, everytime Brian Dunseth is on FSC The Boyfriend likes to look at me and laugh thinking about the website, he doesn't even have to say anything. I then like to kick him in the face. It's a fun exchange. Second, it was actually brought up to ol Brian a few years ago during an interview with 90 minutes magazine. My bio page was quoted and everything. I would have remained blissfully unaware of this but a friend in Salt Lake, who is actually friends with Brian, found the need to point it out to me. Cringe and cringe.
Again, why do I bring this up? Due to my five minute love affair with him being documented on the internet forever and ever I've kind of kept an eye on his career. I have to say, Brian Dunseth is like on a one man mission to make soccer cool and acceptable in America. Between his clothing company, blog and day job dude is really trying to represent the sport we all love on all levels. It's like every where I turn someone's giving him love over one of his sweet tees or linking to his blog. After journeying throughout the MLS he's having an even bigger influence on the game in America. As a soccer fan all you want to do is convince everyone you encounter how much you love the game and how they should love it too. The difference between him and myself (and there are plenty. heh) is that people actually listen to him. He has a great influence on the game and despite all the crap I've taken over the years for that stupid website I couldn't think of a better guy to have given props to.
All of this was really just to link to this great post from Chivas USA's Justin Braun about his turn from college student to pro athlete. It's just refreshing to hear one of the young guys talk about how amazing of an opportunity it is to get his foot in MLS instead of justifiably bitching about how little he's getting paid.

friday football five
I'm putting too much pressure on myself to write something equally epic regarding the greatest recovery to a season in all of sports history, but something good will come. I'll make sure of it. In the meantime, I bring you my Friday football five.
1.Chad, Chris and Cuauhtemoc do Wrigley The boys did well and I'm sure they couldn't have done it without Blanco's conducting! When The Boyfriend text me to tell me Blanco was up in the booth, I didn't know what to think. I'm glad he recognized his English limitations. Considering The Boyfriend saw Rolfe in line for a beer before the game and Blanco acting a fool I'm sure they had plenty of alcohol in them at this point. Can't say that I blame any of them.
(I also can't believe I just went through that entire paragraph without anything negative to say about Chad Barrett...weird)
2.Blanco won goal of the week for his golazo against DC United last week. I love Blanco so much. It's not even because I'm Mexican and I'm like supposed to, I just really do. He's amazing!
3.My favorite soccer player from Green Bay (I can't say Wisconsin because that would include Jesse Marsch and I don't know if I could pick a fave between the two) is featured in one of the US Soccer commercials. Love it! He got mins in the first Championship play off game and started the second play off but that did nothing to turn the tide for Watford. They're still going to remain a Championship team. I think they could have definintely been one of the three to get promoted but they've just been in a funk for the entire second half of the season(coincidentally the same amount of time Jay's been on the bench) so they really didn't deserve it. Jay's been whining for the past month about the lack of playing time so we'll see if the coach goes or Jay goes.
Probably the only reason I'm glad the end of the English season is here is because I'm anxious to see what happens with Jay and Carlos. As much as it pains me, Carlos needs to find somewhere else to play ball. I don't think Roy will ever make him a starter no matter who comes and goes from the Fulham defensive unit this offseason. Jay and Carlos are both too good to be sitting the bench. I'd like to see Jay stick it out at Watford if only because I just got a Watford jersey with his name on the back and was only able to wear it once this spring. Carlos, though, well his time in the SW6 seems done for.
4.No UEFA cup for Fulham Fulham could have qualified for the UEFA cup via the Fair Play table. The rest of the teams in front of them on this Fair Play table have already qualified for Europe so the next fair play team available would have been Fulham. They could have gone from relegation to Europe in 60 seconds, but their Hollywood ending wasn't meant to be. Man City, despite getting a red during their last game, is the team who is going to qualify with that spot. That's right, the same Man City who has been talking about firing Sven for the past month because he didn't deliver Europe to them, is going to Europe. Who would have thought? Their owner is a nitwit! Anyone who doesn't think Man City was tanking it in their 8-1 loss this past weekend needs to watch the highlights again. I've never seen professional athletes care so little about being scored on and I'm a fan of the Bucks. I've seen tanking at it's finest up close and in person. Man City did tanking proud.
5. US Roster announced for their tripleheader of pain coming up Okay, that England game won't be that bad but they're playing Spain a few days before they start Euro and Argentina which is just bad on anyday. Anyways, if you can get through the list of a bajillion goalkeepers they're taking (really, Brad Guzan? Bob-o have you seen our homeboy play lately? ;)) you'll see the return of one DAMARCUS BEASLEY!! I didn't realize how much I missed him until I saw his name on the list. Yeah, D Beas! I know they're only friendlies, but I can't wait for these games! Maybe because I'll be able to see Carlos for the first time this millenium.

friday football five
I made the trip out to DC this week to catch the Fire/DC game. In all the trips I've made out to DC, I've never seen the Fire win. I was kind of worried that this would be the weekend that DC shook out of their slump and sent me home disappointed again, but thankfully, that wasn't the case. Don't stop living in the red, yo! A few observations from the trip and then some.
1.WV really knows how to make an entrance. The first thing that took me aback was the fact that they had the jerseys in the team store already. Pretty cool considering there are still Fire fans who don't know where you can find a Best Buy Fire jersey. (BTW, they're it that little shack when you walk in from the parking lot on the Section 8 side of the stadium and I'm sure other places but I've never sat any place other than Section 8. Also, can I mention how our little shack of Fire gear doesn't even compare to the official team store DC has? Their stadium is still a dump so there!) The second thing that caught my attention was the fact that they were comping parking for everyone for this game. Hey guys, you get the beer, I'll get the parking for this game! Sneet. I walked into RFK and was immediatly given a WV poncho! How brilliant! There was rain in the forecast and they were sure to not have people's brand new DC jerseys with their fancy logo on it covered it by rain gear so they supplied it for you. This was also a welcome freebie to The Boyfriend's sister who was less than pleased she couldn't bring her umbrella-ella. They weren't cheap ponchos either. WV had me at hello at that point, but that wasn't all. They had a TALKING BUG!!! (I think it was supposed to be talking in a German accent, but can't say for sure;)) and have already supplied to the Barra Brava their own big ass WV jersey. Section 8 is still loving the Puma days when we toss our big ass jersey up so I was in awe. All in all, WV had their stuff together and I was highly impressed...and a little jealous.
2.Bakary Soumare, Diego Gutierrez, Brandon Prideaux and Gonzalo Segares are an F-IN WALL!!! You can't beat these guys! Every time I thought DC had a chance, these guys would be there to sniff it out and in tough fashion! Diego, Brandon and Gonzalo are just true defenders in that they do their job and it's not in flashy fashion or anything. Bakary is just running all over the field, tearing stuff up! I love it! I mean, they're making Jon Busch look like an all-star. Jon Busch! I never thought I would get so turned on by a defensive unit that didn't include Carlos Bocanegra but here I am. Love em!
3.Side note about Bakary...he's pretty much earned a spot into the hearts all of his Fire fan Facebook friends. While on the prowl on Facebook, I had seen where he had gotten into convos with other Fire fans. So this morning I thought I would let him know I appreciated his efforts in last night's game and what not. Then, just a few hours later, I got a response from him. What a dude! I might have to start a Facebook group called "Bakary Soumare is my favorite Facebook friend" or something. How many pro athletes take the time to even reply a line to their fans and treat them like a real friend? I don't care that he's "just an MLS player", that's still pretty cool in my book.
4. Day of Destiny
Fulham is all about getting their fans pumped up for these final games!!! I totally buy into this kind of stuff. At the beginning, though, when they said something about "don't stop believing" I thought they should have totally bust into that song. Hello, there are 5 Americans(even if 2 of them are m.i.a.) on this team. It's like our National Anthem (name me someone who doesn't love that song when they're drunk! You can't!) It's inspirational nonetheless. This is the final game of the season and I can't believe it's all going to come down to this. I call another Clint Dempsey franchise saving goal.
5.
Cesc + "Move Bitch" = GREATEST VIDEO EVER!!! There is even a special appearance by both The Special One and The Voyeur! I can't put into words how amazing this video is so just enjoy it.
"young and successful, sex symbol. bitches want me to f*ck em. true true" I can't think of a better soundtrack for young Cesc.
Off to watch the game from last night. I hear Blanco blew kisses to the crowd. I love that man.
06 May 2008
crazier things have happened
1.Fulham rescued themselves from the relegation zone for the first time since Boxing Day. In semi-related news, Boxing Day was the last time I spent the day drunk at The Highbury. See the connection there?
2.One week after jumping off the Brad Guzan bandwagon he went ahead and delivered his first clean sheet of the season against Houston. That's good to see Brad. Maybe I wasn't totally off of that bandwagon just yet.
3.Speaking of bandwagons I'm jumping on...that Cesc Fabregas is quite a stud. And not too bad at my favorite game either. Before the Birmingham City game, and after a couple bloody marys, I declared my love and devotion to Arsenal and said I was getting a Fabregas jersey. That was before my boys reminded me they were staying in the Premier League. Anyways, I still might get his jersey because dude is cookoo bananas!
4.Also this weekend, Martin Truex Jr. got 6th for his first top ten of the season, I think. Hallelujah! It's about damn time Martin. He thought his breaks were going early in the race, but he persevered, kept himself out of trouble and got a good finish. Now onto Darlington!
That was quite a lot of good things to go down in one weekend. I'm not used to being happy with all my teams and what not. Hopefully I didn't just jinx them!

friday fulham five
I'm already nervous for this game. I need to just give in and come to terms with them not winning right now. I don't think they've won any relegatio six pointers all season long and I don't really feel like crying at the bar. But just cause, I'm posting five videos to get you all pumped up for the game of the century.;)
1.
2.
The unbelievable game from last week! To come from two goals down to win away!! Insane!
3.
Carlos scores a goal in this video! I miss him!
4.
A video made after the exciting come from behind to tie game against Tottenham in the early part of the season. I was at the bar watching this game live and it was pretty incredible! And I'm a fan of this video because they use the same music that was used in the last scene of "Sex and the City". (I can't wait to see that movie!)
5.
Lastly, do it for Billy. Do you really think he'll be able to keep his job if Fulham's down in the Championship? I'm thinking he wouldn't make it past the first round of budget cuts. Don't let him become another E! True SW6 story!
For those of you not keeping track of Fulham's position, they absolutely have to win their next two games, and I think get some help, to stay up! They can do it!
COME ON YOU WHITES!
