Nico saves the day; New Guy in town

By: jon | November 14th, 2009

Off a defender, off a post, in the net. Mr. Anelka took care of business away for France, making their trip to South Africa look pretty likely. As Jack posted earlier this week, Nico likes being the supporting striker, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t like to let it rip on occasion.

Also in action today, Deco, Ricardo Carvalho, and Paulo Ferreira all played as Portugal won 1-0 against Bosnia, as Hilario, who won his first callup for Portugal, didn’t make the bench. Maybe Wednesday, Henrique!

And oh yeah, I’m the new guy. Jon. How ya doin? I also write the DC United Offside page, so if you’re a Chelsea fan who wants to find an MLS team to follow…I think you can see where I’m going with this. I’ll be helping Jack make this one of the best Chelsea blogs on the intertubes, and I welcome your comments and suggestions for the blog.

  Jon,

  I’m Martin and I write for the Arsenal Offside. Welcome. Jack does a great job with the site and I always enjoy lurking and making the occasional inflammatory comment to see if I can rile you guys up. Anyway, always good to have another blogger in our community, and I look forward to reading your stuff.

  Michael,
  The RFK experience is something to behold in American soccer. It won’t be on the level of other leagues around the world, and the play is uneven and not very flashy, but if you immerse yourself in it, I think you’ll find some joy in it. And tickets are stupid cheap.
