Nico saves the day; New Guy in town

Ireland France Wcup Soccer

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.

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.

Hrmmmmm. I was born in Washington D.C. ..........I spose I could start watching D.C... provided that FSC airs their matches next season (with the playoffs occurring right now and what not)

Yo Jon! What up? CFC and DCU 'til I die. Great to see I'm not alone! Cheers!
