It turned out to be a fun game to watch. Seattle was not outclassed and can feel a little unlucky to have come out of this one with nothing. Both teams had good spells; LA spent most of the evening with five across the midfield and did a good job at spoiling the through balls to the Seattle attackers. LA’s tactics in neutralizing Seattle were…
Freaks and drunks – Halloween in Seattle
Last night was an interesting evening, being Halloween the freaks and drunks were out in force in Seattle. Lots of first class people watching. A group of us ended up at the Comet Tavern for some good live music, it’s the first time I’ve been there and it’s a perfect music/dive bar and hearing Bob Dylan played by a cover band dressed as Kiss is…
Another big night at RBP
I agree with many, the current MLS play off structure does not make much sense; unquestionably the West is the far stronger conference compared the East. The seeding system obviously does not work with 6 teams from the west and only two from the East moving on to the post season. This weekend Seattle plays the top-seeded Los Angeles Galaxy in the first round of…

The toughest thing
In the slightly bigger picture, over the last couple of months I’ve received a number of comments to this blog, always posted anonymously under the same name “davehasnofriends”. There is no such thing as anonymous on the Internet and the trail of breadcrumbs is not hard to follow to its source (Google Analytics is awesome). The most “voracious” of the anonymous posters is Jeanette Higgins…
Zakuani for England?
It’s not a particularly complementary about the MLS, but the Mirror claims Zakuani is appearing on the radar of the England national team. He’s got a huge upside and I do believe his playing future lays in Europe. He’s certainly good enough, but even with the real issues England has on the left it seems a little bit of a stretch today. Anyway, here is…
Colorado 1 – Columbus 0
The MLS playoffs started this evening with Colorado hosting Columbus. During the first half Columbus looked rather out of sorts, did not do a good job keeping their shape and the distribution of the final ball is poor. On the other side Colorado was playing some very, very nice football, have a nice passing game going on and are using that to really stretch Columbus…
An awfully long tour…
On Friday the England cricket team leave for Australia. The first game is next week and the final game is not until February 6th. Between now and then they will be playing 19 games, and a total of 47 days of cricket. An awfully long tour. The first test match between England and Australia was in 1877, the Ashes date to 1882. That year the…
So what’s wrong with cricket?
Spent a morning sitting the George and Dragon with a couple of other ex-pats on Sunday. The idea was to go and watch the football and enjoy breakfast (and the G&D does a great full breakfast), and we got onto the subject of cricket. It’s not secret I really enjoy the game, especially the full five-day test matches. I’ve always loved the way the spectacle…
Thank you, I remembered to breath again.
Sometimes as adults, we tend to get wrapped up in all the craziness of everyday life. It does no matter if it’s a small irritation or a life-changing event. We all have moments when we can all loose perspective on what’s really important. So much so, that we forget to take a moment to breathe and appreciate some of the little things that make life…
