Three Incredible Things [R]

. . . the incredible part is that he isn’t on a plane back to Mali.

Worse Than The Vuvuzela: Behold, Jabulani

First, the ball is made of plastic, which is just wrong.

I Blame The Vuvuzelas

Seriously, that was the worst call since Custer said “Hey, let’s attack”.

Stream of Consciousness: Seattle Sounders at FC Dallas

April 23rd, 2010 . By: DJ Walker

My ‘not making the trip to Dallas’ streak continues tonight, unfortunately, so I’m watching courtesy of the good folks at ESPN2 (or as I like to call it, “The Dos”). The crowd is so sparse and quiet that I could swear I’m overhearing a private conversation in the stands.

Stream of Consciousness: FC Dallas at New York

April 18th, 2010 . By: DJ Walker

10 million people in the New York Metropolitan area, and this brand-spanking new, state-of-the art Red Bull stadium is half full. This makes me want to say bad words. At least the supporters group behind the goal (where a supporters group should be, in my view) is really loud and well-organized. Of course that just reminds me of how much I really miss standing with the Inferno on a regular basis. Standing and singing for 90 minutes is really the only way to watch live soccer.

DJ sez: two thumbs up.

Stream of Consciousness: Columbus Crew vs FC Dallas

April 11th, 2010 . By: DJ Walker

It’s the Sons of Lamar playing tonight. You never know what’s going to happen when FCD and the Crew get together. Last time, it snowed. In Dallas. In the Spring. That was so unlikely it rates just below alien invasion on the ‘Likely to Happen’ scale. It made for some great photos, however. As would an alien invasion, to be fair.

Houston v RSL Cage Match

April 1st, 2010 . By: DJ Walker

Word is, they’re having a rematch next weekend at the Greensboro Coliseum, with Ric Flair v Wahoo McDaniel on the under-card.

Steam of Consciousness: Houston vs FC Dallas

March 28th, 2010 . By: DJ Walker

I wish I was more excited about opening day. It used to be I’d actually be nervous before the home opener; today I took a nap. I didn’t even start writing this until the 23rd minute, because nothing happened to take note of. Except the Inferno are stuck in the corner, like an impertinent child (back when you could stick a kid in the corner without risking arrest and civil action), and there’s a strange row of people with yellow cards next to them, for a reason I can’t really fathom.
