It's great to be a Liverpool supporter this week!!!! I know, I know....it was an easy match and Derby are hardly challenging the way they are playing at the moment but it's nice to see my boys at the top of the table with that kind of goal difference. Now if only Roy "Mad Puddin' " Keane's lot can destroy the evil Man U then all will be well in the world!

You just beat me to it. But I would have given the score as well (6-0). Nice one. Enjoy it while it lasts though - City will be passing you tomorrow  |

Hey Coach, are you following the womens world cup? USA are favourites I understand - good luck to them tomorrow, they will progress unless Nigeria beat them by 2 clear goals. England already through thanks to a gritty draw against Germany (who are also through in that group) and a good 6-0 against Argentina. Australia well placed only needing a draw with Canada to be certain of qualification.

Since moving back to Newcastle I've stopped watching the soccer for some reason. I completely missed the news that the WWC is on. Thanks for the tip Doc.
Oh yeah; GO MATILDAS!
O!

Yes indeed! I've tried to watch as many matches as I can and even ordered a DVR to record the US v Nigeria this morning. I saw the England/Japan last week and couldn't believe the result of that. Kelly Smith is quite a talent. On the US side, Abby Wambach (whom I've seen play in person a few times) is outstanding but the rest of the US team has seemed flat. I'm watching a less than legal stream of US v Nigeria and the US just scored in what I think was just the 2nd minute of the match. I would know more, but I don't speak Japanese. |

Hmm, we need to improve our defending against free kicks though - both the Japan goals, and the one Argentina scored (my error above - it was 6-1) were free kicks from just outside the area, straight past the wall, and the keeper. |

Yes, to give up 3 goals like that shines a spotlight on the need to improve on the free kicks. My unwritten thought was that the last free kick was the result of a pretty bad call by the referee. I saw no foul on that play, just two players competing for the ball.

Looking forward to all of these matches. Too bad they start so early here in the US. The first match begins at 5am on the east coast. I'm usually up by 5:30 anyway so I'll see it but I'm sure the vast majority of US Soccer fans will either record and watch later if at all.

Meanwhile, in actual infield news, the Red Sox are fading fast - this is turning into a nail-biter! The Kcowgirl was born with Original Sin, yes, she's a Yankees fan, and the house is turning into a War Zone...

Wake me up when the World Series starts, until then if you put on a baseball game I'll be asleep on the couch.

By the time the Series starts it will be all over. The only thing that matters is that the Red Sox beat the Yankees. Watching either team crush some cricket club from the National League is completely anticlimactic.

Is describing a team as a cricket club a recognised insult in baseball or have I started a new trend? |

On paper, that SHOULD be true, but tell it to last year's Cards and Tigers .... |
