TheSacUnitedSoccerBlog: Tough Work

Being Sacramento's Favorite Blogger is no easy task (well, maybe not favorite, but a blogger nonetheless). It can be very rewarding but also very difficult. So, after months of stress, and suicidal thoughts I finally took a break and went to Cabo on a little Cruise. What a mistake! The only salvation would have been jumping from the boat... so tired, no more beers please. But nevertheless, I won't let you bloglovers down. It's time to talk MLS, Hot Soccer Moms, and Polls.

(Can you imagine how tiring this escapade was? You have no idea... Picture Below)

Anyhow, while I was gone it looks like Eddie Johnson finalized a deal with Fulham. This club is rapidly becoming famous for it's love of the American player. They now have Brian McBride (former MLSer), Carlos Bocanegra, Kasey Keller, Clint Dempsey. That will make him the 5th American player to currently play on the roster, and now the rumor is that Craven Cottage also want Brad Guzan, and will fight it out with Celtic for him! Can you imagine if all 6 of these players were in London on the same side? Could be great, and just enough to keep them from relegation, fingers crossed.

Details: EJ to Fulham for 3.5 years, money not specifically known, but the deal is apparently around 5-6 million for the transfer/buyout. So KC may have some money to spend on new talent. If I had EJ's cell phone, and called him, I would then say our phone calls weren't immedietly returned (journalism baby).

No More Wynalda? And, about new talents, you may have seen the MLS SuperDraft on ESPN, or at least the first hour. Kind of entertaining. There's a new youth coming in, and the talent may be high! Check it out...(Full Hour of SuperDraft online version). You also may notice a new face in the booth for ESPN. That isn't Eric Wynalda, a personal favorite of mine. It is however, his old teammate John Harkes. He is apparently joining ESPN for the broadcast team in 2008. We'll see how he does... I wonder if this quote about Jim Rome had anything to do with this change (below)?? You gotta read the interview entitled "Beers with Wynalda" at the Fulham USA blog!
