German MNT keeper Enke in apparent suicide: Robert Enke was 29 and expected to be Germany's netminder next summer in South Africa after replacing Jens Lehman last year.

Hey, ease up on MLS. In England they have no playoffs but instead this thing called the League Cup and EVERY team in all the divisions gets to play.

Lucky Guus got cooked today for the home folks. Talk about upsets.
OTOH, the US youth-ish team got done by the Danes. Bob Bradley is going to have to work really hard with whoever he installs as left back for South Africa, definitely the weakest link we have.

Seems amazingly petty move by Adidas. How many players have shoe lines named for their dads?

rcade, that would argue for a serious expansion in the schedule to match the expansion in team count, wouldn't it? Or maybe add three games to play each other 11 times, fix the schedule imbalance they have now.

But THX (was it a coincidence I fat-fingered that as THC first?), timelords can regenerate a dozen times--at least--so you'd expect him to be a bit cooler.
