Chaos at the Cosmos (or Even an Aged, Blind, Crazy Squirrel Gets a Nut from Time to Time)

Now this is interesting. According to SoccerAmerica -remember SoccerAmerica?-- the current iteration of the New York Cosmos front office is getting blowed up. Paul Gardner's latest, quasi-bizarrely written treatise for the old-school footie mag throws forth a tale of upheaval around the MLS expansion pretenders and leaves you with more questions than answers.

Allegedly, English Chairman Paul Kemsley is out as is Carl Johnson of Anomaly, the marketing and advertising firm behind the Cosmos near-faultless promotional campaign. It also sounds like the Arab money may have run out as well.

And just to up the ZOMGWTF-factor Gardner alleges that another group of NYC expansion contenders is waiting in the wings led by Uncle Shep Messing, former NFL star Curtis Martin and...wait for it...wait for it...CHUCK BLAZER!

But you know what the real surprise is here: Paul Gardner may have actually broken a piece of news. When was the last time he did that? Who was in office? Carter? Reagan maybe?

Strikers lose first game of the NASL Championship series. Appear on CBS 4 Sports Zone.

This past Saturday the Fort Lauderdale Strikers flew up to Minnesota to play the first leg of the NASL Div2 Championship versus the NSC Minnesota Stars.
Unfortunetly the Strikers lost 3-1. It was a heart breaker to see the team play timidly compared to their past few playoff games. Was it the cold weather up North? Was it lack of heart? I think it just wasn't our day.
What we do know is that now they come back to the heat of South Florida with a 2 goal deficit. Will the boys be able to defend the Fort? I think they can! Now our mission as Striker Likers is to support this team and fill up the "Mecca". We can do it! Be sure to tell everyone to get out there to Lockhart Stadium this Saturday Oct 29, 2011 at 7:30PM.

VIDEO: SportsCenter's Top 10 MLS Goals of 2011

Too bad Adam Moffat's long distance banger from last night didn't make the cut. You could argue, if you're that guy, that it was a better strike than the one included here.

Incidentally those are 2 goals were Moffat's only ones this year. He may not do it often but when he does watch out.

NSR: L'Oncle Ben "Seven Nation Army"

Cisco ❤'s Sporting KC

How long has it been since I've mentioned Sporting KC? What, 5 to 7 days? Better get busy then 'cause I'm slipping.

Here's a 'corporate cool' video from Cisco --the electronics people, not the esophagus-rotting swill favored by trashy, suburban teens-- on LIVESTRONG Sporting Park and Sporting KC's tawdry love affair with all things technologically advanced. It's tidy and informative with sound cinematography.

Also, if you ever happen to sit in the press box at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park try to avoid sitting next to the guy with the Nottingham Forest Twitter background. He cheers in the press box, makes it tough to focus (I know this from experience).

AEG Should Just Go on & Call Them the LAsia Galaxy

If the blog of the Philippine Football Federation treasurer is to be believed the Galaxy's post-season trip to Australia might be turning into LA's "Last Call for David Beckham" Tour*. PFF executive bean-counter Bonnie Ladrido, erm, spilled the beans last night by mentioning on his blog that LA Galaxy president Tom Payne will be in Manilla next week to tour facilities and all that other executive-type stuff. Additionally matches in Singapore and Jakarta are allegedly on the boil as well.

Hats off to LA for exploiting the Pacific Rim for all it's worth during the Beckham era. In the past 5 seasons they've played games in Australia (twice with a third on the books), New Zealand (twice), South Korea, China, Hawaii, and even exotic Vancouver before the 'Caps joined MLS. Surprised they never rocked Japan though as I heard Becks was big there.

*This is if Brand Beckham doesn't extend his contract with MLS, which he very well may.

Snoop Dogg Fakes the Footie Funk

If you are an aging American rapper about to embark on a European tour without aid of a recent hit is there a better way to cater to the locals than to film a promo with you getting your juggle on? Yes. You throw in a pot leaf.

VIDEO: RBNY v. Doop Preview

Soooooooo...how many points do you think RBNY will lose by tomorrow night? 2? It's got to be by at least 2, right? No way they're the now-traditional bottom-seeded team who makes it all the way to the final. They may have started the trend back in '08 but c'mon now, there's no way lighting is striking twice.

RSL Mascot Crashes Wedding, Vince Vaughn Declines Comment

Personally I would not invite a lion to my wedding reception but hey, that’s just me. I also wouldn’t let him sign the guestbook because, being a lion, he is probably an illiterate. Or maybe he can read and write and actually just wants to "pee in a pod” (whatever that is).

U.S. v. Slovenia: The Reckoning

This is awesome. On November 15th ESPN will air a live reunion special of the U.S. - Slovenia match from the 2010 World Cup.

What’s that? It’s not a reunion but an actual rematch? In Slovenia? Oh. Well can we at least get Bob Ley on the pre-game show, a few thousand drunken Americans in the stands and Koman Coulibaly to ref it? Mo Edu’s got some things he’s still trying to work through and this would go a long way to helping him get right with things.
