So here we are waiting with bated breath for the FIFA World Cup Final to begin tomorrow. Can you imagine how the players are feeling right now? I wonder what they are thinking and how they are preparing both physically and mentally. Can you imagine being in their shoes right now? So, if you are [...]

So, now that England has lost its captain, Rio Ferdinand, has the momentum for this game swung towards the USA? By the way, it is freaky that Germany (Ballack), Ghana (Essien), Ivory Coast (Drogba) and now England (Ferdinand) have all lost their captains before the tournament has even started….

OK, so I sat down with some of my players today and we decided on our recruitment needs for next season. We are looking to add 12 more players to the roster and we have identified the positions. When Blackburn Rovers won the English Premier League in 1995 (Yes the did!) the coach, Ray Harford [...]

What a game, what a night, what an occasion! In front of a record crowd, our team ended their season in a heartbreaking way…it was suddenly all over. We played the semi final of the conference tournament seeded #2 against the #3 seed. Previous encounters this season went to OT with us winning one and [...]
