I am trying both ESPN(2nd time) and yahoo (1st time). Yahoo is really different from ESPN. Is there an official one with the Premiership?

Barclays Fantasy League is in the same location as the score prediction game. I signed up; it's a slightly different set of rules.

I'm in three (yahoo, espn, and Barclay's). I like espn the most. Barclay's looks interesting.

Bradley is being talked about in lieu of the sudden resignation of O'Neill at Aston Villa.

Could he become the first American to coach an English Premier League team? :Clap: :Clap:

Really? After all the rumors swirling about how he wasted the talent of the USA and that he might be fired after the performance last night?

Did anyone watch the whole match last night? B and I were fighting over the remote; he wanted to watch soccer, I wanted to watch the Orioles. Anyway, he was pretty contemptuous of the USA against what was obviously a very young Brazilian team.

It's looking pretty serious about Bradley:

The Marta Puma commercial is well done.

Highlights of 1st Saturday of EPL:
Blackpool whooped Wigan, 4-0.
Chelsea REALLY whooped West Brom, 6-0.
City and Spurs were scoreless. Hart saved the game for City.
Villa played well and shutout Hammers, but no Agbonlahor.

Bradlley confirms interest in Aston Villa job.

Apparently OY isn't the only place where the ads are strange. When I read to the bottom of this article, the first Ad by Google was "Find a Chinese wife. Chinese women seek men for love and marriage. Join today for free."

Up until noon, many Villa fans wanted to stick with the interim manager, based on last week's game. However, Villa lost today at Newcastle 0-6. Watch everyone scream for a new manager, based on today's result. Villa were AWFUL today.

By the way, the best team money can buy, ManCity (sans David Silva), thrashed Liverpool 3-0 at Eastlands.

Liverpool looked horrid. They must wait another three weeks before Cole can play EPL games. Meanwhile, Gerrard & Torres are a little sore. And Daniel Agger should NOT be playing, due to complications from the concussion he received vs. the opening match with Arsenal.

Looks like a long year Mersey-side.

Hmm, let's see. A country the size of Connecticut, with the population of Phoenix, where half the residents are not allowed to attend men's sporting events due to Muslim law, that seriously wants to blow off the map another sovreign nation whose soccer team just might make WC, with temperatures that reach 120 routinely in the summer.

Yeah, sounds like a winner to me. :veryconfused:
