Unfortunately I did not partake in much football this weekend, painting bathrooms takes more time than I originally thought. Anyways, here' some nuggets for discussion:

- AC Milan looked pretty pedestrian on Sunday. Onyewu was again passed over for Kahka Kahladze (or however you spell it). I caught the first 30 minutes of the second half and KK didn't inspire confidence but his distribution out of the back is still ahead of Gooch's, hopefully this is the sole reason the big man is still on the bench.

- Liverpool drop 6 on Hull. On the bright side, Jozy got onto the field with 7 minutes left in the game when the rest of the team was too damn tired to even try to get him the ball. There were about 3 instances in those 7 minutes when Jozy was actually close to the ball. For what it's worth; the Reds scored two in those last 7 (11 with stoppage time) giving Jozy a -2 hockey rating, none of which were anywhere near the man-child's fault, but just putting it out there. This cannot be good for his confidence.

- I haven't caught the Arsenal-Fulham match yet but the highlights had Dempsey running around like a madman attempting to create chances. What does Hodgy put in Deuce's tea to get him to play like that? Can Bobbo get some?

- The US U-20's got shitstomped by Germany over the weekend and now face a pretty good (according to others) Cameroon side on Tuesday (ESPN 2 coverage). Give it a look as some of these players may develop into USMNT players in the next 3 years.

- Interesting article and commentator backlash about the US's current first place position within CONCACAF. First off, who is this guy writing this, and why haven't we heard more from him before (not that he's enlightening but he's another voice who may not be on the USSF payroll)? Secondly, why are all of the comments hateful towards him for pointing out exactly what we've been saying for two weeks now? Snorting the Endline fully supports the USMNT, but we also fully support the right to call a spade a spade. To those commentators who couldn't take the spot on opinion, grow up.

- Interesting or Depressing look at what the USMNT roster could look like. Depends on whether you're a glass half-full or half-empty type. I think it's currently an interesting thing to pontificate on; however, we should revisit this in about 10 years. Either we'll be developing better players and they'll all be 'Nats players, or we'll be developing better players and more will choose the other country of their dual-citizenship.

- Peter Hill-Wood's interesting comments about player quotas in the Premiership. How do you, as a man, vote for something that you and your club vehemently oppose? Grow a sack.
