In Soccer News...

Not a good week for soccer coaching in the household. First DC United fires their coach (he was pretty ineffective, not much to complain about other than the nagging feeling that he didn't exactly have top-flight talent on board), and now Martin O'Neill out at Aston Villa.
Aston Villa is the reason why I find the premiership watchable -- solid, workmanlike teamwork, they compete hard every week, and their effort has generally been rewarded.
So does Bob Bradley take the reins? So close to the beginning of a season? With the clear indication that the core talent of the team in MF is about to be shipped away for cash?
