Rooney's goal vs. Manchester City

I'm not a huge Wayne Rooney fan, but this was one of the best goals I have ever seen (and it ended up winning the match 2-1 against Man United's arch-rivals). I could do without his celebration afterwards, though. Too bad Rooney hasn't performed like this while wearing an England jersey!

ESPN gets right to Euro Championships!

Every match of Euro 2012 and 2016 will be broadcast on ESPN! This is excellent news for soccer-deprived Americans like me. I will definitely round up another betting pool for Euro 2012!

On another note, as a Liverpool fan, I must say that I am sorry to see Fernando Torres leave, especially to my least favorite team (Chelsea). However, Liverpool got top-dollar for him, despite the fact that he really hasn't been the same player since his injury last spring. Liverpool essentially got 2 for 1: Suarez and Carroll (very talented young strikers) for Torres. I hated Suarez last summer for his dirty, classless handball against Ghana (which ended up winning the game for Uruguay), and not to mention the fact that he is coming off of a suspension for biting an oponent, but I'll give him a chance. Also, I am very much rooting for Michael Bradley to kick-ass with Aston Villa.
