Owen to United...??
Soooo Sir Alex wanted to sign the lad as a teenager.... but as we all know he went to Liverpool where I loved him like a brother until he made his trip to Spain, our relationship ended soon after. Sir Alex finally gets his wish, though he's not a teenager, Michael still has all the potential in the world. But there's only one question to be asked... Can Sir Alex get him out of that funk?
I think the answer's simple.... No... There is no question that if Owen plays he will score goals. To be honest I think he'll fall into a supporting roll where Rooney (who I predict to explode this year) will take a lot of the cake. Also, Berba's there so if he doesn't play well he could fall into a supporting roll, and then there's one of my favorite up and coming players Dannnnnnny Welbeck. Welbeck being the 18yr old stud he his should be looking to get more PT and that will surely take away from Mr. Owen.
There are however, the intangibles that Owen possesses. He has played for some of the best teams in the world (Liverpool, Real Madrid). He has won the FA cup where he scored both goals against Arsenal in a 2-1 victory. His finest moment was when he took the European Player of the Year award in 2001. Owen will have the potential to score goals but the fact of the matter is that he's taken on too many injuries and I don't think he can come out of this terrible funk. But I guess its in Sir Alex's hands now
Personally, I hope he sucks and United fall to 5th this season while Liverpool win the title!!!
YNWA!
Here's a long video....

Footy From the Past Couple Days
Yo what up?.. I'm back from my trip and I figured I'd talk about some goods from the past weeks worth of footy...
Well there's only one place to start that's with the US v Brazil match. I watched it w/ my snoring brother while being occasionally attacked by a cat. Anywho, we proved that we can play with the best. With a dominating first half I was dreaming of that pretty-golden-globe-thing-of-a-trophy. But we were outclassed in the second half like woah.
I'ma start with the goal keeping... and there's not a lot to say. Tim Howard was unreal without him in goal, we're in deep doo-doo.
Defending was great in my opinion, as far as the back four are considered. Gooch won everything in the air while DeMerit fought like a mad man diving every which way to try and keep the ball out of the net. Boca is a natural left back so that pretty much closed out that hole (I've been waiting ages for bradley to move him out there and demerit in the middle to close that damn hole). Lastly, holy Jonny Spector, if he didn't seal his position as the starting right back you'll be sure to hear about it later.
As for the midfield, throughout the tourney I was impressed with Rico Clark. I never liked him as a player until this tournament. Its a shame that Jermain Jones will be throwing him on the bench. Lando=flawless. Benny did his job, nothing more and nothing less. The only player I really had a problem with was Clint Dempsey, I hate to say it but its true. The goal he scored was absolutely great.... but what did he do after that?? (hint: not much).
Jozy worked hard up front, but he needs the move to Fulham if he wants to become a better player or have a bar named after him. I love Charlie Davies, there's one thing in this world you can't teach and he has it.. EFFING SPEED! He just needs to work on the rest of his game... (god please send us a world class finisher.. thanks)
Lastly the coaching was horrid, I understand that he would bring on Bornstein to help defend because when he did stand up we were currently winning. But why the hell would you bring on Sacha?!?! He was clearly the worst player on the pitch the last time you played him why not give someone else a chance.. One other problem was as soon as they scored that goal WHY wouldn't you pull them back and keep what we had out there or make a different change. Cause last time I checked 2-1 is a hell of a lot different then 2-2. Well we lost 3-2 (4-2 cause kaka had one too that didn't count) but everyone knows that.
That's by far my favorite goal of the tourney!
Umm so there's another Beckham book coming out... only its by Grant Wahl.. and its anti-Beckham.. i'm excited and I'll be going to Borders on July 14th to pick it up!.. oh yeah.. here's a bit of a preview
And lastly Real Madrid signed yet another striker Mr. Benzema from Lyon. He's a great investment for the team.... but yet again... who do they have in the back??... idiots....
