Good afternoon folks. It is Thanksgiving Day and while much of America will be taking in some American Football, I know there are plenty of you who still crave your soccer.
Even on a day like Thanksgiving, there is soccer to be seen and to be discussed. UEFA Cup action kicks off with a number of sexy match-ups. Here are some of today's top matches:
-
AC Milan at Portsmouth
-
Manchester City at Schalke 04
-
Ajax Amsterdam at Hamburg SV
-
Feyenoord Rotterdam at Deportivo La Coruna (Sorry Canadian fans, there will be no DeGuzman reunion. Julian has a hamstring injury and Jonathan has an ankle injury).
It may be a holiday, but there will be some fresh content up today, including my breakdown of the expansion draft as well as the results from the Freddie Ljungberg edition of You Write the Caption, so stay tuned for that.
For now, feel free to discuss the UEFA Cup action, or any other topics on your mind this Thanksgiving day.
Enjoy the action, and the turkey.
Happy Thanksgiving (even it be late :D)
Ives, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I’m sure you sacrifice a lot and we all appreciate it.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Ives!
Happy Thanksgiving Ives! On the list of things I’m thankful for, a top quality soccer news site like this ranks pretty high. Thanks for everything, and I look forward to the next year of checking your site multiple times each day.
Happy Thanksgiving Ives. Doesn’t one of the DeGuzman’s now play for the Netherlands?
Happy Thanksgiving Ives. Enjoy that Turkey, you deserve it.
Happy Turkey Day from a Hammer!
Happy Thanksgiving Ives.
Great work on the site.
Ives, Happy Thanksgiving and we all really THANK you for having this site, keeping it up and interesting.
According to the LA Galaxy website Landon Donovan is in LA to rest and receive treatment. Why can’t teams ever be honest with their fans? Tell me that Landon isn’t coming back and that we are going to have to pick up some mid-level talent players to replace him. I’m just frustrated.
Looking forward to your analysis Ives. And what about these Cooper to Germany rumors?
Ives,
Can you breakdown why Seattle took Jarrod Smith from Toronto on a separate post? It just baffles the mind!
Thanks!
Yeah both De Guzmans are injured and won’t be playing.
PSG – Racing Santander is another good UEFA cup match taking place today.
Are the DeGuzman’s playing? Thought they were both injured.
