  1. Only one thing matters in Scotland: Rangers will be back in the premier league next year, and Celtic will have some vague level of competition. After winning the SPL for the last three years by double digit points, Celtic (who I love) and Rangers (who I hate) need each other. And SPL needs that rivalry. Right quick. ‘Mon the Hoops!

  2. Copa Roster to be announced during halftime of Redbulls v NYCFC on Saturday. Of course they said the prelim would be announce at half time of a Galaxy game then released it four hours earlier.

  3. So Chandler was relegated with Nurnberg, and could be relegated again with Frankfurt, this time by his former club Nurnberg. How often has that happened.

  4. Hard to get excited for the 18th place team in the Bundesliga playing against the 3rd place team in 2.Bundesliga. Can’t wait for Timmy to come off the bench for a midfielder in the 70th minute, woo hoo. Props to fox for airing though, must not have been any 2nd division Nascar practice available.
