Odd? Not at all.

In CONCACAF play with the US, the officials will be either Canadian or Latino. No way around it, really.

(No disrespect intended to the officials from T&T, Jamaica, et. al. but they don't have the experience and toughness to officiate a match like US/Mexico)

thanks but no thanks.

It would appear that Nando torres has made it through the international week without an injury... PL teams... beware. Joe does this mean I should/not pick him up? If I am to catch you in our little fantasy league?

it would seem he did, but then he didn't exactly go full whack for the game, I reckon he's still not entirely match fit. Let's hope Dirk 'Sloth' Kuyt puts the head back on his chicken, and gets the running sorted out.

The main problem with you adding Torres is that every time you add a Liverpool player to your team they immediately stop scoring goals. This would then not only doom your team, but also Liverpool. On another note, I think he is going to keep scoring goals, so it may only doom me.

well it's too late, I done it. same day nick anelka scores a hat trick in the FA cup.
