Do U.S. Soccer a Favor


I'll be on a vacation without the internet until Monday (and I'll let you know if it's possible to pull that off when I get back). But while I'm gone, be sure to watch the MLS All-Stars take on Chelsea on Saturday at 6:30 pm on ESPN. Even if you have a life and you won't be around your television, DVR it on the off-chance that "they" factor in the amount of times the match is recorded when determining the game's T.V. ratings.

Even without Clint Dempsey, who is to my mind the best talent that MLS has to offer, the All-Stars should be able to hold their own with Gomez and Mastroeni in the middle and Moreno and Ching up top. The back four doesn't look terrible, either, with Chris Albright having a strong, aggresive year and Conrad having strutted his stuff in Germany.

The team should be fine and a result is sure to give our young league a shot in the arm. But T.V. ratings dictate sports coverage in this country. And if we want soccer to be a major player in the American sports market, we've got to show television executives that America is watching

Hi,

I think you've done a very nice job with your blog. I have had a chance to browse your site and I think many people would enjoy reading it. I would like to link to your site from my site.

For the past few months I have been working on my site www.writeonsports.com. It is still in the process of being developed and will be finalized in the next month (or so). The premise of the site is to provide a centralized area where independent people, who like to write on sports or read about sports, are able to find articles/authors they enjoy. As part of my website, I am going to provide a "sportsblog library". This will provide readers a searchable data base to find the sports teams that they enjoy reading about. I would like your site to be part of the sportsblog library. If someone searches for the MLS they would be able to find a link to your blog.

I am not looking for a straight listing of all the blogs that relate to each team; I am looking for a place where someone can go and find a well written blog that offers information to the knowledgeable reader. I think your site provides such a quality. As such, I would like to invite you to be listed in the sportsblog library.

Anyway, I look forward to your response and I hope you will accept my invitation.

Thanks,
