Things I find assinine: Entry #1
Labor disputes rearing their ugly head in... National Team Soccer???
The US National Soccer Team goes into the third and final round of World Cup Qualifying on February 9th. However, the collective bargaining agreement between the players and the US Soccer Federation (USSF) expires on February 1st. So what we've got here is a Mexican Standoff that could jeopardize the US Nationals 2006 WC qualification.
The USSF refuses to lift or delay the February 1st deadline and is threatening to use "untested" (read: unqualified, bad, dumpy, prepubescent) players in the qualification game. Now, I know it's Trinidad and Tobago, but the US has a real chance at (gasp) winning the World Cup next year and putting qualification in the hands of a pack of MLS rejects and Blast, Sidekicks, and Force players is a little extreme.
Don't get me wrong. I love me some Hector Marinaro, and that Force logo is the best in sports; bar none. But isn't there a donkey we can put out there younger with a better foot, er hoof?
