  I was surprised Szczesny went on. I thought he was out cold.

  He definitely looked it. I can't believe they booked Jones for that though.

  Good win for United.
  
  I didn't think Szczseny was out though, his body never went stiff like they typically do. He got hit hard, and he probably did get concussed (it doesn't seem to take a whole lot these days). Jones should've never been booked.

  Fucking spurs.

  Confirmed concussion for Vidic, scheduled to come back vs Cardiff City on 24 November.

  Messi also out 6 to 8 weeks with a torn hamstring. He can't get a break this season.

  Mexico v. New Zealand on Wednesday. I believe the game will be televised on ESPN or ESPN2 around midnight.
  
  USMNT v. Scotland on Friday. The game should be televised on ESPN around 2:45pm ET.

  Unfortunately, the way the Europe based players are going, this is probably a good move lol.

  5-1 win for mexico. Now they are all talking like mexico is back or something. New Zealand is terrible. End of first half mexico had 82% of possession.

  Awesome to see france down 2-0 going into the second leg. Sweden wasn't not aggressive at all, and it bit them in the ass as they go home down 1-0.

  some funny business seems to be going on in this NCAA seeding. Akron wasn't somehow unseeded and UMBC was seeded 16th and they should have been much higher.
  
  Defending national champs Indiana comes to Akron Thursday. Both have had down seasons relative to their usual success, but both seem to have been playing their best ball of the season as of late. Should be a good one.

  WC field will (I think) be finalized today, with the last two African games, the playoffs for Uruguay and Mexico, and the second leg of UEFA playoffs. Hard to believe we're close to the draw already.

  Best line:
  
  "We're not going to consult with the NSA (National Security Agency) to find out via the United States who it is, but I would advise whoever it is to stop or else they're going to get in really big trouble, not only with Pep but with the whole club."

  Crew released their 2014 MLS schedule.
  
  There goes the rumor of a change in playing schedule from the current structure to an August-May calendar.

  No kidding. Slim chance the US gets a good group (that is, a group where they'll be favored to advance), but a chance nonetheless.
