The SoccerNation Report- 7/23/08

Today, I've got two things to talk about.  One is a possible transfer and the other is about last night's huge game.  So, let's get started.

 

Transfer of the Day- Mutu to Roma?  Fiorentina's best striker from last season could be on the move to Roma.  The Romans have officially made a bid for the player that said that he wanted to end his career at Fio.  The 29-year old Romanian has really became one of the best stories of the sports world.  About like Josh Hamilton, Mutu rebounded from a cocaine addiction that practically kept him out of the game for a couple of seasons.  After his very good performance for Romania in the Euro, it's no surprise to see someone make a move for him.  But let's be honest.  Fiorentina doesn't own Mutu anything, but he owes them everything he has right now.  If it wasn't for Fio, he probably wouldn't be playing.  Fiorentina stuck their neck out for Adrian Mutu and it payed off.  And I think that Mutu has finally realized this and I really don't see him going to Roma.  Plus, you can't just get rid of him because he is a large part of that Fio team.  Without him, they wouldn't be in the Champions League.  As a soccer fan, I have to say that I want him to stay put.  Fiorentina are way too entertaining and I think they have an outside shot to win the Serie A this year.  They are also capable of making a run in the Champions League, so watch out.  Europe will be flooded with purple this season.

Before I start anything I just want to say thanks to MadridistAmericano for allowing me to see some Beach soccer later today and for the rest of the tourney.  Thanks again and go check out that site.  Well, let's look at the news.  Today's version will have a lot of short stories.

 

Ronaldinho To Wear #80- It has been confirmed that Ronnie will wear the 80 jersey because his usual '10' is taken by Clarence Seedorf.  And since he was born in 1980, he decided to wear the #80.

Sorry for the long break but it kind of gets old to me and you.  Let's see what is on the table for discussion today.

 

All-Star Game Gets Spicy- Today's huge bit of news is about the MLS All-Star Game.  In a friendly match between the Columbus Crew and the EPL-side West Ham, a fight broke out.  The fight was said to have started when 30 or so West Ham supporters entered the corner of the stadium near the "Very Loyal, Crazy People" Crew supporters.  The Crew fans then directed chants at the Hammers' fans and the fight broke out between the two factions.  I think this can only help the game.  If the two teams don't like each other it will be good, but then again I don't want to see anyone hurt.  So, maybe this will just grab some attention and some people will watch the game.  Will more watch because of this?  Probably not, but we can wish.  The game ended 3-1 for the Hammers.  The All-Star Game is Thursday on ESPN at 7:00.
