Go to soccer games because they’re happening now! That’s right, in the US and Europe, people want to see live football games, all over the world. The Premier League season has kicked off with some wild results, including last weekend’s decimation of North London by the two Manchester clubs, who won 1-5 and 8-2, respectively. There’s also been some crazy transfer window mayhem that saw Arsenal replace Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas with Yossi Benayoun and Mikel Arteta – not exactly an upgrade. You never know though; Benayoun and Arteta have shown they can play, so let’s await the fun and games. it’s Arsenal make-or-break season, something we’ve all heard before, but this time manager Arsene Wenger will surely find his head before the cannon should the Gunners fail to land a trophy. Manchester City have been up to their usual tricks, taking the permanently crippled Man United reject Owen Hargreaves for reasons nobody can fathom. The City midfield is now more crowded with world class talent than, er, a world class talent sardine can (or something) and it’s impossible to imagine what possible use they’d have for a player whose natural state is “injured”. Oh, hold on, I can think of one; City’s obsession with neighbors United which probably means they’ll do all they can to have Hargreaves fit for the derby day clash in November, in the hope he’ll come on and score. The transfer window also affected things in the MLS, as Robbie Keane went to LA Galaxy. Tickets to Galaxy games have presumably taken on more value as their roster slowly accumulates a distinctly souped-up character, with the likes of Beckham, Donovan and Juninho adding power and width. The Galaxy vs. Red Bulls game recently had the air of a Euro superclash, with Thierry Henry and Juan Pablo Angel fighting it out with the Galaxy’s big-hitters, and there’s plenty more to come on the NY Red Bulls schedule, so keep a close eye on it.
