Worth Reading

The BBC Sports page has a nice little story on LA Galaxy's England-born midfielder Chris Birchall.
I've expressed my distaste for MLS versus teams from abroad friendlies and I think Birchall's quote is quite telling of how players feel about it.

 "We play friendlies against Barcelona and Real Madrid and we've played well but you can't compare when there's no meaning in the game and it's just a friendly."
