As you can imagine, there is a lot of soccer news to get to.  I will keep it brief. Arsenal won the FA Cup, finished fourth in the Premier League. TSR , my coed team, finished third in the spring season TSR is not playing this summer, some of us are on loan to Danger Zone FIFA World Cup is in the group stages USA finally beat Ghana .  What an amazing finish after worrying play. USA are poised for a tough Portugal match this coming Sunday Carolina Railhawks beat Chivas USA in the fourth round of the US Open Cup.  It took penalty kicks to do it, but it was done!  Next up, the winner of the LA Galaxy v. Arizona United match tonight.

This past Tuesday the team that is Bayern Munchen proved to be too much for Arsenal to defeat.  While the loss  puts Arsenal out of the Champions League , they still have a chance to finish first in the Premier League , and are on to the semi-finals in the FA Cup where they will face defending champions Wigan Athletic .

Both Arsenal and Everton are through to the next round of the FA Cup .  I am glad for Arsenal, as they are my favorite side.  However, I am happy for Tim Howard of Everton as he is my favorite GK!  Yes, I love it when USA players make it big oversees and especially goalkeepers.  I will be cheering for both sides, but feel I will be more enthusiastic for an Arseanl victory come March 8th!

I was glad to be home on a snow day  Wednesday as it gave me the opportunity to watch Arsenal try to make amends for their poor performance on the weekend.  Fortunately, The Gunners were able to at least tie Manchester United which keeps them in second place for the time being.  Hopefully this coming weekend will see them tie the Liverpudlians in their FA Cup match . Come on you Gunners!!
