If Real Madrid is going to stay within striking distance of Barcelona, it will need to lean on Kaka to make that happen.
The most expensive team in the world faces Deportivo La Coruna today in a match with serious La Liga title race implications and the 'Galacticos' will need to win without Cristiano Ronaldo, who is serving the first of a two-match red card suspension.
The EPL will feature some quality matches as usual, with Fulham-Aston Villa and Wigan-Everton among the ones that will attract the most interest among American fans. Another match Americans will want to keep an eye on is Pachuca-Atlante, with Jose Francisco Torres taking his first steps toward trying to earn a World Cup roster spot.

Togo banned from the next TWO African Cups of Nations by CAF.
Wow.
Well 915 for ‘pool/bolton is wrong it seems. 10 AM can not get here fast enough!
Cahill wants Donovan to stay permenant at Everton. Good way to start a ball game.
Pre game quote?
Donovan, Altidore,Spector starting once again for their teams, for the exception of Jozy who will start today. Woohoo!
Yes.
Hahnemann as well. No Holden for Bolton, however.
Togo’s personnel get killed in a terrorist attack and CAF bans them for their reaction? Really??
I don’t think I can find the words for my contempt for CAF.
Looks like jozy is starting. If he is going to get a goal this season, this game is really a great chance.
I like jozy with vennegoor up top…Jozy needs someone to play off of. A faster guy would be better but jan is better than nothing.
Alright, people, make the threads rain!
anyone have a stream for the everton game?
yea…..but why is Holden nowhere in Bolton’s squad?
yes. go find it and don’t post it.
Save Our Streams : )
Please, I want to see our boys. Everton and Hull, anyone have a reliable stream?
Yo–he hasn’t played a competitive game in a long time–8-9 weeks, right? He needs to get fit. Plus, he picked up a quad injury training with Bolton, if I recall.
There’s something unsettling about Brad Friedel dressed head to toe in canary yellow.
guys come on with the stream people post the same sites here week in and week out remember them and don’t post them again
Goal for vennegoor assist Jozy
assist Altidore
Jozy just plowed right by some defender and played it nicely off for the assist!
Hull 1, WOlves 0
Goal for Hull City in the 11th. Gamecast indicates Jozy had the assist.
It’s an indication of things to come!
From the BBC:
Jozy Altidore shows fabulous strength to hold off his marker and he cleverly tees up Jan Venegoor of Hesselink to lash in a fine low shot from 20 yards. Cracking goal.
Bummer for Hahnemann
and then Donovan just dicks a defender pretty hard and follows it up with quite possibly the worst cross ever
seriously post a link to a good stream, but dont post it like a real link

BBC:
“Hull goal: Hang on, wasn’t this supposed to be the shot-shy derby? Jozy Altidore shows fabulous strength to hold off his marker and he cleverly tees up Jan Venegoor of Hesselink to lash in a fine low shot from 20 yards. Cracking goal.”
How much effort does it take to make atdhe.net a favorite?
Oops. Overlapped/didn’t see Beckster.
My hull stream went down…. super wack
Saha off the post.
If I knew how to write computer programs, I would have one that automatically posted for me every Saturday morning, “Why no Beasley or Edu in the 18″?
these black and pink jerseys are so hot
anybody else disappointed that Monchengladbach has 4 goals at half and none belong to Bradley. I don’t have highlights but here is to hoping maybe he has 4 assists
bah, now the stream is down.
Thanks. Got em. Won’t ask again. First week streaming EPL. Although, at the moment, the only video link has gone down. I have audio, though.
here is a good everton stream at

did any1 else’s stream of everton wigan just black out??
find them yourself
find them yourself
Yes, neither stream seems to be working.
Love the Prem in HD….anyone know if FSC HD will stay on the same channel or move to an “HD row”
Gladbach 4:2 over Bremen at the half . . . looks like a crazy game
I love the bundesliga!
who has a stream for any of these games…
Soccer Saturday-”Atidore (mispronounced) been causing problems best on pitch”
make sure your in internet explorer
bbc live text is all i have left… imma go back to bed
my thoughts exactly ha.
The Everton game has been a choppy affair, with lots of switching around and long periods of inactivity.
Oh wait, that’s just my feed.
Dude Phil Brown looks like a House’s retarded cousin
FWIW Holden is still on the mend from a minor thigh injury thus the reason he is not in uniform today.
Not really. Neither are his job.
I, too, am perplexed by the Beasley-Edu situation. The competition at these clubs must be ridiculous.
Go JOZY! He is having a solid game. It’s against a week opponent but it’s something.
looking at the replay over and over…. is just me or is altidore freakishly strong…. when he is in his prime dude is gonna be the best target forward in the world
No Cherondolo for Hannover. Anyone know if he is injured again?
Nice muscle, get out of my way assist for jozy.
Beasley’s injured. I think Edu might be nursing a slight knock too.
Let me get this straight. Jozy Altidore is playing up top WITH Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink? Who would have thought that would be effective? What a revelation!
(Also if you can’t read it through the internet, I’m being extremely sarcastic)
Who knows but at this rate, Spector will be first choice for right and left back.
world? and since when did the simple attribute of being strong make someone the best at anything in soccer.
No, it’s yellow card accumulation.
Donovan looks very sharp. Official missed a PK call for Saha, and then lets a Wigan player kick out at Landon after the whistle.
ESPN shows that Edu, and Beasley did not dress again.
post of the week…for some reason I find funny
BMG game is wide end to end action. I think Michael Bradley’s next team should be Everton. He has a Felaini kind vibe to him.
Bayern up on Mainz 2-0 in the 76th.
darn whomever just messed up my hull city link
Has Bob played Spec on the left? Ideally we could get both Cherunds and Spector on the field at the same time. Spec Boca Onyewu Cherundolo. It looks ok on paper.
Jozy just won a penalty. He’s been troubling all day. Good to see that from him.
This kid is a specialist, destined to earn Donovan several more free goals.
let jozy take the PK!
not sure if anyone mentioned this….jack wilshere signed with bolton….how does that effect holden? could’ve sworn wilshere is a medfielder…correct me if i’m wrong….
Thanks dude
both of these streams are pissing me off
jozy has an assist, has won a penalty, and at least 3 free kicks.
GOOD GAME FOR JOSMER SCORE A GOAL!!!!!
Yes, Wilshere is a Left winger who can also play central and even as a forward. He’s only 18 but has huge potential and Coyle loves the kid. Thus why he’s on the bench for today.

Marcus, do you want to make it on the team? You let him score.
wolves ties it up.
Jozy out for Zaki.
Jozy gets stopped on a 1 on 1 Wolves scores on the break soon after
and jozy’s off.
Of course, Brown takes Jozy out to put in that **** Zaki. I hope he breaks his leg.
jozy should have chipped that shot attempt….
Hows Landon lookin?
Altidore w/ a fantastic breakaway down the left, saved by our 3rd string keeper….aaarrggghhh!! Very impressive acceleration Jozy displayed there.
Then Wolves go back & equalize. And Jozy gets subbed for the Egyptian madman.
Assist on 1st goal, created penalty for 2nd. Commentators full of praise for Jozy. VERY encouraging.
I’m not watching the game, just gametracking it. Was Jozy at fault for the breakaway that resulted in the Wolves’ goal? Is that why Brown took him off? Or did he just want to put Zaki on
Donavon off for Everton
Dude from Soccer Saturday has no clue why either if Vennegour scores I don’t mind if Zaki does I’ll be pissed
EFFF. He just came off didn’t he?
How’s Everton doing? Is Donovan still on?
Donovan subbed out. Difficult game for him to get involved in. A little sloppy, ball bouncing around a lot.
back to work it is then
why would you possible sub jozy out
that makes no logical sense whatsoever
he had an assist, earned a penalty, and was probably the best hull player on the field
Jozy needs to keep having games like this (albeit against better opponents than Wolves) to force Brown to keep playing him. It really does seem that every time Jozy starts, Hull plays well and good things happen.
He was starting to looked gassed after that break away I think.
Here is Jozy’s assist if you haven’t seen it yet:
link to watchsocceronline.blogspot.com
when jozy gets the ball at his feet he is so good…..his teammates need to get him the ball on the ground…. his strength makes him seem alot faster than what he is because the guy running with him can not get past his physical frame
phil brown never ceases to amaze me
no doubt a voice in his headset told him, “Take off your most dangerous player.” Hull deserves to be relegated for keeping that tool as their coach. And they will be relegated if they can get no more than a pt at home off Wolves.
Strength (and mobility) + Talent + Good Attitude = Best target striker in the world. Jozy has the physical tools and the talent, he just needs the attitude and work rate to step in. If he gets those together, he could be one of the best in the world.
just went back to crunch some numbers… and since donovan has joined the team
everton is 2-0-2, 6-3 on goals (2 games agaist arsenal and man city)
4 games prior
everton was 1-0-3, 7-5 on goals (1 game against chelsea)
Difficult, yes, but Donovan was quite involved and very dangerous, IMO. He tracked back on defense very well as well. Physicality tired him out, I think, not to mention the 3 games in a week and all the running he does. He played well, despite a few mis-touches.
Did anyone see the guy wearing a Jets beanie in the Fulham-Villa game…I thought that was pretty funny.
Good game from Jozy. Hope he can follow it up next week. Give him the start again!
FSC is finally in HD
Burnley – Chelsea today
Arsenal-Man U tomorrow
Can someone with FSC explain to me how I’m supposed to watch it in HD? It SAYS HD but I’m watching it and it is definitely NOT HD. Is there a new channel???
Watching Chelsea Burnley, it says HD in the corner, but it’s not in HD. I can’t find FSCHD on FiOS, anyone else?
Is your feed in HD? Who is your cable provider?
It’s definitely a better quality feed than previously, but it’s hardly HD.
that replay brought back memories of him powering over the spanish defender when he scored against Spain in the confed.
Actually it is not.
I have a regular receiver in my room and I just noticed the difference between FSC and Fox Sports en Espanol, so I assumed the game would be in HD on a HD receiver but it is not.
I’m guessing most(if not all) cable/satellite providers don’t have a separate channel for the HD feed yet.
Yes I was wondering the same thing. I have an HD reciever and have Direct TV but this is definitly not HD. If this is what FCS has been pimping over the past couple of months then I am sorely disappointed. Its only in 480p for christs sake!!!
Terry!!!!!!!!
So, who do you think gets cut from the English National Team for the world cup now? Wayne Bridge or John Terry? I would think that one of them isn’t going to make it to South Africa after this whole incident.
Everton is 3-1-1 since Donovan joined, with the loss being to Birmingham in the FA Cup
I don’t get why people omit demerit from the line up. At this point I think he’s our most obvious starter on defense.. at the least he is a much better option than boca
Jozy is strong, he’s somewhat mobile, horrible first touch, good attitude (though he lacks motivation most of the time), decent passer & poor 1v1 skills.
All in all, he’s got a lot of work ahead of him in order to reach the pedastal people like you have placed him on.
At this point, he’s a poor man’s Balotelli.
Capello is Italian — wife swappping is common in Italy!
Wilshere is just on loan.
I can understand, because Landon’s wide play gives Cahill and Saha much more room.
Where did you read/hear Cahill’s comments? Do you have the link?
Actually, I heard that Beasley’s injury was better.
Has anyone ever noticed that Donovan looks taller in an Everton uniform than he does in MLS?
How did Everton do?
Everton won, 1-0. It was a physical and tad sloppy game, nobody on either team looked particularly awesome. Donovan was involved, and the announcers never had anything bad to say about him.
Ha, keep crunching.
Great for Jozy! I’m glad to see how he does when his mind is focused. I just don’t know why he constantly needs a push to play his best? Donovan is still showing strong games, it is hard to believe he is still new in everton, but I’m not sure if his playing on the left today was a good thing or not. Anyone else prefer him on the right for everton, and why change it around to add confusion? Also I’d like to add Robben played out of his mind today for Bayern Munich!
