On the subject of MLS, did anyone else catch the Chicago-MetroStars game today? Can anyone explain why the Chicago keeper stayed on the pitch after grabbing a MS player by the face and throwing him into the goal netting? In any other league, surely that would have warranted a red card.

The most amusing thing was the stupid announcer, saying "I don't know what he said or did for the keeper to react like that", like it was the player's fault. What a crock. Normally I don't mind the MLS announcers but that was beyond the pale.

So anyhow, I'm going to go downtown and grab someone by the face, and throw them into a wall. Obviously it will get me a stern warning from a policeman, at best.

Was Thorton in goal for Chicago?

I think that's the guy. Zach Thornton. He's the one who's a violent maniac, right? That's him.

The guy he assaulted is an Argentine player on loan from (I think they said) Boca Juniors. Another dumb comment from the announcer was to the effect that the guy "is new to the MLS and probably doesn't know who Zach Thornton is. Well, he knows now." Guffaw, guffaw. Back in high school I might've laughed.

I think that if Steve Morrow gets a move back to an English side he might have a good chance of a Northern Ireland recall. He could fit in well with Aaron Hughes at Centre Back and could provide valuable experience for the younger players. On a Canadian note, it's nice to see Onstad with a decent side.
