I am sitting on the fence on this call ...

An Olympic Fencer Refuses To Leave The Floor

In the match that would decide who would fence for the gold, Germany's Britta Heidemann landed a match-clinching touch. But was it in time? South Korea's Shin A Lam didn't think so. So she refused to leave.

We are back and with a reinvented new podcast! The "Off The Bench Podcast" will give you the latest rundown on all your sport needs and hopefully some funny commentary to entertain and inform you with some of the best athletes and analysts in the game.

On this episode of the Off The Bench Podcast, we interview Detroit Lion's Linebacker Justin Durant (@JDurant52) about the competition in training camp, the controversy surrounding the Lions, and where the Nas album rates. I also interview Marcel Mutoni (@Marcel_Mutoni) of Slam Magazine's online site slamonline.com about Steve Nash and other off season trades, as well as the Olympics.

Remember to respond to the contest question in the podcast @Jrthewriter or Jrthewriter@gmail.com for your chance to win a 2012 mens Olympic basketball shirt.

Scored an OG

Def did, I love Keon but he doesn't really fit that Union system well if they're playing Hoppenot and Jack who are to really fast guys who just like big lobs over the top.  Keon plays too forward and would like to see him facilitate the midfield a little more.

« on: July 15, 2012, 07:03:21 AM »
I agree! I'm very excited about this marketing collaboration.  I hope W connection can stun the Sounders and really make a good Champion's league impression.  Trini hasn't had the cup since what 1985? Let's take on Chelsea in the world club cup!

W Connection is not in the same group as the Sounders, that's the job of Cali AIA! I am looking forward to that game and I would be cheering on Cali hoping that they at least make it competitive.

Big Up!

I meant in the finals! ;) lol.
No, but thanks for the correction.  I put 500 bucks away hoping the Union were going to win their Semi Final match and play in the U.S. Open Cup finals in Seattle.  Maybe now I'll use that cash and go see AIA play! Do you live in Seattle?

He is currently on trial with RTS Widzew Łódź, of the Ekstraklasa (Polish First Division). He will be playing tomorrow against Polonia Bytom.



Nice! Thanks Tallman!  :beermug:

Julius James signs contract extension with the Columbus Crew.
Goal.Com.


The Columbus Crew announced that they have signed defender Julius James to a multi-year contract extension. Per league policy, no financial terms of the deal were disclosed.

James, a 26-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago, was signed by the Crew in the offseason after being waived by DC United. He started the team's first 15 matches before being sidelined with an injury.

“I am extremely happy to have the organization have that much confidence and interest in me that I have been asked to re-sign,” James said.

“I love Columbus, the fans, my teammates and the organization, and I feel it is a blessing that six months ago I was waived by a team and six months later one of the best teams in the league offers me a contract extension.”

James was originally drafted ninth overall by Toronto in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Connecticut. He has also played for Houston in his MLS career.

“We saw something in Julius before we brought him here,” said Crew head coach Robert Warzycha. “I think he’s a well-proven defender in the league and he obviously blended in very well. We’ve had some success with him [in the lineup] so it makes sense to keep him longer.”

Sorry I haven't been on the forum much lately (Like y'all have noticed -__-) working the new 9-5 fresh out of college, and it's made me an old man.  I'm ecstatic to see 2 Trini teams in the champion's league and hope to bring home a cup for the first time in more than 25 years. 

I just had a Polish friend read this article for me and according to him, it states that the club will not renew William's contract who was on loan with them last season.  In the 9 games he played, Williams scored 1 goal and also had an assist.  The team won their last game of the season which lead them to a promotion to the premiere Polish league.

In all honesty, they may want to hope for the  2 and 3rd spots lol.  Winning a CFU championship would be nice and I know that's the goal, but Seattle is good as hell this year.  Really wanna see a Trini team in that Champioin's league final, but Seattle will make that hard...
