City scored a second successive away win against Sheffield Wedensday on
Saturday, beating the Owls 3-0. City were playing without Niall Quinn,
sitting out the first game of his three match ban, but there was no problem
with goals as David White scored two to bring his total to seven, making
him top scorer in the Premier League. The first came from an indirect free
kick awarded rather harshly for what the referee saw as a passback, but
seemed more of a deflection off a defender back towards the keeper. Reid
touched the kick to White, who blasted the ball home. The second City goal
came from a Michel Vonk header, and White topped off a solid performance
towards the end.  City now seem to be getting it together, and have taken
ten points from the last twelve. Next game is at home against Middlesbrough
on Saturday, with the Blues looking for early revenge after the 2-0 defeat
at Ayresome Park. The first leg of the Coca Cola Cup tie against Bristol
Rovers is on the 23 Sept at Maine Road.

Cheers,

US Soccer (nee USSF) does not get to "ratify" decisions of the International Board
on changes to the Laws of the Game - the new Laws have been in effect since July 25
at all levels of affiliated play.  In the USA, college (NCAA) and high school (Nat'l
Federation) have their own rule books that are basically similar to FIFA in fouls & 
misconduct, offside, etc., but usually a year behind on changes.  (This is due to
FIFA's Law changes being announced in late June, and the college-high school rule
books for the subsequent fall-winter seasons having been printed months before that.)
You can expect to see this year's FIFA Law changes (foot pass to keeper, goal/free
kick from anywhere in the goal area, etc.) implemented there next year.  Instructions
to referees regarding punishment for encroachment, cracking down on timewasting, etc.,
are *not* changes in the college-high school rules, and, IMHO, should be carried out
in all competitions.

Bob

"Lech" made a Chicago appearance in late July and won the "Chicago Cup",
showing the capability of scoring at will against the "US Select Squad"
that played them in the final game.  They showed great versatility and
scored from all over the field (I think the final score was 7-1 or so).

I heard an interview with the Norwegian coach Egil Olsen this morning.
He had just analyzed the match Holland-Italy (2-3) on video and he was not
too impressed by the Dutch defense.
Olsen indicated that he probably will use a 3-5-2 formation just like
against San Marino last week. (Earlier he has talked about 4-5-1.)
Changes in the squad : 
Ola By Rise replaces Frode Grodaas (Keeper)
Frank Strandli replaces Jan Fjortoft (Attacker)
By Rise is not likely to play, but Strandli may be preferred ahead of 
Jostein Flo in the attack.

All the tickets for the Holland-match were sold out last Friday, and there
is a growing fotball-mania in Norway now. Watch out, Holland !!

Wow, if this scheme works, and if the newly renamed Croat and Serbian teams

It seems to me as if certain individuals are competing on rss to
see who will post the most incoherent garbage on the net. Although
they may feel great about their articles, it irritates lots of
other people and I sure hope that people would be slightly more
considerate before they post stuff that doesn't make sense.

If people wish to see how well they can swear, then maybe rss is 
the wrong place to do this. Rss has been one of the few sources
where one could get up to date info on football from this part of
the globe and I hope it doesn't degenerate into a forum for people
who seem to have woken up on the wrong side of their beds.

The Norwegian coach Egil Olsen has picked out this team for tonight's WC match
against San Marino in Oslo.

Goal: Erik Thorstvedt (Tottenham)

Defense: Tore Pedersen (IFK Goteborg)
         Roger Nilsen (Viking)
         Rune Bratseth (Werder Bremen)

Midfield: Oivind Leonhardsen (Rosenborg)
          Gunnar Halle (Oldham)
          Kjetil Rekdal (Lierse)
          Erik Mykland (Start)
          Mini Jakobsen (Young Boys)

Attack: Goran Sorloth (Rosenborg)
        Jostein Flo (Sogndal)

Halle is back after one year of injuries, and Bratseth has pushed out 
Henning Berg from Sweden-match in August(2-2).
Some surprises: Thorstvedt was preferred ahead of Frode Grodaas, in spite of
his problems in Tottenham. Flo was preferred ahead of Fjortoft in attack, 
because of his good head-play.However he is not likely to play the matches
against Holland and England, where a 4-5-1 formation is more appropriate.

Am I the only person who noticed a strange date for this article? Was it
really sent in Dec 1969?

I know Liverpool signed a new goalkeeper, but was Bruce Groblaar sent to
the reserves or sold? May this is as obsolete a question as the date the
