Transfer news first, and contrary to recent postings in this 
newsgroup the fee Liverpool are to pay for England U21 goalkeeper
DAVID JAMES has NOT been agreed.  Watford want 1.5 million, 
Liverpool have offered 800,000.  The date of the tribunal has 
been set for 18th August - due to officials from both clubs
being on holiday.  Hopefully, Watford will get a realistic
payment this time.  Liverpool have ripped us off before - 
back when they only coughed 900,000 for John Barnes in 85/86.

In the market for a new goalkeeper as a result of James's departure
Perryman has secured the signature of PERRY SUCKLING from Crystal
Palace to be the first choice this season.

The Hornets have signed 23 year old PAUL FURLONG from Coventry 
City.  The ex-Enfield striker, who turned professional last year
made 19 full appearances for Coventry last year, scoring five times.

Striker Andy Kennedy has been given a free transfer.

Watford are set to pick up 150,000 when the transfer of Brentford
striker and former Hornet Dean Holdsworth to Wimbledon is finalised.

With money to spend, Watford are still in the market for a striker
and have been linked with Devon White (Cambridge), Paul Williams
(Sheff Wed), John Robinson (Brighton), Kevin Bartlett and Paul 
Harding (both Notts County).

Nigel Gibbs has been given a testimonial year by the Hornets.  The 
long serving right back, who signed for the club when he was fifteen
has been at Watford for over ten years.  His first team debut was
against Sparta Prague in the second leg of an EC3 third round tie
which the Hornets lost 4-0 (what a great night that was...)

Watford have been touring the West Country (In search of teams to 
beat @-]) at part of their pre-season warmup.  The results I have
so far are:  

Elburton Villa 0 Watford 2 (Lavin, Butler)
Dawlish 0 Watford 7 (Furlong 4, Ashby, Porter, Hessenthaler)
Buckfastleigh 0 Watford 4 (Furlong 2, Nogan, McLaughlin)

No doubt these games are excellent preparation for Saturday's
game against mighty Tottenham, before we open the season against
Millwall on the 8th.

Hmmmm, could we possibly have seen different matches?  Egypt played
very well against the Netherlands, completely taking them by surprise.
I didn't think it was destructive at all.  Come to think of it, didn't
Egypt score FOUR goals against Columbia yesterday?   How could they
have achieved that through "destructive" means?  I've seen goals
prevented through destructive means before (Harald Schumacher, where
are you?), but I've yet to see goals being scored destructively,
especially FOUR of them.

Francis, et. al.

	The new rule says the keeper cannot pick up the ball from any pass 
made to him/her by a teammate. Period. End of sentence. NO EXCEPTIONS.

	NO ONE, except the referee can truly make a judgement regarding the 
2nd goal in the EC Final. And, more importantly, his is the one that counts. 
Now, before everyone screams about Maradona's goal, a verifiable handling 
offence, let me point out that the handling was seen, but not called. In all, 
that may be the truly more horrid offence (that it was not called). And, 
unless any of us have been on the field as referee, we can only comment but 
must conclude that the referee did a good job. (The players didn't even 
complain with any fervor. They seemed to think it was ok. The point being the 
call was made and accepted by those closest to the action. We can then only 
attempt to clarify for our own peace of mind.)

Norwegian Cup 4th round (22/7):
===============================

Fredrikstad(D1)		Stroemsgodset(D1)	0 - 4
Kongsvinger		Fana(D1)                5 - 2 
Lillestroem		Lyn         		3 - 2 
Melhus(D2)		Bodoe/Glimt(D1)		1 - 2 
Mjoendalen		Stjoerdals/Blink(D1)   	1 - 0
Start			Rosenborg  		0 - 1 a.e.t
Tromsoe			Fyllingen(D1)		2 - 2 a.e.t
Vaalerengen(D1)		Viking			1 - 3

 I attended the last match together with 2.700 others. The game was
more even than the scoreline suggests (at least in the first half),
but Viking was simply more consistent both when it came to defending
and putting away their chances , as a premier league team should be.

 The replay between Tromsoe and Fyllingen will be played next Wednesday (29/7),
whereas the quarter-finals will be played on August 12. The draw:

Kongsvinger		Bodoe/Glimt(D1)
-Interesting tie between a high-scoring premier side and an even more
 high-scoring first division leader. KIL is by the way the only remaining 
 club yet to have been in a Cup final.

Rosenborg		Stroemsgodset(D1) 
-Last years two finalists meet again. This time in the quarterfinal.
 Rosenborg should get their revenge especially since the game is played
 at Lerkendal.

Viking			Mjoendalen
-Last years champion has a good chance of reaching the semifinals and
 maybe salvage their indifferent season.

Tromsoe/Fyllingen(D1)	Lillestroem
-Lillestroem should go through independent of which team they face,
 even away from home.

from the first division (second last year).
I was wondering if anyone had a list of these games or have they not been chosen yet.

I also heard that the london clubs had said no to a deal with london itv, so
does this mean that all the live midland games will only involve midland clubs, or just matches where the home club is a midlands one??

The london clubs refused because they were offered only 10,000 a live game, which did not cover the costs and losses for being moved to a sunday.

I agree that the decisions of the UEFA are hard to understand like for
instance giving the EC 96 to England. I think their decision not to let
every country allowing to play in the EC is also based on the fact that 
their is a problem of too many teams taking part. I don't understand why
Albania is not in the EC. I can understand that parts in Yugoslvia (what
it used to be) are not taking part in the European Cups. The least you can
ask from a country is that a match can safely played there or that it is
reachable in a normal way. Last year with Red Star playing its matches
in Hungary was really ridiculous. If not even a normal competition can
be played in Yugoslavia then how to play EC matches. So in case of
yugoslvia they took a fair decision. What happend to the USSR is a
different case. Russia will take the place of GOS in the qualification
matches for the WC 94. Wy not the 'oekraine' (don't know the spelling)
which is the strongest part from the GOS? 

The UEFA officials should indeed be examined. Their decisions are mostly
dictator like and hard to understand.

According to the report in the UK on the tv (where the camera missed the
action), the commentator reckoned the indirect free-kick was for the
keeper taking more than 4 steps (which FIFA are meant to be clamping
down on apparently - about time too!). That looked more likely from

Hi,
	I just relocated to the north suburbs of Chicago and I would
like to know if somebody knows of any leagues/teams that play frequently
around here.  I would like to know even if it is a  little far, I was
used to play 3 times a week in Cleveland.

	Please answer me to my e-mail because we are not yet hooked to
the Internet and I have to access the net via long-distance 8-(.  Any
help and tips will be highly appreciated.

	By the way, I went yesterday to watch the Chicago Cup.

the results are:   Guadalajara, Mexico 0 - Lithuania National 2
                   USA Select          2 - Polish team (???)  7

In my oppinion Soldier Field is very narrow, it looked like the fields I
used to play in in high-school and college.  So much for an openning
stadium for the WORLD CUP.....

Greetings,

Carlos

I was surprised when I came here to hear soccer called an 'Olympic sport' 
(a demeaning term for sports that are not big draws).  Basketball and
baseball are not considered 'Olympic sports'.  In my mind soccer is not
an Olympic sport, and it is about time it stopped being.  I think most
soccer fans couldn't care less about Olympic soccer.

You don't need a field. You can play football in your living room.
Also you don't need a ball, you can play with almost anything. As
goal you can use the clothes that you doesn't wear during the match
anyway. And you can play on any surface.

To play basketball you need a ball that can bounce, a basket placed
higher than yourself and a surface that alllows the ball to bounce.
I have to admit that basketball is perfect for playing when sitting
down. But don't tell me that football isn't the cheapest team sport
around :-).
