Sack of the week I see the disreputable and desperate Jesus Gil, the owner of Atletico Madrid, is at it again in Spain. Atletico has tumbled to 18th place out off 22 teams with only 10 points in as many matches. Gil, known for his quick trigger, had axed Fernando Zambrano earlier this season. That's the president's decision. He has the qualities necessary to get the club out of this situation.
Chip shots Double play.
Here's a first. Rich Schneider of the U.S. Soccer communications department sent members of the media covering the above match two photos of the National Stadium in Barbados, so we would know what to expect. Another good move. Don't know if anyone else noticed, but the WUSA misspelled the name of Brazilian midfielder Sissi on the screen during player introductions on Thursday. Her name was misspelled Sisi.
