I was watching the LA vs. Vancouver MLS match, and was astounded by the brilliance of the American sportscasters. LA was winning 1-0 in the 63rd minute :
Vancouver needs to score a goal
Stephens just received his first yellow card of the match

If he had not shared the wisdom no one would have known!!!!;)
Americans should not be allowed to to do soccer sportscasting.
It’s a good sight better than the Mexican announcers, with their “Pelota this, pelota that”. Yes, we know that they play the game with a ball. Yes, we know that when they kick it is probably the ball that they’re kicking. Yes, they most certainly did score a “gol” with that infernal “pelota”.
The art of talking complete bollocks during soccer commentaries is hardly an American invention.
We Brits have a long and “proud” tradition of it. Check this lot out :

Speaking of sports! My wife’s 18 year old Grand daughter is moving here and I want to get her a Mountain / Commuter bike. What would you suggest? Send via E-mail as I might miss the comment!

Get a hybrid like this http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10871432&sizeID=8951224&cid=CSE:GooglePLAs
That is what my kids have.
Thanks! I will check it out!
I rented one in Lisbon. They are great on rough surfaces and steep hills.
Hey GG! I also have a hybrid, check out the Giant brand as well. If your granddaughter is a serious mountain biker a hybrid will disappoint, and if she is a street biker it will also disappoint. It is not as rugged as a mountain bike and not as fast as a street bike, but does a decent job for most applications.

Speaking of bike rides, I guess the press was too busy eulogizing Amy Winehouse or something, to bother reporting on this…
