Soccer News of the Week:
* Just when you thought Tim Howard couldn’t be more awesome, the goalkeeper extraordinaire for Everton and the USMNT actually scored a bloody goal! Windy conditions helped lift and twist a long ball Howard cleared from his own box over the head of a surprised Bolton keeper during Wednesday’s Premier League match.
Howard didn’t look too happy about the feat, and explained his subdued reaction to Sky Sports: “I was delighted that we were in the lead and would hopefully go on to get three points, but it’s not a nice feeling for a keeper. It’s really awful actually. I’ve been there before, a long, long time ago, and that was why I didn’t celebrate.”
* A pathetic Manchester United side dropped more points, losing 3-0 to Newcastle United on Wednesday. The champions looked simply awful, as Newcastle dominated possession and the bulk of scoring opportunities. First-choice Manchester keeper, Anders Lindegaard, could do little about the goals – two exceptional shots from Demba Ba and Yohan Cabaye were followed by an own-goal from Phil Jones.
* Put the rumors to rest. David Beckham will not be leaving Los Angeles after all. The deal with Paris-St. Germain is off; the British superstar reportedly cited family reasons for turning down the French side’s lucrative offer. This is great news for the MLS, which would suffer from a considerable drop in handsome (and skill, as well as global awareness) if Becks left the league.
