Mondays are always hectic in the soccer reader’s world. Tons of weekend review articles mixed with the pithy opinion pieces might have you overlook the salt-of-the-earth greatness that keeps the internet linking. So SB Nation Soccer would like to present you with ours - links, that is - the quality content that isn’t featured on the main page but is available through the myriad of community blogs available through SB Nation.
Best Of SB Nation Soccer, From September 13, 2010
- Dynamo Theory’s Zach Woosley’s weekly feature, Monday Morning Centre Back, wraps-up what turned into a bye week for Houston, which allows me space for this disclaimer: The column title in no way intimates Zach will speak of a 10,000 chain coffee shop as if it were some foreign extravagance. He won’t talk to you about his cat’s field hockey tournaments and he wont regale you with top ten lists that have thirty items. Zach gives you Dynamo and MLS talk. Well, maybe a cat reference.
- Ted Harwood of The Short Fuse tackles (no pun intended) to issue of deliberate fouls targeting Arsenal players. In his piece, Opinion: on fouling an intent, Ted opines on the mounting coincidences surrounding Arsenal’s players, whether it be Cahill on Chamakh, Robinson on Diaby, Shawcross on Diaby, Taylor on Eduardo, or just the general suspicion that tackles carry an ulterior intention when targeting Arsenal footballer.
- It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Denz at RSL Soapbox is doing his part to bring attention to the cause. RSL supporter group The Royal Pride has created a great piece of gear to support the initiative and ... damn it, I’m buying one. No, four - I’ll give three away on the Major League Soccer Talk podcast. But first, all I need to do is email Chelsey Copsey at theroyalpride at gmail dot com to get more information on how to order.
- Chris White at Burgundy Wave (what’s Burgundy Wave, you ask? Stay tuned ...) take note of the best size-speed combination in Major League Soccer, a player that has gone remarkably overlooked over the last two years. But that’s why we have the Burgundy Wave, to let us know when Colorado Rapids players like Omar Cummings are on pace for greatness.
- Ah, the great possession debate. For some, it’s everything, as Graham at We Ain’t Got No History. For others, means nothing. As with most things in life, the information’s probably only as valuable as how you use it.
