AZ v Udinese LIVE
It seems like a great day to show some love to the gals and dudes stuck at nasty ol' work. Kickoff is just after the top of the hour, and today's presentation will be one of detail.Your line-ups for this Europa League round-of-16 tie opener:Esteban; Ma...
If I’m not mistaken, that makes 10 Eredivisie goals.
Dontcha just love how I manage to say "I told you so" without actually saying it? Yes, Jozy Altidore has fulfilled my transfer day guarantee by burying a turnaround hook shot to put AZ up 2-0 just before halftime. In fact, he's proven it timid by hitting the number with 10 1/2 games left in...
The Return of Goalzy (updated again)
Well, well, well. Jozy Altidore is back in the AZ line-up and back on the scoresheet, with a nifty spin job putting the home side up 1-0 on form team Heerenveen. The strike was his second in as many games against the Friesians, his eighth in the Erediv...

How do you like them oranges?
As everyone races to confirm Barcelona as the best soccer side ever, Diego Maradona has some news for all: they couldn't touch the 1974 Dutch national team."I have not often fallen out of my chair, but that happened watching the Dutch team in 1974," Maradona told Sport 360.

A coupla tidbits
Unfortunately, not fun items...I've been told, for now, Ricardo Clark's Danish interest seems to have dissapated. His salary seems to be an issue at times, with this being one of them. I'm not sure what's next for him. Just when it appeared ex-Crew fre...
Back in the groove (updated)
On a night when AZ starter Charlison Benschop bagged a hat trick, late sub Jozy Altidore has come on to hit a brace of his own, capping a 6-0 win at ADO Den Haag. They were both simple finishes, coming less than three minutes apart.Jozy had been withou...
From the "stuff you’ll know once you read this" file…
You didn't actually think I'd shut my yap just because some windows closed, did you?I can report that Ryan Nelsen was considering a return to D.C. United when Tottenham swopped in at the last minute. I can also tell you he still plans to come back to t...
Let’s get this party started right.
As in summer, there will soon be a transfer deadline ticker over at MLSS, which I'll be stocking with as much scene-setting and deal-clinching as we can find.Since that won't begin for an hour or so, let's kick off the day with a couple bits. First off...
