BECKS AT ENGLAND TRAINING, YANKS AND ENGLISH TO FACE OFF IN POINTLESS/IMPORTANT FRIENDLY
[Back off old man!]Here's Becks at England training flashing that gazillion dollar LA smile of his.
The Sex along with the other leftover MLSers - including our lovely Maurice Edu and that Frankie Hejduk who we've given up on asking to get a haircut - have now joined up with their respective national sides to begin their training.
Not sure why but until a few days ago we'd mentally scheduled the upcoming USA v England friendly for early June. It's actually happening this Wednesday - May 28th. Forgive us - this blog is written by neither an American biatch nor an English biatch therefore we should simply just be allowed to let such things slip out of the mind every now and again.
Anyhow, we have been checking in with the Yanks over at their cute little blog: The MNT Blog. They've been kind enough to get a few Carlos photos up there for us all to waste time staring at.
Of course, the English have no such thing. Like the rest of you, we rely on unscrupulous and sometimes dishonest media sources for getting our news on them.
Just for curiosity's sake: Who are ya'll supporting in this (absolutely pointless) important friendly? Who do you think will win?

Dame, if you're neither English nor American, what the frik are you? I was under the impression you were an American living in England. No judgement or anything from me though. I'm proudly South African.
Oh and i'm supporting the three lions because i'm apathetic about all things America and I support the English league by devoting most of my weekends to watching it. My favourite european team is Spain though.
I am English but hate the England NT. Of course, it wasn't always this way. When Adams was captain I used to buy the cute little biscuits with the three lions on (and the sticker books, and the coin albums, and all that other pointless shizzle no one of any importance really gives a feck about), but now, with Rooney and L'ard and and JT and the media's constant praising of the most arrogant team in the world, it's a bit too hard.
Still will be "supporting" England, though, cos America's no better: we're just the pathetic version of the US.
I also hate David Beckham... But I also quite like him, too. Or maybe I'm just having a fun time looking at those legs.

I believe that TIET is Canadian. :)
I'll be supporting England because they have a great new manager, an excellent plan for the future, and the basis for a great side, if they can get their sh*t together and work as a team.
On David Beckham, meh. I prefer DB 2.0 - David Bentley.

I'll be proudly supporting my Yanks. I think we can win this one, and we need to so we can have confidence going into our next two friendlies against Spain and Argentina. And besides the fact that I've been supporting them since I can remember and they'll always be my #1 no matter what, there's just so much hot on the American team. :)
Hmm, I am an american living in england, but I will definitely be supporting the American team because it is particularly hilarious when the England FT lose. People go absolutely nuts over it and like, fire all the coaches.
As the fair skinned gentleman sitting behind me at the USA-Brazil World Cup '94 match said:
Let's go Ooosah! Ooosah! Ooosah!
It took my 15 year old mind 10 minutes to figure out he was cheering the USA.
That said. 3-1 Lions, unfortunately.

My vote goes to my Yanks as well. Hope the boys can pull off a win, or at least a tie.
CLB - What Jak said: Canadian.
Marooner - L'ard! Oh, lordie!
Jak - 'If' being the keyword, I'm guessing?
Rebecca - Welcome to TIET. Yeah, this would be a great win for the US. I'm really hoping Bocanegra does well in these next few as well. It might help determine where he ends up next season.
KT - Ha! Yeah, it's funny how all the blame fell squarely on McClaren last time wasn't it? JT's even been made captain again.
TFA - Oosah? I wouldn't have got it straight away either. But I have an excuse: I'm not from there :)
Elle - Welcome. They've got the underdog's will power going into this so you may very well get your wish.
