Javier Aguirre stepped down as manager of the Mexican National team today. Mexico’s World Cup campaign came to an end last Sunday in Soccer City “With Aguirre Out, Who's In?”

I think I'm a little unclear on the concept of the charity competition MLS and Pepsi are putting on. At first I was a little “Charity doesn't begin at home”

Second-leg drama is the order of the day at the moment, with three of the MLS quarterfinal series having gone down to the wire. That “That second leg is a killer”

Gerard Houllier isn’t always remembered fondly by Liverpool fans. His time in charge wasn’t exactly a happy time. The style of football he played was “Goodbye Steven Gerrard”

MLS fans fall into two categories – those who hate the Galaxy, and those who will hate the Galaxy. There's just something adorable about seeing “Buddle's Treat, Galaxy's Tricks Lead to Lazy Halloween Cliche Post Titles”

Pablo Barrera has performed well against the Europeans​ Now that Mexico is in its final phase of World Cup preparation, some disquieting, but not unexpected “Mexico's Friendlies Reveal Hopes and Concerns”

Cameroon and the other African teams have not seized the moment – Andy Mead/YCJ ​ It is incredible to think that after everyone has played “Continental Disappointment”

Very similar stories in the lower division soccer world this week – the English version hilarious, the American version much less so. Let's start with “First as farce, then as tragedy; or, Joe vs. the Volcano”

EDIT – and the Seattle Sounders take crap, and make crap-ade. Giving the season ticket holders their money back for Saturday's game is just a “Buck up, little raver”

Kenn links to MLSsoccer.com so I don't have to. It's not that I'm boycotting Major League Soccer Soccer, really, it's just that it frightens and “Omnia Vincit Comedy”
