Winston Churchill once said "play the game for more than you can afford to lose... only then will you learn the game." No truer words have ever been spoken by a peremptory blowhard trying to fulfill the motherland's imperious wishes. But enough about my disdain for Mr. Churchill, if it wasn't for him, I'm sure WWII would've had an alternate ending. I bring him up because that quote inspired me. Not from a political standpoint, but actually from the view of sports. This Tuesday is the SuperLiga final, resulting from an all MLS final. New England Revolution against the Houston Dynamo; they faired well against some of Mexico's top teams; Pachuca, Guadalajara, Atlante, and Santos. Of course when something like this happens there's always a limiting factor. Derisive Sports Illustrated writers never want to heed to it in their criticism of the Mexican teams.

Well of course the Mexican teams are not going to do as well as the American teams if they [the Mexican teams] are in preseason and the American teams are in mid season! So far it seems that is the only way an American team can beat a Mexican team. The only time I have seen an American team beat a Mexican team, when all the top players were playing from both teams, was one time, during the World Cup in France. Any other time and it has been quite dolorous for the American team. I find it quite silly for two rivals not to meet under any other circumstances. I mean you wouldn't have the rangers and the celts meet under temperate circumstances would you? So lets have these silly squabbles cease until we actually see some freaking good games. I for one am going to look forward to the SuperLiga final, I will be rooting for NE Revs, I am a little disappointed that Chivas (Guad) didn't make it, but that is okay.
