White House Denies Obama Superman Cover-Up.


Original Whitehouse.gov picture - taken down within one hour of posting.

The White House has rigorously denied any involvement in the alteration of official photographs of the US president Barack Obama, which appeared to remove evidence that President Obama was wearing a Superman T-Shirt inder his white shirt.


The alterations are said to have been made to an official photo of President Obama departing Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland en route to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina on Friday 27th Febuary 2009. An official photo of President Obama departing Marine One was published by the White House official website at 10:15am ET. However, that picture was soon taken down and replaced with an apparently re-touched photo two hours later. Gone was any evidence of a gust of wind revealing a Superman logo creeping out from under Obama's shirt.

Altered photo appeared at Whitehouse.gov two hours after original was taken down.

The White House has continued to deny that any alterations were made, and has issued a statement saying that "The purported original is in fact the forgery. We have nothing more to say on the matter."

Barcelona Miami trying to make a deal? Claure in Barcelona, announcement for today was rumoured

Miami Fans woke up this morning hoping to hear good news about the Miami Barcelona bid. Apparently meetings between MLS and Barcelona took place today and a source has indicated a deal was trying to be made. MLS really wants this bid to happen and are doing what they can to not lose it.
The Miami Herald reported that the announcement will not be made today and my friend Brant at the Orlando Sentinel goes on to say if we hear anything it will be bad news rather then good.
As I said my source tells me things have been are running as if this is a done deal for weeks now. Barcelona has even gone as far as contacting former player and coach Xabier Azkargorta to take the reigns of the Miami team, as a coach or Manager.
I'm sure more will develop as the day goes on. More to come...

Italian PM denies talk of recession.



Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has continued to fend off talk of a recession. At a recent summit held in Rome, Mr Berlusconi stated: "There is absolutely no RECESSION. In fact, I am witnessing the GREEN SHOOTS of recovery every day. GROWTH continues to get stronger and any talk of a REDUCTION is completely false. The situation remains LUSH and very, very THICK."

Barcelona Miami MLS bid still strong , but here are the possible scenarios...

Many sources have claimed Barcelona is unsure about plans to become involved in a Major League Soccer (MLS) expansion team in Miami.

Questions have come up on who will put the money for the team. It appears some claim Barcelona would split the 40 million fee but my source assures me Mr. Claure is putting the money and not Barcelona. Barcelona would put their name, experience and know how.

Why all this drama? Chief Executive Joan Oliver advised that they are moving ahead cautiously with the bid. Oliver addressed club members at a meeting last week, informing them that pursuing a joint interest in the latest MLS club was a very delicate matter at this time considering the current world financial situation. Despite this claim a few days back MLS Commissioner Garber was invited to Barcelona to discuss the bid and watch the game versus Espanol. We can only wonder and speculate but if there was any indication Barcelona Miami was out then that was the moment to do it.

As I wrote earlier there is internal strife within Barcelona. President Joan Laporta's term will be over in 2010 and it has been reported that the average Barcelona fan is weary of the MLS team because they are not very well informed about the details. Additionally Laporta has been a controversial leader and has been involved in many questionable decisions with and without the team.

As stated, none of this means the Barcelona/Claure bid is out the window. But lets discuss the worst case scenario, which would be the withdrawal of Barcelona. What would happen if this were the case? The bid would weaken no doubt, but Claure is said to be committed to this project and there have been discussions with Traffic Sports owners of the USL Miami FC who might become partners in some capacity with Barcelona and Claure should the previous two decide it convenient. There is after all a stadium ready for the team to start in 2010.



Should Barcelona drop out it would leave Claure and Traffic alone if they choose to continue, but still strong enough to contend for the expansion spot. Marcelo Claure is owner of Bolivian soccer power Bolivar and Traffic Sport besides owning Miami FC, has extensive knowledge of the sport having organized countless tournaments including the current CONCACAF 2010 world cup matches.



Having said all this, as of this moment the bid continues and the statement made by Olive might only be Barcelona's way of posturing for a better deal, considering the new revitalized Montreal bid would have many concessions such as not out right paying for the MLS entrance fee.

My source tells me there will be a meeting next week but he did not have details on what would be discussed.

More to follow.

Miami FC sells 700 Season Tickets in 1 hour

Efforts to save USL side Miami FC has begun after a meeting yesterday announcing the teams possible demise led a group of supporters to shell out 700 season tickets in 1 hour.



The following was taken from the teams site:



Miami FC held an emergency meeting last night at the Marriott Miami Airport Hotel to discuss the future of professional soccer in South Florida. Given the latest news that FC Barcelona was reevaluating its bid for an MLS expansion team that would be based in Miami, Traffic Sports, Miami FC’s ownership group, decided that immediate action must be taken in an effort to ensure that Miami FC plays in 2009 irrespective of the ultimate outcome of the MLS bid. Aaron Davidson, Vice President of Traffic Sports USA and President of Miami FC,discussed the state of professional soccer in South Florida and Traffic Sports USA’s overall desire to ensure the continuity of pro soccer in the area. However, he explained that due to a combination of disappointing support in the first three seasons and the Miami MLS bid, Traffic Sports has given the team a deadline of March 8th to demonstrate that South Florida truly cares about pro soccer.

Mr. Davidson stated that Traffic Sports was seeking both qualitative and quantitative proof of support including a target of 5,000 season tickets. The attendees immediately responded by committing to 700 tickets, letters of support and numerous promotional and sales initiatives.

“Due to the MLS bid and our ongoing discussions with Marcelo Claure and Barcelona (MLS applicants) regarding a possible partnership, Traffic/Miami FC have delayed many decisions regarding the 2009 USL-1 season. Accordingly, we must now ramp up faster than ever to secure the necessary ticket sales and sponsorship base to make the 2009 season a reality. With this in mind, we reached out to the local community to rally South Florida behind Miami FC and soccer at the professional level. We are confident that through this unprecedented community team effort we will: 1) unite South Florida around the world’s number one sport – soccer; 2) guarantee that Miami FC plays in 2009 positioning “our” team/market for growth during this fourth season and beyond; and 3) show the world that South Florida truly is a great place for professional soccer and soccer at all levels,” said Aaron Davidson.“Losing Miami as a soccer base will affect not only Miami, but Florida, and the south region for soccer. It is from Miami that we need to express that the loss of Miami FC will doom soccer in this area for a long time to come,” stated Steve McCrath, head coach of Barry University men’s soccer. “This may be the last chance to save professional soccer in South Florida. It’s nice to see that Miami FC is being proactive in keeping professional soccer in South Florida. I hope that these efforts will not be in vain. MLS coming back is a dream but it’s not a reality yet,” commented Munga Eketebi, FIU’s men’s soccer head coach.

“I strongly believe that if Miami FC leaves our town, we will be without any kind of professional soccer here for a very long time. Some of you may say, well, USL is not a premier soccer league, the MLS is better, but have you seen USL’s Montreal and Puerto Rico in CONCACAF Champions League? We do not have the MLS here and after reading the Miami Herald on Friday I am not too sure if we will see the MLS here anytime soon. So support what we have,” commented Marino Torrens, FYSA Regional A VP.”

“It is time to see if we love and cherish the sport, or if we only like it as a hobby. Turning our back on Miami FC may very well mean that in the future everyone including MLS will turn their back on us,” expressed Victor Pastora, Director of Player Development, Kendall Soccer Coalition.

“To remain a complete soccer community here in South Florida we need the leadership of a professional soccer franchise. Working together is the best way to have one,” said Tom Mulroy, President of Se Habla Fútbol and longtime organizer of Copa Latina.

Help keep professional soccer alive in South Florida and rally behind your Miami FC! Reserve your season tickets now for only $200 for adults ($100 deposit) and $100 for children and students ($50 deposit). To purchase tickets and for more information, go to

Obama speech: Liveblog



2100 (ET): Missing the first part of speech because I am writing this blog.

2104 (ET): Obama was about to detail several important issues, but I remembered I had to divert my attention and write this post instead.

2111 (ET): Can't focus on the speech. Getting really worried about my next liveblog update.

2120 (ET): Still having problems focusing on the speech. I mean, who the hell reads liveblogs anyway?

2134 (ET): Sorry, I've been away for fourteen minutes. I hope people didn't think I had stopped liveblogging. How often should I liveblog anyway?

2137 (ET): Thought there might have been a boring bit so went to write, but now I am hearing clapping. Unfortunately I missed why that might be because I was writing my liveblog.

2142 (ET): Obama made a great point about education. But I guess you heard that.

2201 (ET): Imagine if Obama liveblogged his own speech. He'd have to keep stopping and sit down by a laptop. "Just finished sentence about health-care reform. Think it went quite well. Back soon."

2207 (ET): Sorry. Been busy updating my Twitter coverage of the speech. Might have missed some of the recent parts of what Obama said. But, in my valuable opinion, it is going really well.

2209 (ET): More clapping. Just went to the bathroom. I guess you didn't need to know that.

2213 (ET): It's over. Or is it? Has Obama's challenge really just begun? I'll be liveblogging my thoughts on that later.

Former Fusion player Ian Bishop helping South Florida Youth


Former Miami Fusion player Ian Bishop was one of the most solid players the team had in its final and most succesful season. Eight years have gone by and Bishop has settled in South Florida where he now has a Soccer Academy.

Jeff Rusnack of the Sun Sentinal writes: 'Eight years removed from his one almost perfect season at Lockhart Stadium, Bishop has started the Bishbosh Soccer Academy in Parkland, where he coaches under-12 and under-13 boys' teams on a weekly basis. Known as "Bishbosh" by fans at West Ham United, where he played nine seasons, Bishop has registered 33 players who also play for various youth teams in the tri-county area.'

'Bishop's staff of coaches includes ex-Fusion teammates Ivan McKinley and Pete Marino, and veteran youth directors Tony Stevens and Gary Walker. His U-13 team just won a tournament in Weston, beating the host 3-1 in the final. The focus now is on cobbling together a side for a nine-day trip (July 26-Aug. 3) to London to play four games in the Arsenal Cup Festival.'

Ian Bishop was born on May 29, 1965 in Liverpool. He began his career at Everton. He played for a time with Crewe Alexandra, Carlisle United and Bournemouth before he signed for Manchester City in 1989. He went on to West Ham United playing 284 times between 1989 and 1998, scoring 16 goals and becoming something of a cult figure. In 1998, he returned to Manchester City. He transferred to Miami Fusion in March 2001 and played in Major League Soccer(23 apps 0 goals), before finishing his playing career with a stint at the New Orleans Shell Shockers in the USL. He now resides in Florida with his wife and children.

The name game - Jindal v Obama 2012: Why Obama Has Already Won.



While still a teenager, "Barry" Obama got rid of his Western-sounding nickname and decided that he wanted to be called Barack - his real name given to him by his Kenyan father.

From Newsweek March 31 2008: "Barry Obama decided that he didn't like his nickname. A few of his friends at Occidental College had already begun to call him Barack (his formal name), and he'd come to prefer that. The way his half sister, Maya, remembers it, Obama returned home at Christmas in 1980, and there he told his mother and grandparents: no more Barry."

***


Meanwhile, and somwhat conversely, Piyush Jindal decided it would be better to mask his own "funny name" which reflected his Punjabi Indian heritage. So, he found the most Western-sounding name he could find - "Bobby", based on the character Bobby Brady from that truly multiracial TV show The Brady Bunch (we're not making this up - see Wikipedia). Now he serves as the Republican governor of Louisiana and is viewed as one of the top GOP presidential candidates in 2012.


But the question remains: Would anyone have voted for "Steve" or "Rick" Obama, knowing that he was so ashamed of his real name that he took a white Western name from The Brady Bunch? Don't think so. Sorry, Piyush your campaign is already over.

Miami FC to fold in two weeks if ticket sales remain low.


According to the Miami Herald : In the course of a week, Miami has gone from the prospect of juggling two professional soccer teams to confronting a future with none.
Scary to think that Miami could end up without any Professional Soccer once again... but the truth is Miami FC has received little support in the few years it has had in existence. Even efforts by Traffic Sports, Owners of the club, to bring in an aging Romario who entertained with his scoring ability and footwork was not enough to materialize larger numbers at the gate. The Herald reports Miami FC averaged about 2,000 fans per game in 2008. Clearly those numbers are too low to keep this team alive.
Supporters groups such as the Miami Ultras have done their part but the community needs to rally and support this team. Right now it is all we have. Should the Barcelona Miami bid fall , which I doubt, but should it fall, then losing this already established team would seal our fate for another decade, at least. Traffic Sports has given Miami FC two weeks to prove it can get season ticket sales up to an unrealistic 5,000. If not, ownership will pull the plug. This only weeks before the start of the season.

I urge all soccer fans in Miami to support this team by pledging for season tickets. please go to Miami FC or join the Miami Ultras.

Italian League to experiment with the Orange Card... Yes, the Orange Card!


Italian Soccer will test out the Orange Card in it's league according to 20minutos.es

This card will actually expel the player for a few minutes off the field giving the opposing team a momentary advantage. I guess it will kind of be like Hockey.

Pierluigi Collina, who some of you may remember a few years back as the bald ref who was considered the best in the world, and the International Football Association Board (IFAB), organization within FIFA that regulates the rules of this sport will study implementing this rule this coming February 28 in Manchester.

The idea was brought on by the Northern Ireland Federation who set out to find a solution for infractions where the red card would be too severe and the yellow too weak of a punishment.

The Italian League is also looking into the possibility of the double Referee. They seem willing to try anything.

If any League should be the testing ground for these experiments it should be Major League Soccer, I mean we used to have the shoot out for christ sakes!

Troubled automaker General Moters has announced plans to reverse its fortunes by investing $10 billion in the VHS video market. "We beilieve that DVDs have not yet entirely shown that they are the future," said GM CEO Rick Wagoner at a press conference "The VHS market is sturdy and we at GM believe that this is where our future lies."


Wagoner further stunned the assembled audience gathered at GM's headquarters in Detrioit, Michigan by announcing that the company will limit itself to producing 30 minute videotapes, rather than the more common 180 minute or even 240 minute tapes. "Time will tell, but I think that it is the right choice" said Wagoner of the decision.

If today's Republicans had been around at key points in human civilization...



By around 46BC, the Romans had sewage systems to drain waste from homes. In the 19th century major cities undertook projects to create sewage systems for most homes.

Republicans: "Can you believe this? The government is actually going to spend money on connecting each home to a series of pipes just to take away human waste! Let's just have some tax cuts and keep the government out of people's homes!"


Also in the 19th century, cities begin to develop water supply infrastructures, which also hark back to Roman times...

Republicans: "Leave the market to meet supply and demand. Why waste money on a crazy system of pipes when the wells we have are full and aren't ever going to run out. Let those who can afford such systems pay for them, and the rest can trickle down to everyone else."



The late 18th century - the idea of the steam locomotive starts to lead to the creation of a railway transport infrastructure.

Republicans: "Are we really going to waste money on some pie-in-the-sky scheme to connect far off places by building miles and miles of railway lines? Let's just have some tax cuts and stick to horses!"


The notion of an education system for children and older students has existed since around 1500BC, perhaps earlier...

Republicans: "You want to take away my child for hours each day to be indoctrinated and controlled by government forces - and you want my tax dollars to pay for it? Then you've got a serious fight on your hands, mister! Tax cuts would allow families to spend more on educating their own children."


In 1881, the world's first electricity distribution system was established in Godalming, England when a generator supplied power to street lights. In the ensuing decades electricity grids spread throughout the world.

Republicans: "Am I hearing this right? You want to waste my money on some crazy scheme to connect each and every home with copper wires? Sounds like a communist mind-control plot. Count me out. Tax cuts would be far better."


In the early 19th century, the invention of the electrical telegraph spurs the eventual invention of the telephone.

Republicans: "You want what?! A system of cables so that the government can listen to me in my home. You've got a fight on your hands, mister. Now let's quit this crazy talk and pour ourselves a nice round of tax cuts instead."


Trails lead to paths and they lead to roads. In 1956, Republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower appropriates $25 billion for the construction of highways in the US. A similar boom takes place across much of the developed world folowing the success of the automobile.

Republicans: "$25 billion!?!?! Are you crazy? My taxpayer money is being spent on concrete? Are we living in communist Russia? Tax cuts would build far more..."



Today: Ideas for new grids to transport green energy; new kinds of green energy; electric cars that could be recharged just by plugging them in to your power socket at home...

Republicans: "No, no, no, no, NO!!!! This is socialism! I want a f***ing TAX CUT!!!"



It just would have been the same thing all over again...

Baroque Obama... "Yes, we can!"


And Earl Limbaugh... "No, we shouldn't!"

Barcelona Miami in Danger? Sorry Haters, not true according to inside source...



According to some of my fellow Bloggers Barcaloco and one of my favorites MLSenespañol . The Miami Franchise is in danger. MLS en Español's source is SportsES who has an interview with the General Director of the club Mr Olive who states that due to these financial times there is a chance the project will not go forward.

Well, it was my understanding that Brightstar owner Marcelo Claure was the main investor who is going to fork out the $40 million big ones and not Barcelona.

So I did a little digging, a phone call and an anonymous source close to Mr. Brightstar confirmed that though Mr. Olive speaks for FC Barcelona he is not the one who has the last word. Everything is still on course folks, Marcelo Claure is the one putting the loot. Barcelona is putting the know how and years of experience and they are what makes the bid strong, but it is no secret that there is internal posturing within Barcelona, especially since La Porta's term ends in 2010. Rest assured my source tells me La Porta and Claure are the main characters in this drama and as far as Marcelo Claure is concerned he is not backing out.

More to come...

FC Dallas Spanks FIU


Major League Soccer's FC Dallas spanked Florida International University (FIU) today 9-0. (Ouch!)

In FIU's defence they haven't practiced much. Still, Kenny Cooper scored all 4 of his goals in the 2nd half. The game was played at the Cricket Stadium in Sunrise, FL. I guess the Turf at FIU stadium was a no-no.
Goals were scored by Dax McCarty (Jeff Cunningham) at minute17 Peri Marosevic (Pablo Ricchetti) 24, Steve Purdy (Dax McCarty) 43, Kenny Cooper (Jamie Watson) 58, Kenny Cooper (Andre Rocha) 59, Jamie Watson (unassisted) 61, Kenny Cooper (Blake Wagner) 73, Kenny Cooper (Sean Bucknor) 83, Brek Shea (Jamie Watson) 88.

I think FIU will need to "GO" practice a little more. I dedicate this Tones on Tail's song called "Go" appropriately enough, to the FIU players. Incidentally there is a lot of spanking in this video. Check it out!

Newsifact investigation reveals the one thing left in America that still works.

David Beckham vs Alex Rodriguez, I'm tired of both!


I don't know about you guys but I'm sick of both A-Rod and Becks. Too many stories, blogs and rants. Enough information every day for anyone in their right mind to lose it and go postal!
But since everyone is doing it... I figured, why not? Don't hate me.

The U.S. sports focus has been on Baseball star Alex Rodriguez and his Steroid use. But the rest of the world doesn't seem to care. The big news is David Beckham wanting to stay with AC Milan.
One of the most credible News sources... The Onion pokes fun at Soccer all the time, going as far as classifying it under "Women's Sports / Soccer".

Here is their latest gem:

Terrible Sports Editor Wants To Lead With Beckham, AC Milan Story
PHOENIX—Lousy Arizona Ledger weekly sports section editor Gene Crewdson "went with his [idiotic] gut" once again Thursday, deciding to ignore what may be the biggest steroid scandal yet and lead with David Beckham's decision to leave the U.S. and play for AC Milan. "'Beckham Bends It Back Overseas' is our story, boys," Crewdson said to his staff of writers, all of whom stared back at him, mouths agape, for nearly a minute. "Big-name celebrity doing controversial big-time things with a big color picture on the cover. Soccer's the sport of the future. This is obviously what we run with." When gently reminded of recent baseball news, Crewdson responded that nobody cares about steroids anymore, it's not baseball season, and in this economy you do not want to risk missing the big story.

FIU midfielder Juan Guerra battles to stay with FC Dallas


MLS has reduced team rosters from 28 to 24 players this year and this has reduced FIU's own Juan Guerra's chances of landing a spot on a Major League Soccer team. Undrafted out of college, Guerra hooked up with FC Dallas and is in camp with the team in Sunrise this week. According to the Miami Herald

''It's a difficult situation,'' said FC Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman. "Juan is like a lot of players who fall into the trap of roster cutdowns.
"But he has good technical ability, athleticism and is skillful around the ball. If he doesn't hook on with us, he needs to get with a [lower-level] team, continue to develop and get noticed.''
For his part, Guerra is just happy to have a shot. He is continuing his studies at FIU and played for Soccer Locker at Copa Latina last weekend.

"Jackie Chan" Richardson to Toronto FC


So what is up with all the celebrity names going to MLS as of late? First "John Kennedy" to Seattle now it's "Jackie Chan"!

Guyanese international striker Gregory "Jackie Chan" Richardson is set to sign for Toronto FC and become the first Guyanese to play in Major League Soccer (MLS) as he wrapped up his one week training session with the team in Miami, Florida.
Twenty-six-year-old Richardson came to prominence last year during the CONCACAF club Championship with his Trinidad and Tobago Pro-League club Joe Public when he devastated MLS top club New England Revolution scoring four goals in his club win. He also single-handedly ripped apart several other top clubs in the tournament. Several international news agencies linked the striker with moves to New England Revolution and other top MLS clubs including Columbus Crew and San Jose Earthquakes.

John Kennedy to Seattle Sounders

Colombian Defender John Kennedy Hurtado, 24 has signed with Major League Soccer's new franchise Seattle Sounders according to Enlajugada.com .

Hurtado was on trial with AC Milan for 3 weeks with permission from his former team Deportivo Cali. Though he impressed he was not held on a team full of stars such as Maldini, Pato, Ronaldinho, Kaká and Beckham. While in Europe he was close to signing with Swiss side Grasshoppers but visa issues stood in the way.

Now Hurtado seems to be headed to Seattle to play along his former teammate Freddy Montero.
