Quakes Drop match to Revs; The Quick Re-Birth of WSD?

The Quakes took on the Revs today, but lost another one (2-1 Revs).  The game was scoreless about 2/3 through the game, but then the Revs got 2 goals and went up 2-nil.  Ramon Sanchez did knock in a nice header for his first MLS goal close to the end of regulation eliminating Reis' clean sheet.  Up next for the Q's are a couple of non-league games (9/4 vs Copa Alianza All-Stars and 9/8 vs CD Aguila).  My guess is that these games will be games for the Quakes reserves.  Next MLS game will be against Colorado at Buck Shaw on 9/18.

Rebirth as "World Football Daily"

well - less than a week ago, World Soccer Daily ended (the only daily football talk show in America) due to controversial comments by host Steven Cohen with regards to the Hillsborough 96 tragedy.  Yesterday it was announced that WSD would return as "WFD" under a different format (no advertisers, but listener supported through "subscription".  I think that this show is great for football in the US.  I just have to make a personal decision as to whether to make the financial commitment for a subscription or not.  (It is a nominal amount, but cash doesn't grow on trees).  we'll see.
