Monday July 13th
 

I should have pushed the button on Avai and Internacional yesterday, we had first half goals at Recife, Corinthians won easily, Rickie Fowler edged home in Scotland , Zach Johnson came within a whisker of winning at the John Deere and we were close to a classic day, but it was certainly profitable and one which provided a lot of excitement anyway .
 

 

These two met in Kansas on Sunday in the final day of the regular season, victory for Sporting would have secured 3rd place in the Eastern Conference and given them this midweek off and a chance to rest some injured players and very tired legs. They held a special team meeting at the end of training on Saturday to talk about the importance of the game, how they needed the win and to take some momentum into the post season......on Sunday, they did not show up and the Red Bulls won 2-0.

I sent subscribers a J-League (yesterday) and Brazil Seri A (today), restart stats update and detailed what we expect to happen in those two leagues over the coming months and we have very firm opinions on both.

 

This has been a very busy midweek, two newsletters yesterday, three today and another three scheduled BEFORE the weekend ! These include our first Football League preview of the new season, which will be ready on Friday afternoon.
