 Happy Tuesday

Wow, what a crazy holiday Monday in the world of international soccer. Man City gets a new owner and promptly outspends Roman Abromavich and Chelsea for Brazilian star Robinho. Man United goes ahead with the purchase of Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham, allowing them to finalize two other signings and take a ManU player in on loan. American starlet Michael Bradley goes from Herenveen to the Bundesliga. What a nutzo Monday it was while Hillcrest vacationed. Former Wizards striker Eddie Johnson also made his newest debut, appearing late for Cardiff City in the English League Championship. Check out the notables from Saturday's match at San Jose below.
