You are absolutely right Emil- it is a friendly.

I had just been reading an article about the TV for the US-Mexico qualifier and had that on my brain.

Thanks. And mea culpa.

good on him

Good for him. But I wish it wouldn’t interfere with our schedule (it would be great to see him play Barca)

rock on mike, hopefully Montero will WRECK el salvador, columbia will pick Montero up and use his skills to magically qualify for the WC (which I dont know if they are even in the running anymore)

Hello Sounders, Becks checking in.

I know a lot of you soccerball fans have been asking about my run-in with that LA supporter the other week, so I’m reaching out to fans around the MLofS to explain things. First off, what a laugh. I think the phrase, “I would have punked his bitch ass” is best used to describe what would have happened if Pie-Boy had made it over the fence. “Riot Squad”, that’s what these hard-core FC Gluttony fans call themselves: I’ve seen more threatening crews in the check-out line at Toy ‘R Us. Look lads, when you’ve stepped on Diego Simone’s package and lived to tell the tale, a bunch of Venice-beach graphic designers who bought a job-lot of scarves and can chant “Who Are Ya?”, does not make The Becks quake.

Anywhoo, in other news I just got my new Aston Martin today…….luvvly leavur. We English do some things really well: car interiors are one of them. Whipping in balls to the back post is another….hahahahahahaha. Being yanks you also be interested in something else…..Landycakes thinks he’s patched things up with old Goldenballs here after he took me to his favourite spa this AM.

Wow, what a friendly bunch of guys! Some were even dressed up as French policemen. Landy went for the colonic irrigation while I had the full body sea-weed wrap. Thanks Raul, very soft hands. Anyhoo, Landon says he likes to flush all the pollutants out of his body before a big game…and they don’t come much bigger than Barca vs FC Gluttony this Saturday night. Well actually they don’t come much bigger for Landy, who really loves “exhibition” games against big clubs he’ll never get to play against competitively. Hahahahahahaha.

During his anal-bleaching touch-up later on, Landy confessed of being a bit nervous about the upcoming Mexico/USA World Cup clash at the Azteca. The Mexicans don’t like him because he took a wee on their field or something a few years back. Anyhoo, they are mean to him, these Mexicans and try to kick him early, so he’ll whuss out of the game. Basically following the Czech plan at 2006 World Cup. C’mon Mexico, I want him up in the air in the first 30 seconds! Leaving nothing to chance, Piedad my house-maid, is relaying messages to Mexico gaffer, Javier Aguirre, on how best to wind-up Landycakes. For example, he’s become obsessed with male pattern baldness, something The Becks has never had to worry about: my hair is still as thick as an Arabian merkin and God knows I’ve given it some abuse over the years. Just like Sheva……Hahahahahaha. Anyways I think Blanco will be giving him a Hair Club for Men brochure when they swap pennants at kick-off. Oh and Maxwell, my PA, is a whiz with Photoshop – so the Mexican squad now have pics of Biana Kajlich pleasuring a burro that just happens to be wearing an El Tri uniform. Go Mexico!

Wait a mo. Maxwell’s just texted me. Looks like if I don’t get home soon “Dinner will be in the dog”. Doesn’t this dufus know that Posh hardly eats a thing! Hahahahhahahha. Ciao for now, as we like to say in Milano.

becks, i don’t know who you are, and where you come from. but that is the finist comment we have ever received. i thought i had some ‘shiz…. but you take the cake. please stick around.

oh, one quick question, why do you suck on helium before you talk to the press? just wondering?

Props to GoSounders for aknowledging a mistake and correcting it. Other Sounders blogs take your correction and delete your comment without saying thanks.

Well, my wife and I think this sucks. The Barca game is the first one we have gotten tickets to, and we were hoping to see Montero play. Oh well… I really can’t blame him, as if I were in his shoes, I’d probably do the same thing.

I’m pissed about him missing Barca more than anything – although hiding him from a team from a Spanish speaking country may be in our best interest!

Oh well…

Looks like that may not be offical accoring to Jose at the Seattle Times…http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/soundersfcblog/2009572240_update_on_montero_to_colombian.html

We can hope he’ll be around for all our games (or will we?)

The confusion doesn’t surprise me. WE think it should a clear, seamless notification and move, but somehow I doubt it’s that simple.

My bet is 90% he’s headed to Houston to play for the Colombians.

i wonder what game montero would rather play, against barca, or against el salavador? yea, against el salavador is for his home country, but against barca is against some of the best players on the planet. personally, i’d rather play against barca.

New Seattle Soccer fans, welcome to the debate…

I might think club in this case.  If he really wants to get to Europe, this is a good chance for people to take notice.  If he can get to Europe I am sure he would get tons of call-ups.  He is still young and has lots of call-ups in the future, but playing Barca isn’t something he can really do until he gets to Europe.
