Congratulations to the USA Men's Soccer team in their 1-0 victory over Italy!

Clint Dempsey scored early in the second half to provide the U.S. Men’s National Team a historic 1-0 victory over Italy. Although the game was an International Friendly, it occurred in Genoa adding importance to the US victory over the Italians on their home pitch. The victory against the four-time FIFA World Cup champion was the first in U.S. history, breaking a previous 10-game losing streak against Italy that dated back to 1934.  This great moment in USA soccer history happened too late to make, the recently released from Extra Point Press,  Fantasy Soccer: The Ultimate "How-to" Guide for Fantasy Football/Fantasy Soccer ($14.95) http://www.amazon.com/dp/1936635070, but you can own it by purchasing it at Amazon, BN.com and other fine retailers. 


Congratulations to the USA Men's National Team!


The U.S. hosts its next two matches, taking on Scotland on May 26 at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla. (8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network), followed by a May 30 match against Brazil at FedExField in Landover, Md. (8 p.m. ET, ESPN2, ESPN3 and Univision).

Congrats to American Tim Howard, Evertons keeper, who scored a goal this week. Speaking of goals...Fantasy Soccer or Fantasy Football (Soccer to Yanks) available now!

Congratulations to Tim Howard, Evertons American goalkeeper who scored a goal by himself with a kick from his own penatly box and some help from the wind and a great bounce over the opposing teams (Bolton) goalkeeper. Howard is just the 4th goalkeeper to score a goal in the Premier League. The only other goalkeepers to score in the Premier League are Peter Schmeichel, American Brad Friedel and Paul Robinson. So two of the four are Americans.

Speaking of football (or Soccer if you are a yank). Sam Hendricks recently released Fantasy Football (Soccer to Yanks) in the UK and Fantasy Soccer in the U.S and Canada. Both books contain the same information about fantasy football/soccer but their titles are oriented toward different consumers/markets.

They make great gifts for the football (soccer) fan in your life.

Bolton won 2-1 by the way.

Extra Point Press announces release of Fantasy Football Almanac 2011. Onsale now!

First the bad news, magazines like Fantasy Football Index and Fantasy Football Draftbook will not be published this year due to the lockout and ongoing NFL and NFLPA issues.

The good news, there is still a resource for the fantasy football season which I believe we will have. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Fantasy Football Almanac 2011 is available now at BN, Amazon and other online retailers. Ask for it in your local BN or Border store and they can order it if they do not have it in stock at the time of your request.

It includes the 2011 NFL pre, regular and post season schedules, 2010 statistics by player, position and team, projections for 2011 and player rankings for multiple leagues.
