Howdy dudes, welcome to a new series of EPL action as another summer training camp is almost over for Manchester. And we have a new kicker on our depth chart. Sir Fergie has drafted Tott Nam middleman Michael Carrick for the excellent price of 18.6 million English dollars, which is only just over half the amount he traded for Juansebastian Veron. If he can be half as good as him, we know we have a bargain. I'm not sure who he is going to replace in the roster. Pop says he thinks Carrick is an anchor, or at least I think that's what he said. However, leaving the Nike Trafford Ballpark is Rude Nistelrooy, who moved to Portugalese franchise Realmadrid. He's been our top offenser for the last few series and I worry for him. I heard that they treat animals very badly and I fear he could end up being captured and having to give children rides up and down the beach for the rest of his life. Some people say that leaves us short on offense, but we still have at least one of Wayne and ...

We're down to the top eight World Series rosters now as we reach the one-quarter finals. First up, Germany, with the home-field advantage, faces the Argentinians in a firecracker encounter. Germany has a 4-0-0 record in the World Series so far this year, but Pop tells me they haven't beaten a top franchise for six years. That can't be true – I'm sure they beat Team USA recently and we're the best at everything! The man who supplies all the passes for Argentinia is quarterback Juan Roman Rick Elmay, who has as many skills as he does first names. He got an assist on a score in the one-eighth final, which Herman Crespo got despite not touching the soccerball. Now that shows skill! In the late game of the double-header, Italy returns, having squeaked past Australia in their last game, thanks to an umpiring decision that could be described as somewhere between "generous" and "wrong". However, I don't think there's any truth that the umpire was visited by a ...

Howdy friends, Sorry I haven't been around for a while, but I have just been thrilled by the Soccerball World Series. I can't believe I didn't watch it last year! You can read my previews of the upcoming World Series games every day in British tabloid The Guardian . It's on the back page of the Sport section, entitled Soccerball. It's near a column by a woman called Delia, who keeps shouting "Let's be having you" at me across the room. Scary. Don't worry though, I'll still be back here regularly, keeping you up to date with what's happening in the Manchester soccer franchise. Hopefully, this will be the year Sir Fergie goes!

Britain finished their pre-series exhibition games with a six-zip win over the Jamaican national franchise. Peter Crouch was given a hat for the first time in his career, after kicking three scores, none of which were head-kicks, which is unheard of for the 6'7", 95lb offenser. Frank Lampard had got the opening score, before Jermaine Taylor's negative score made it two. Then came Crouch's three, with Michael Owen getting one in the middle. Crouch even turned down the chance to get a fourth, when he tried to kick a 12-yard spot-kick punishment into the goal in Frankfurt that Britain will be playing Paraguay in. I think he thought it would count for the next game if it went in. So a great win, which sets "us" up perfectly for the World Cup Series even if it was against Jamaica (who incidentally are called the Peggy Boyz because they are coached by Barbara Windsor). With Crouch in such hot form, how can Britain not go home with a series of winning World Series ...

Britain stormed to a three-to-win win over Hungaria in a World Cup Pre-Series game at the Nike Trafford Ballpark. Britain coach Sven Eriksson played his full projected starters in the game, but because he is so much better than the EPL coaches, he decided it would improve the national franchise to put all the kickers in unusual positions. So Jamie Carragher, the Liverpool Reds' defenseman, was deployed as a 'anchor' man, but was replaced by Owen Hargreaves, at which point the whole crowd started chanting "Hargreaves is an anchor" (or at least I think that's what they were saying). Britain quarterback David Beckham was again the star of the show (if only he could kick for Manchester one day), creating two head-kick scores for Stevie Gerrard and John Terry. Then Peter Crouch proved that he doesn't just head-kick - he can kick-kick too. He span on a dime, before thumping a kick into the score-zone. All in all, a great result for Britain ahead of the World Cup Series. As ...
