	Can I get an amen? Believe it or not, there is a church dedicated to Diego Maradona. 'La Iglesia de Maradona' congregation reenacts the infamous 'Hand of God' goal as part of the service. I spewed coffee the morning I saw this on "World Football" - check it out here!
	Battery sign reserve GK According to A-League sources, the Charleston Battery have signed another keeper to the team. Obvious areas of strength are low slow shots; dubious factors are range, speed and ability to save high shots.

	Norwich City 2 - Man Utd 0 I wonder if this guy took his vest off after Manchester United lost to Norwich City at Carrow Road? He'd have to have felt quite the prat on that night! Much like any other Man U fan, I'd imagine. I will have to ask Garn ... and I am still trying to get AP permission to use the actual photo, which is why this scan of the P&C is here. We should be so lucky that this appeared in our little rag at all!

	New Logo The Atlanta Silverbacks release their new team logo. Ain't that just the way to mean up the team?

	Expansion Team in the Southwest Arizona businessman tries to impress A-League commissioner with this display of "supporters unity" at the site of the planned midfield circle at Davis-Monthan stadium.

	He'd already suffered punishment enough!17 October 2004 (AP) Two people nearly killed when a Romanian football fan threw his TV out of the window refused to press charges because they sympathized with the culprit. Ghita Axinte of Pascani, Romania, was so angry when the Romanians lost their World Cup qualifier to the Czech Republic, he hurled his TV out the window and narrowly missed two neighbors on a balcony below. Neighbor Radu Demergiu said he and his brother were shaken by the incident, but decided to not press charges against the 43-year old Axinte, saying ‘When he told me that he’d been watching the football, I completely understood.’ Case closed.
	What's it worth to you? Whoa. Apparently the sweat from the jersey was included in the price! Pele's jersey from the 1970 World Cup final was sold at auction .. click to get the facts! And speaking of facts, if you want to buy my tie commemorating the Final at Azteca Stadium, just let me know.
	And you thought Ken Burger was a shmuck! Check out this scan of ESPN Magazine (bottom left corner of the article) in which Tony "I'm easily as stupid as Ken Burger, but I'm an actual journalist" Kornholer rants about soccer. Man, the USMNT reaches its highest ranking in the FIFA standings and they just cannot bring themselves to congratulate them honestly. I cancelled my subscription.
	World All-Stars Hell, since I was at it -and was shocked that there was ANY soccer coverage in ESPN magazine- I decided to throw this in here. There is some good stuff here, if there's anyone looking at this at all.
	Copa Oro 2005 Champs This is a photo of the champs, but attached is an article written by Marc Connolly of ESPN about Kasey Keller. It's worth the read, and it was worth "stealing" for your reading pleasure. I am sure that you're friggin thrilled...
	Waaay Wales! This is a story and photo of convicted football hooligan, Craig Hughes, who -though banned and imprisoned from attending football matches for eight years stemming from 'violent disorder' before a Cardiff City v. West Ham match in 2003- was signed by Carmarthen Town FC to contract! Read all about it here!
	It figures! Someone is probably so friggin stupid that this sign would be a good idea to have around. Now, you're asking "Hey, what does this have to do with the Regiment?" Ummmm ... about as much as the next item. G'won!
	"Caveat Emptor" I could do no justice to this story by describing it. Check it out for yourself. WARNING: Recurring theme .. what the hell is it about Wales anyway?!

	Piñata, mi culo! Though as a whole the US press might dismiss soccer, here are some interesting figures to prove that it's here in USA for good. Viva USA in WC2006! Forget those shmos, I know I will be watching! And just because this was in ESPN doesn't mean they're off the hook for offering shite coverage...
	Sacre Bleu! Apparently, Zinedine Zidane is coming out of retirement to rejoin the French National Team for the upcoming World Cup qualifying after having retired. "One night at 3 in the morning, I suddenly woke up and spoke to someone,'' Zidane said in France Football magazine. "I had to obey this voice that advised me.'' Asked about the identity of his mysterious interlocutor, Zidane vowed to remain silent. "Until my last breath, I won't say,'' he said. "It's too intense.'' I ask you, look at this picture and tell me this is a sane man.
