As I sit here watching the US Women's National Team in World Cup qualifying, I can't help but think that I have a problem. Something about the ball rolling across the ground is therapeutic. Of course, with the international break, the only sports I've been watching are baseball and football. Playoff baseball has some of the most climactic moments in all of sports, but those moments can't be relied upon.
Premier Leagues football is back! Time to re-engage with the storylines. ... Chelsea has the best passer, best dribbler, most in-form finisher, and arguably, the best manager in the league. Can their defense hold up? Will Man City's reliance on Yaya's domination of the midfield and Lampard's heroics be enough? Can Southampton maintain their excellent start with a thin squad? Will Man Utd play their 30th different squad member of the season?
Elsewhere, Gundogan will be back on the pitch with Dortmund, and Reus is nearing game fitness. I need to start watching the Bundesliga. Goltv needs to make a triumphant return.
