-Reading gave up 3 goals in 2 games over the weekend in the English Championship Division. But of course they still didn't lose. (Losing hasn't happened in 27 games now.) They drew 2-2 with Derby on Saturday, and then blew-out Cardiff 5-1 Monday. But 3 goals seems like 20 to Marcus Hahnemann. Reading is a machine these days.-Besides Convey & Hahnemann playing some great soccer right now for Reading, some other Americans in England, Eddie Lewis at Leeds, Brad Friedel at Blackburn, and Brian McBride at Fulham, are all playing amazing soccer too.-Unfortunately Claudio Reyna at Man City has the broken ankle to deal with, Carlos Bocanegra at Fulham is playing some, but has a bad achilles, Tim Howard has to keep picking splinters out of his butt while riding the pine at Man U, and Jonathan Spector goes back and forth from field to bench at crappy Charlton. Those guys all need to get it together by June.-DaMarcus Beasley appears to be healed from the hamstring strain and is doing well at PSV in Holland too.-Forbes
