Premier League Starts Tomorrow!!!!

Two days ago the U.S. Men's National team traveled to Mexico City to face Mexico. We had not beaten Mexico in Mexico for a very long, long time. The game was very close all the way through, of course not all the big stars where there being so close to the start of the season, but still they where not bad either. Brek Shea, who if you can remember has not been on top form lately, dribbled down the side of the field dodging defenders here and there then crossed it on the ground into the box. Then the American who recieved it did a fancy little pass to someone who finished it off. This was great for Brek Shea who set up the play and I hope it gives him a lot of momentum to do good for FC Dallas. The best player in the game was Tim Howard. He had one of he best performences of the year and really kept the United States in it. Some people are saying that because of that game he should be in consideration for the best goal keeper in the world. It was a great win for the U.S. and they finally won on Mexican Soil once again.

Tomorrow the Premier League starts and three good games will be played.

The first one Arsenal vs Sunderland should be a pretty good match. Last year they had close games and thats how I expect this one to be. Its at Arsenal so for the first game of the season they will have an advantage with the home field. If the new signings play I think Arsenal can pull out a win here. I expect Gervinho to score. He has had a great preseason and I hope he can continue his form into the regular season. That is all the scoring I think will happen. Since its the first game of the season I dont think anybody is going to come out just attacking as hard as they can. So Arsenal wins 1-0.

The next game is Fulham vs. Norwich. A lot of people probably have Fulham winning this one, but I have it in a tie. I have always thought Norwich was a pretty good team and they can compete with some of the top level Premier League teams. Fulham is also a good team and has a great midfielder with Clint Dempsey. Both teams have nice offenses, but lack a little on defense. I have this one ending 2-2!

The last match I will predict is QPR vs. Swansea. This one should be another great match. Both these teams got promoted to the Premier League in the 2011/2012 season and have stayed in the top flight of English soccer. QPR has the new edition of Park Ji Sung who should help in the midfield a lot. Both these teams can also compete with top 3 teams, after both beat Arsenal in one of thier games last year. This one is going to be anther close one, but I have to take QPR 2-1. I just think they have a slightly better offense they Swansea.

Thanks for reading today!!
