Reunited and its Feels So Good
Four years ago, the characters you see above (pictured in 2003) embarked on a brief yet awe-inspiring tour of English football, seeing 5 matches in 11 days. Yesterday they were reunited in London as they began an anniversary tour that this time will span two weeks and 7 matches.

Fulham FC 0-4 Tottenham Hotspur
We began the trip with a 5th Round FA Cup match at Fulham's Craven Cottage between Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur. The match left us with little to speak about as Tottenham ran away with the match and took the spoils with a 4-0 victory. It was a treat for us to see Fulham FC, they are the team in English football's top flight with the most American Internationals (3: Brian McBride, Carlos Bocanegra and Clint Dempsey) and we got to the match early enough to see them train and 2 (McBride and Dempsey) played a part in the match. Robert even got the attention of Clint "Duece" Dempsey prior to the match and got a smile and a thumbs up from the newest of the American players to play in the Premiership. The match itself had goals but was a bit of a letdown, Fulham looked unorganized and and lacked width and the clinical finishing by Tottenham put the game beyond reach early in the second half. Our adventure continues this week with a full week of travel and big matches:
