He meant the other Celtic youngsters/players.

Sir Alex Ferguson, manager of Manchester United, hinted strongly at a Philadelphia news conference that he will be bringing more players to bolster his squad during its matches of the 2004 ChampionsWorld Tour.

“I feel for the fans because we’ve brought so many young lads. I know it’s hard for fans to understand the difficulties we face with some fitness issues, and, believe me I’d dearly love to have everybody here,” said the legendary manager.

“We’re trying to get back to as strong a team as we can over the next two matches because we don’t want to disappoint the fans or ChampionsWorld, who have worked so hard to organize the matches. I’ll be working hard over the next two days to get players here.”

Ferguson also named Tim Howard as his starting goalkeeper for the matches against Celtic (Philadelphia, July 28) and AC Milan (Giants Stadium, July 31).

Man Utd simply are not playing the best players and the youngsters are not good enough.

Chelsea 3-0 Roma
Joe Cole, Kezman and Drogba the scorers for Chelsea. Kezman could miss the start of the Premiership due to a red card he picked up in this game. If U.S. Soccer sends documentation about the red card incident to the FA, then Kezman will most likely recieve a 3 match ban.

What happend with Robben in that match? I read that he also had to leave the field, did he also got a red card or an injury?

I think it was an injury. It was a horrible punch by Kezman, he deserves a ban.

Man Utd youngster Chris Eagles has apologised to Alan Thompson after his reckless challenge left the Celtic midfielder fearing a serious injury.

The 18-year-old has earned himself an unwanted reputation with bad tackles on German star Michael Ballack and now the England international in America.

But the talented midfielder held his hands up and admitted that he lost his head because he was charged up with his elevation to the senior side. Eagles explained: "I went into the dressing room to make sure he was okay. He seems to be fine and he has just had a few stitches.

"I was just excited because I have come up from the reserves and I was just recently playing for the under-18s. I went in and I didn't need to do it. "Afterwards Chris Sutton came up and said 'Watch yourself' and the size of him made me feel proper small.

"You don't think about things because the adrenalin was pumping. If I had pulled out then people would have said I was too soft." United skipper Roy Keane exchanged words with Sutton after the incident and he was quick to jump to the youngster's defence in the aftermath.

"Chris has not a bad bone in his body," said the Republic of Ireland international. "Maybe that is the problem. "I ran over to him when the tackle was made because that is what you do in football - look after each other, especially the young lads.

"I honestly think he tumbled into the tackle and slipped and his foot went over the ball."
