Can the teams I follow go 4 and 0 today?

Falkenberg, scrambling to get into third place, went on the road to league leading Brommapojkarna. Was hoping for a point on the road to keep Falkenberg in the hunt. Instead, a stunning 5-1 victory over the top dogs! With the help of Google Translate, got the league press office summary of the match. For the moment, Falkenberg is in third place but Trelleborg plays Helsingborg this week and with a win could jump into third. Helsingborg with a win jumps into fourth tied on points with FFF but in fourth on goal differential.

Elfsborg isn't mathematically eliminated from European football (Europa League) but it would be very difficult to climb that many spaces. Nonetheless, playing to be higher up on the table remains a reasonable goal for the club. Today, they got a much needed 1-0 victory at home against relegation bound Halmstad after 5 matches without a win.



Meanwhile, Liverpool dismantled Arsenal 4-0!



Behind the scenes murmuring was raised by the starting of Karius in goal and Ward on the bench with Mignolet left off the XVIII player team sheet. But the fans at Anfield left happy with the frontline members all scoring! Starters Firmino at 17, Mane at 40, and Salah at 57. To punctuate the domination, substitute Sturridge scored at 77. Liverpool enters the International break in good spirits. The remaining mystery for the club is whether there will be any ins or outs before the transfer deadline at August 31.

This evening, have the TV set on for the LA Galaxy vs. SJ Earthquake "California Clasico." Expectations are rather low as LA hasn't won since June 28 in a US Open match and June 21 in an MLS match. Nonetheless, players will have some pride with some playing for spots in the 2018 squad.

Not going to happen. Van Anholt stretchered off the field in the middle of the first half. LA gives up a goal right before the half. Red card on Smith so LA has to play catch-up down to 10 players. SJ scores again late in the half. And now at 90' a third SJ goal as Wondo gets a poacher's goal off a rebound.
