Munich Remembered
''This man came and planted a seed in a bombed-out ground, and he watched the seed grow, he loved it and nurtured it, till the branches started growing outwards and upwards.
Then the tree was struck by lightning. He started all over again, loving it and nurturing it, and the branches grew and grew to the ends of the world.''
from Sir Matt Busby '' A Tribute'' by Rick Granville
On February 5th 1958 Manchester United played Red Star Belgrade in the European Cup.
For eight of the ''Busby Babes'' it would be their final match
Roger Byrne, Geoff Bent, Eddie Colman, Duncan Edwards, Mark Jones, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor ,
and Liam Whelan.
Club secretary ,Walter Crickmer trainer Tom Curry and coach Bert Whalley also perished
Yes, We at Nevada Smiths have finally bowed to Twitter's Tweets or is it Twitter's Twit's, anyway whilst not being a full on Twitter Blog, we will send out "tweets" with regard to the Football Fixtures listing page and any major footballing issues concerning Nevada Smiths so as you may receive up to the minute schedules changes or, for example, if the Champions League Trophy is about to be displayed at the bar, at least you can't say that we didn't tell you.
If I ever say the word "tweet" again you have my full permission to call me a twit.
There are some fine match-ups midweek with a full program from the Premier League on Tuesday and Wednesday. Chelsea and Manchester United are starting to pull away at the top of the table. Everton will need to improve greatly on their very disappointing display at the Merseyside Derby as table topping Chelsea visit.
Manchester United head to Villa Park to play the only team to beat them at Old Trafford in the EPL and with Aston Villa chasing a Champions League spot, this game should be a very tight affair. Arsenal will be hoping that they can stop the rot in what is probably match of the day as a resurgent Liverpool head to the Emirates.
We also have the two Copa del Rey Semi-Final. No Real or Barcelona left in the competition Atletico Madrid will be hoping to win their first Trophy since they did the double in 1996. The DFB Pokal (German FA Cup) is at the 1/4 Final stage and Nevada Smiths will have the two of those games live.
Update: Copa Libertadores - Live Tues, Wed and Thurs.
The 2010 edition of the Copa Libertadores has started and all the usual suspects are in the draw with Argentina having an extra spot due to Estudiantes de La Plata victory in last years final. Nevada Smiths will show all live broadcasts available in the United States.
After all the drama of the Campeonato Brasiliero, the Brazilian State Championships have resumed and despite the allure of the National League, the State Championship's hold a special place in the heart of Brazilian Football fans. With no National League until 1971, the State Championship's were the backbone of the 1970 World Cup winning team, arguably the greatest of all time.
As yet we have not got a complete schedule for the games but will be showing all transmissions from PFC International, TV Globo and Gol TV.

There's a body of work in progress not far from where I write, a construction site nearing completion, a holy ground, that by far is the most important couple of acres in the whole of this great land we call America. Red Bull Stadium might seem like another run of the mill project, to some it is just one of many new ''Soccer Specific Stadiums'' which are sprouting up around the country but to the visionaries it is much much more, because now Football has finally found a home. Football fans hate the word ''Soccer '' because.....
