I was happy to see today that Leeds United, my favorite soccer team outside the US, has signed US international midfielder Eddie Lewis on a two-year contract. After its shameful relegation from the Premiership in 2004 and concurrent financial problems, Leeds ended up in 14th place in the Championship (second level of pro soccer in England) last year and got considerably better as the season progressed after a shaky start. Maybe with Eddie, who helped Preston North End to the promotion play-off final, prowling the left wing next season Leeds will bounce back into the Prem sooner rather than later.
