US MNT, MLS vs Europe

If you follow the US MNT you know there is a lot of talk about MLS players versus European based players. Looking at the US 2007 player pool I started to wonder what the teams would look like if we had 2 US teams, one full of MLS players, and one full of the [...]

When neither team is better than the other.

I don’t talk much about foreign leagues here, but I was watching Jay DeMerit and Watford playing defending EPL champs Chelsea this morning.  It was my first view of Jay DeMerit outside of his recent US MNT cap.  DeMerit looked really good and at the 90th minute he and his team had shut out the [...]

Clint Mathis goes to New York Red Bulls

The Colorado Rapids (Colorado Arsenal or Arsenal Colorado or whatever they are) traded Clint Mathis away to New York. Other specifics of the deal are unknown, but I hope the Rapids got something good for Mathis, I had high hopes for Mathis this year in Colorado.
This will be Clint’s second term in New York, [...]

How can we not beat Guatemala?

I know this is just a friendly game, but we have a new coach who hasn’t been offered a contract yet, and a team that is supposed to be rebounding from a terrible world cup last summer.  It is about time that US fans get mad about a team not being able to beat Guatemala [...]

MLS Expansion

By 2010 there is expected to be 16 teams in Major League Soccer, so if you can do simple math, thats an addition of 3 teams in 3 years.  That is exciting news for me, first because I’m a fan of MLS and I want to see the league grow and expand.  Secondly it is [...]

Your Captain Needs You

I came across this website this evening and figured it was link worthy. Someone is trying to spread the word about “The Goal”, an unreleased documentary about our former captain Claudio Reyna.

I don’t know who you are but you are so very right, this does sound like someting I really want to see now. [...]

US beats Ecuador 3-1!

Right before the game i sent this text message to a buddy:
The laptop goes off during the game, I’ll catch you later
3 - 1 USA!
That is two in a row with only proof to one person. I really must start posting those predictions here a couple days ahead of time.
Glad to see Landan Donovan [...]

Another Server Change

I’m moving the site one more time.  For a while we went to wordpress.com, but just missed some of the flexibility of having our own hosting space.  Sorry if this causes any RSS problems.

New US National Team Jersey

I thought it was a joke the first time i saw it, but it is real:

That is the jersey the US will wear on Sunday when they take on Ecuador. I guess it is only a 3rd jersey, but geez. I am alone thinking thats damm ugly?
Does anyone else remember the jerseys the [...]

Bad news for the Revolution

On April 7th the New England Revolution travel to Chicago to open the 2007 MLS regular season but they could possibly be missing 3 important pieces of a very good team.
Pat Noonan had sports hernia surgery on his groin yesterday after taking an injury while training in Mexico.  It is not known weather Noonal will [...]
