Video Wednesday
Seriously, who doesn't start Wednesday at the office with some soccer tube?
You may have already heard Real Salt Lake's badass new anthem. In this clip, Rancid drummer Branden Steineckert talks about his love for the club and how the new club song ca...
The slipper shatters
Stanislaus United Turlock Express, our plucky adopted NSC USOC team, lost its glass slipper tonight in the first round of the US Open Cup, bowing out 2-0 to Fresno Fuego in the 1st round. Shame, but there are still plenty of interesting storylines left...
A few quick things…
Regarding Americans in Europe:
- Playing without Alfredo Morales, Hertha Berlin were relegated to the 2.Bundesliga tonight by Fortuna Düsseldorf.
- Hapoel Tel Aviv took the State Cup final in the 90th minute, meaning Leo Krupnik and Maccabi Netanya ...
The first 16
I don't really see the reason behind this turn-up day, staggered squad announcement, and now that it's begun there seems no real rhyme to it (unless we're meant to believe that none of Chandler, Lichaj or Ream will be in the group). A few things on the...
Feet to fire time
Word has it Klinsi could select as many as 29 players to for USMNT camp today, so it seems like a good time to take a stab at guessing who gets called (though I only picked 28). Bear in mind, it's not about my clipboard this time, but a prediction of w...
Who likes goals?

Gatt-chya again (updated)
Word on the street is that one Josh Gatt got himself a goal and an assist in Molde's 5-0 blowout of Stabaek. Ricardo Clark has the misfortune of being on the wrong side of that scoreline.
Also, Sean Cunningham started and Erik Benjaminsen came off the...
Deuce es machina
When Fulham needed a goal this season, they generally reached for the button on Clint Dempsey's destroy program. The U.S. star will miss out on a closing day duel with cross-town rivals Tottenham on Sunday, so let's rewind to enjoy his record-setting c...
The line for Alessandro Nesta forms on the right
I don't always drink beer, but when I do...
Alessandro Nesta is too old for MLS.
At 36, he's just old enough to be hobbled by age and run through by years of playing in three major running cup competitions a year. Milan squeezed just about every dr...
