A few things…
No links this time, just a coupla semi-goodies, a bit of good news and a Danish-American horn toot. It's just about that time again, so let's unpack those ol' thumbs up and down for summer...
#1 - Let's start with a couple of transfer report reviews:
I can confirm that the Austrian report of Rapid Vienna being...
Debut goal alert!! (updated)
Djurgården rookie Brian Span made his first Allsvenskan start at right wing today and it wasn't for nothing. The youngster has just hit the 1-1 equalizer at defending champs Helsingborg with a quarter hour remaining to open his pro account.
UPDATE...
Bug juice for all!
Both the USMNT and USWNT are in camp ahead of big summers, so let's check in on the proceedings. Ladies first...
And now we turn to mad professor Klinsi and a fan visit to training that is set for a repeat engagement on Friday.
- Gre...
Klinsi’s (Other) Eleven
Including today's 11 additions, the USMNT has 27 going for 23 spots in the "tourney simulation squad" starting with Saturday's Scotland friendly. I may have additional thoughts later, but for now I'm just trying to figure out why Eric Lichaj is not along (while Alfredo Morales is). And Zusi over Kljestan? Tsk tsk.D - Geoff...
Strapped with Gatt
Molde FK winger Josh Gatt bagged his third of the young season on 26 minutes and it stood up as winner in a 2-0 defeat of Sandnes. We'll get that clip up ASAP...- Greg Seltzer
Well, that was fun*.
*Provided you're not a Bayern fan. Or Angela Merkel.
Let's sift through Chelsea's rude guest European championship triumph that knocked Brad Friedel to the Europa League (rabidly unfairly, I say) and shoved Sacha Kljestan's Anderlecht out of the ...
I love the smell of bug juice in the morning.
The USMNT have (partially) opened camp and Klinsi is getting all scientific with it. It's just whacky enough an idea, I love it. Even his detractors must admit the coach is keeping the players' brains alert and active. The notion of business as usual i...
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...
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...
UEFA Honor Roll Fall Preview
This list is not final, one American still must wait on a result to see if he makes the dance and the numbers here could rise or fall over the summer transfer window. Effectively, this is an as-things-stand pre-list just to give you an idea of who will...
