Extra Time: Ruben Luna
About a week ago I got the chance to talk all things Ruben Luna with Ruben Luna. Naturally not everything fit the story, so the tastiest leftovers from "Home Grown: Ruben Luna" are all yours. I also included some bonus quotes from his U12-U16 coach, Darrin Hedges who now coaches FC Dallas's women's team.
On the importance...
The good, the bad and Mexico
Just a few things I caught in my daily crawl around the series of tubes that is the interwebs ...
The Good
FC Nurnberg signed Timothy Chandler to a two-year extension. The deal has him all signed up to be there until the summer of 2015, but I guess w...
Da Beaz
Puebla lost 3-2 to Club America yesterday, but DaMarcus Beasley was still there, running past people, scoring a goal, just doing his thing. You can see his 2-2 equalizer around 2:08

Go on, act like you’re not excited.
Will's mentioned it, we've all felt it. Mexico's been running CONCACAF and it hurts.Between the minimes and the legends, there hasn't been much to cheer about if you're a fan of the US of A, but those two teams? They got this.Around 10,000 fans packed ...
Retro dos a cero?
You know we've been starved for anything resembling success against Mexico lately, but tonight revenge may be in the cards.The US plays Mexico at Home Depot Center at 7:15 p.m. You can check out the roster's here. It's basically Mexico's "Golden Generation" of Borghetti, Palencia and co. against our stars of the 90s.Anyway, check it...
This ‘n that
Things are afoot. Let us round up and see.
The US fell in the world rankings again today. Without playing a game, it should be said. What are your thoughts on the US at No. 29? Nestled cozily in a neighborhood with Japan, Slovenia and Edin Dzeko's Bo...
Mexico, Panama to host 2013 CONCACAF youth championships
Qualifying for major international tournaments has been a tougher challenge than expected for U.S. youth teams over the last year, and that quest won't get any easier in 2013, as qualification for two youth World Cups will take place on foreign soil. Mexico and Panama have been selected to host the 2013 CONCACAF Under-20 and...
Down Mexico Way…
I've been so busy trying to get everything set for vacation (it's a lot of work!), I nearly missed a pair of goals from Americans south of the border. On Saturday, Tijuana not only won the cheerleader battle, they beat Atlante thanks to a Joe Corona pi...

Herculez Gomez is killin’ me.
I can't come up with cutesy clever post titles for his goals at this rate. For crying out loud, DJ Cool Herc has already dropped two hits tonight and it's only halftime. That makes for goals in eight straight Santos appearances, with 11 in total during...
A few things…
I was in the Bay Area last week visiting family on vacation. Glamorous lifestyle? Yes. Of course. I ride only in the finest Hummer H7's (never heard of them? You will), outfitted with golden hot tubs, three different satellite providers just because an...
