Guess whose internet went out last night?
I'm a little behind and it's a busy day for me. I will drop the left back list now and try to get the defensive midfield up late tonight to stay on project schedule.Anyway... so left back is a tricky spot for the USMNT, huh? Yeah, I had some trouble se...
Clipboard Jungle
We've reached the left center back portion of our program... which means I don't need to cover job description. Yay.What I will do is add in a couple extra hypothetical details to think about with the construction of a 4-3-3 back line. When it comes to...
Holding the clipboard? Priceless (with complimentary headache)
It's Tuesday night, which means it's time to drop my own personal right center back depth chart - which means it may start to get contentious.The center backs in a 4-3-3 are charged with all the usual duties, but are specifically drilled for counter at...
And so begins the oppor-fun-tunity to pubicly call me crazy…
It's right back day on my USMNT clipboard, and this is where I start provoking. Exactly what it is I provoke, we shall see. As promised, today's ranking takes us deeper into discussions of things like tactical checkpoints, changes from the old ways and...
It’s MY clipboard. I have a receipt.
Yes, starting my personal USMNT depth chart reveal in goal is not flashy - but it's Friday, I'm sure you'll all persevere somehow. Naturally, the explanations will expand once we hit the field positions, as will your opportunities to question my sanity...
Alrighty then.
It will be a couple of weeks before some of my more detailed 4-3-3 explanations begin with the purpose of knocking down misconceptions and basically getting all Dutch abstract on ya.For now, I am going to start out as standard as possible. I'll go thro...

Top 5 Amsterdam Value Eats – Part Deux
Finally, it's time to take that OG Top 5 and make it into a Top 10'er. This is one of two lists on the way by request, and you all know I need no arm twist to talk about food. Like last time, we'll run through a small variety of tastes and make sure yo......
Top 5 MLS Signings: July edition
So I'm back. That's your cue to rejoice zealously (or brazenly gnash your teeth, whichever response seems most apropos). New Orleans nearly took my life twice and I shot a Romanian AK-47 at empty beer cans on a ranch in south Texas. 'Merica.
With all-...
Top 5 Woody Allen movies
I am an unabashed Woody Allen apologist, so you won't find a "Top 5 Worst" list from me. Only the good stuff. He's missed on a few, though none badly, and despite his age he continues to churn out brilliant dialogue, thought-provoking themes and lush backdrops in his movies, which he still dutifully produces at...
Top 5 MLS Fan Rivalries
There are plenty of MLS rivalries with deep-seated fan ties lingering out there in the ether. Chicago and New England have met in the playoffs more than any two clubs in league history and their fans have developed a healthy sheen of animosity. RSL-Da...
Top 5 Next Big Things Currently Cutting Teeth On Sitcoms
Okay, this time I didn't forget it or lose it on my Notepad or even get lazy... I just kept getting called away to wee hours USMNT ratings duty and transfer chases the last few days. Stuff is happening, folks. But for now, a little Distracter decree n...
