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...
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...
For all you club hackers out there…
...I am here to provide you with a new, fervent rooting interest for the 2012 US Open Cup.
Martyn Artista's brace guided Northern California club outfit Stanislaus United Turlock Express past Napoli 5-2 and just a breath from qualifying for the 99th U...
The one where we go counterpoint on a piece of attire
I dig them.
Here's why, and feel free to follow me down this rabbit hole. Or simply watch me get lost by myself. Either way, we're playing a game of Alice in Wonderland here instead of Where's Waldo. Jacob.
This country has no real triumphant soc...
Still shaking my head
I get that preference in jerseys is mostly a subjective thing, so me saying 'bleh' is nothing more than that.That said, a lot of my initial frustration comes from the fact that every couple years Nike seems to have an office party culminating in a drun...
Alex Morgan is attractive
The new US National Team jerseys are not.It's one thing for Nike to completely rebrand our teams every two years. Turning them into cartoonish laughing stocks is another. I'll expand on this later, for now though consider the following.- Clint Dempsey ...
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 ...
Coffee Tawk w/ Klinsi
The topics are the Olympic failure and forthcoming World Cup qualifiers... discuss! - Greg Seltzer
Great. You’ve all turned Alexi Lalas into the sage voice of reason. Please stop encouraging him in this regard.
Joking aside, I link to this Grant Wahl SI podcast with the ABC commentator specifically to give my full endorsement to every last thing he says from the question halfway through on, about criticisms hurled at the US Under-23 team and the fed that, yes...
Bed is good.
Pillow and comforter ain't half-bad, either. After 13 hours of travel today (Genoa isn't the easiest place to get to), I'm going to sleep for about 14. As you'd expect, I'll follow that up with the gonzo. Sneak preview: Pesto. Ya heard. - Greg Seltzer
Eddie Johnson’s crooked road
Well, they were half right...
Be prepared to welcome back Eddie Johnson tomorrow. What it means for you, an MLS fan, is unclear now. Johnson has been separated from the epicenter of his talent for so long, been a mere prospect-gone-south for so many years, that his name has become a sort of cautionary tale. "Hopefully...
A few things…
#1 - Matteo Ferrari is in camp with the Impact. As a Roma fan, I'm acquainted with him. Nothing spectacular, but he has decent feet, good size and a sturdy countenance. That he's been out of the game since Besiktas released him in August should be a li...
