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 ...
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...
Coffee Tawk w/ Klinsi
The topics are the Olympic failure and forthcoming World Cup qualifiers... discuss! - Greg Seltzer
As I think of Kansas City, three things immediately spring to mind.
Killer BBQ that doesn't get enough recognition. Flippin' Don Denkinger. And you guys get to see Laduma tomorrow night if you want. All in all, you look like lucky bastards to me about now. - 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...
Just to keep you up on the papers…
The Tippeligaen team-of-the-week blurb says: "[Josh Gatt] Proves what speed does. SIF - defense backed down into its own end when the American thundered forward and scored."Of course, at this moment, we're all probably wishing Molde could have been much healthier for this game. Then, (sigh), Freddy Adu could have played the #10.- Greg...
Alright… let’s talk about it.
My player ratings will go up soon at MLSS and I'm sure you'll also have some questions for me here. Here's a lightning round Top 4 List before we go to the tube:1 - We need to start getting it through our national soccer skull that there is no such thi...
On Tap: U.S. Olympic Crunch Time
I won't overwhelm with info this time. Two thoughts (expect line-up changes and more patience on the ball) and two clips to get you ready for the big El Salvador game.- Greg Seltzer
My USMNT Clipboard 2.0
As promised, a re-boot of last fall's USMNT depth charts based on a 4-3-3 formation. Of course, that may not actually be used much in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying (remember, its start is the time frame I'm thinking for these rankings) or may be run wi...
The Friday Five
It's baaaack.
Since I know you missed us, Jacob and I are bringing back the Friday Five with the wind force of a busted tuba. On tap for today is CCL action, MLS First Kick madness and the wonders of Jozy's AZ frolic vs. the cold-shoulder treatment f...
