Farewell for now

I could list all sorts of reasons for stepping aside from ThroughBall.com, not least of which is a desire to shower attention on my nine-month-old but, if I'm being honest, I simply have neither the passion nor the time it takes to do this correctly. I suspect I'll see you all again down the road here or [. Click to continue reading...

U.S. 2-2 Mexico: three things

0
Not a great showing from the boys last night. There were flashes here and there but they rarely looked in control. That said, here are three non-game-related points about last night: Commenting on the Commentators While searching for the game, I inadvertently flipped to ESPN instead of ESPN2. Who did I hear doing the play-by-play of the [. Click to continue reading...

Nike, U.S. Soccer unveil latest in series of jerseys with totally unrelated styles

Can we get a little consistency, please? If I flip to a game, I know immediately if Italy or Brazil are playing just by looking at the uniforms. With the U.S., there is no telling what they might be wearing. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Nike, U.S. Soccer unveil latest in series of jerseys with totally unrelated styles", url: "http://www.

On strikers

2
Agree or disagree? Here's a fact, Twellman is 27. Here's another, he's scored six goals in 29 international matches... Part of me thinks the suits at the US Soccer Federation so desperately want Twellman to succeed. He's got everything they need in a poster boy an alliterative name, goofy smile, blond hair, etc. Click to continue reading...

Thunder owner’s grand plans

Last week, I mentioned a St. Paul Pioneer Press article about Minnesota Thunder co-owner, Dean Johnson, and his ambitions to (re-)develop parts of downtown St. Paul. I'm not sure why I didn't see this earlier but the amazing (seriously, if you're a local, you should be reading this every day) City Hall Scoop blog at [. Click to continue reading...

A couple weeks ago, I planned to write a post about one of the Minnesota Thunder's new owners. It wasn't going to be a terribly original post; I was just going to link to an interesting article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press about Dean Johnson and his ambition to do some major (non-soccer) development [.

U.S. Soccer announced yesterday that Steven Goff's fantastic blog, Soccer Insider, won the title of "Best U.S. Soccer Blog." Congratulations to Goff and to first runner-up, Ives Galarcep!
