The Best USA Soccer Team Start

1
There's no question it's wildly premature to name a starting lineup for the US Men's National Team for the 2010 World Cup. Possibly insanely premature.
However, with that disclaimer out of the way, I'm going to unveil my starting 11, my ideal current lineup, my list of subs who should see ample playing time, and hopefully a compelling rationale for my picks. Click to continue reading...

Moving Shop (Update your bookmarks)

Well, it finally happened. Someone extended an invite to be a contributor to a multi-pundit blog, which gives me a chance to get out of the sole proprietor gig I've been doing for the past year or so. Call this a dream come true, my shot at getting out of the "feed-the-beast" grind that is hosting a one-man blog. (What can I say? I dream small - y'know, aim for the ceiling, slip on the way up and fall on that plate smeared with ketchup and so on. Click to continue reading...

New England Muggles Overturn Wizards

Ah, my first Harry Potter headline...(cough..cough...nerd!...cough).

Last night's MLS Primetime match-up suggested at least one thing about the Eastern Conference race: the New England Revolution holds the better hand. Add a win on Saturday/Sunday (forgive the vagueness; I'm forcing myself to go on memory) against DC United and the Revs look a lot like the early favorite for the Eastern title.

What Is Beckham?

2
"David Beckham's not here just to play soccer," said David Flores, who wore an England jersey and made a five-hour drive from San Antonio with two friends. "He's here to sell the league. He should have come with the team just to wave to the crowd and everybody would have understood."

"I understand why he's not playing," Jessica [Anderson] said.

Superliga: Semis and Non-Aggression Pacts

We now know the semifinal pairings for the inaugural edition of the Superliga - the LA Galaxy will host DC United, while the Houston Dynamo picked up a tasty rematch against CF Pachuca - but, for whatever reason, I'm still sitting here pondering alternate realities.

Did the possibility of Club America and Monarcas Morelia playing to the required result to see Morelia through to the Superliga semifinals occur to anyone else? Click to continue reading...

NE Stadium Talk: Pull the Trigger, Bob

5
A lot of people have flagged talk of the New England Revolution getting a new, soccer-specifc home, but I've got a thing or two to add. The location, the "bedroom community" of Somerville, strikes me as a great one, especially given that they're talking of placing it on the Charlestown-side of Somerville 'cause, if I'm not mistaken, that makes it more central still to Boston-proper.

The Night Superliga Became Super (Video +)

1
The only bad thing to say about last night's eleven goal barn-burner between FC Dallas and the Los Angeles Galaxy in Frisco, Texas was that it would have been better had this been a Major League Soccer (MLS) team facing a Mexican club. After that, it's all pretty happy....well, unless you tally up the injuries large and small picked up by FC Dallas players. Click to continue reading...
