Third Time’s the Charm…?

Landon in training with FC Bayern ...plainly stated: not likely. I'm sure many of us got excited when news started circulating about Landon's new interest in making another leap across the pond. News of his destination quickly served to quell these hopes. After two failed attempts, one wouldn't expect Lando to take another shot at the [. Click to continue reading...

Play-by-Play, USA-Guatemala

Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008 LINEUPS ANNOUNCED: This lineup could take our so-called "A" team. Both strikers are the best we have, and our widemen are fantastic in Sacha and Freddy. If I were Bob, I'd keep this lineup as our "A" squad, except slot Bradley in as sole d-mid and Landon as center attacking mid. Click to continue reading...

LA Bound

It is the day after New York clinched their spot in the MLS Cup. Not going to lie, it still has not set in yet. I cannot believe after the season we have had that we are going to be in the finals. The minute I heard that Jozy had been sent to Spain, my [...] Click to continue reading...

STOP ME

Hands down, Darren Bent is proving to be a force on Tottenham. Scoring another 3 goals tonight in UEFA action, his resume keeps improving. Clearly, he and Harry Redknapp are on the same page and are workign well toghter. As somebody who watched the Ramos/ Berbatov bitching, this is a welcomed change. Click to continue reading...

BRILLIANT!

What happened? One minute we are bottom of the list. Next thing I know, we are some sort of force in the EPL? Are these the same Spurs that have caused me to have so much pain over the past 9 weeks? Harry Redknapp has come in and some how amped this team into something [...] Click to continue reading...

So Far, So Good

Yes, I am very happy with the win today. Don't get me wrong,we needed it. What we need most though, is to do the right thing in January when the window opens up and get some golden boots in the front. Ramos pissed away 67 million pounds worth of striker talent. Without question, Tottenham needs to be the [. Click to continue reading...

Well the MLS is looking to add two more teams to its expansion pool, which is always a great thing. Next year we'll have the Seattle Sounders and following them will be a cute lil team from Philly.. they should name them the Phillies just to confuse people.

As Important As Ever!!!!!

So, if you didn't know by now, the "Stand Up Speak Up" program was created by a number of players to combat the growing problem of racism in football. Consider it if you will, the LIVESTRONG of Europe. Problem is, the program kinda faded in 2005. Yet, while I am sure it sorta fell to the bottom of the list [. Click to continue reading...

Have you seen this man?

... I sure haven't, and I am definitely not the only person who is extremely pleased by the absence of one Eddie Johnson from the roster to face Cuba in D.C. Soccer writers and fans across the nation have been calling for some good judgment from Bob Bradley. The omission of EJ for this qualifier [. Click to continue reading...
