What do you get when you cross Carlos Borja and Noel Castillo? A former youth international whose brother is the superior athlete? Not exactly.

Sangre americana preview: Orozco

2008-07-24T14:24:00+00:00

At the start of the Clausura 2008 season, few American soccer fans had heard of Michael Orozco. Now, though, he's become a part of the U.S. national team system and will represent the U.S. in the upcoming Summer Olympics.

And while he'll be away for perhaps one-fourth of the upcoming Apertura 2008 season, he will at some point go back ad try and reclaim a spot on the club.

Early start for Americans

As the start of the Mexican Apertura 2008 season approaches, I was doing some work for the upcoming editions of Sangre americana, where I keep tabs on American-born players in Mexico.

What I failed to notice is that the Primera A season got underway and we had two American-born players as well as a naturalized citizen see action.

Expanding my jersey horizons

2008-07-11T18:28:00+00:00

About a month or so ago, I talked about having gotten a brand-spanking new soccer jersey and how it was nice to have something other than Mexican club jerseys... not that there's anything wrong with that but I like variety. And I had no MLS gear of any club save for the local sides and I wanted to get an MLS shirt from a club that doesn't play its home games at Home Depot Center.
