Thursday Kicks

1

Given a choice between watching soccer and blogging about it, I'd much rather do the former, but the scant rewards Wednesday for doing so included a tepid Manchester United 0-0 draw with Spain's Villareal in the UEFA Champions League and a surprising 2-0 win by Marathon of Honduras over Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF version

I will likely impose radio silence again today with two UEFA Cup games on Fox Soccer Channel (Spurs-Wisla Krakow at noon followed by Tim Howard's Everton against Oguchi Onyewu's Standard Liege) and New York meeting Sigi Schmid's Columbus Crew over on ESPN2 at 4 p.

Scoring Fastest Goal in Women's Olympic Soccer History Propels U.S. into Quarterfinals

8

Heather O'Reilly scored just 40 seconds into the game, USC striker Amy Rodriguez also scored and Torrance's Shannon Boxx was named player of the game as the U.S. crushed New Zealand (much much) earlier today 4-0 to win its group.

The U.S. needed a big win and a large Norway loss against Japan to take the group.

Group Stage Match 2
Sat Aug 9
USA 1-0 Japan

When four minutes had ticked by in the match between the United States and Japan, US players and fans had to be relieved: the US wasn't two goals down. In contrast to the mess of a team that came out against Norway, the Americans looked more aggressive and confident. Click to continue reading...

Soccer Sundries and a US Women’s B-ball Preview

The USWNT kicks off against Japan tomorrow morning at 5AM ET and will (hopefully) field a team with its heads screwed on more securely than on Wednesday! I like to think that Wednesday's game was a collective test, to see whether "Boom Ball" really doesn't work. Lesson learned, guys? Gayle Bryan has written about [. Click to continue reading...

First, it's pronounced Soond-HAGH-eh. (You still have 'til 8/6 to practice and get it right! Let's all give it our best shot, okay?) And for hardcore Pia fans, here are her career tournament stats (from the FIFA site). Second - don't forget to vote in the USWNT poll over there in the right-hand [. Click to continue reading...

USWNT Wins in Sweden … Phillies and Red Sox Lose … and the Beat Goes On!

Yesterday the USWNT beat Sweden 1-0 at Norrvalla Stadium in Skelleftea, Sweden. Carli Lloyd scored what turned out to be the game-winner off a corner that she took, giving a short kick to Lindsay Tarplay. Lindsay returned the ball to Carli, who took it into the box past at least three defenders before [. Click to continue reading...
