What to Blog About, Lil’s Return, Ruby’s Morning, etc.

0
In a moment or two, I'll be taking our Westie Ruby to the vets to have the plaque and tartar scraped off of her teeth.  She's had a miserable and confusing morning, as she wasn't allowed to go "do her business" on her own but went out on a leash instead.  Then, when she came [...] Click to continue reading...

When Schmid Met Schelotto…

6
This is the face of the only coach to ever win the MLS Cup  with a team that had not finished better than 6th in the three previous seasons. It's also the face of the only man to win the Cup with two different teams. Why the Galaxy would have ever let him go is beyond [...] Click to continue reading...

US Team and Perfect Weather

0
I was at DSG Park this morning and it was pretty awesome. The US national team is in town for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Guatemala and I am covering it for www.goal.com. It is a thrill to be watching these gifted national team players and writing about them. This is made all the better when it is seventy degrees and the Rockies are snow-capped.

Do or Die in Kingston for Cummings and Jamaica

1
I know all eyes will be on Commerce City for next Wednesday's US World Cup qualifier against Guatemala but spare a thought for Jamaica and Colorado Rapids' Omar Cummings as the Reggae Boyz take on Canada in Kingston in a crucial match. While the US has already qualified for the next round of World Cup qualifying, Jamaica have to beat Canada at home while hoping, in reality, that Mexico beat Honduras away.

Pearce's Rostock Coach Fired

8
Like a few other American players this past weekend, Hansa Rostock defender Heath Pearce had to watch from the bench as his team drew a home match with VFL Osnabruck 2-2 in Second Bundesliga play. The Hansa board and fans, after years spent in the First Bundesliga expected to be further along by now in their quest for promotion back to the top flight, not languishing in 12th place with only three wins in 12 matches.

The Rapids: Where Do We Go From Here?

1
It's been two weeks now for the tears to dry and the hearts to heal. It's Real Salt Lake who play Chivas tomorrow for a place in the conference final and not the Colorado Rapids. The season is over for the boys from Commerce City, I am back from my UK trip and it feels like a good time to try and figure out what happens to the team from here. Click to continue reading...

Seattle Signs Former EPL MVP (No, Not That One!)

16
MLS's newest team, Seattle Sounders FC, is making a lot of noise this season even though they haven't even played their first match yet. I discussed Seattle's first big signing here. Now, they've got themselves a Designated Player too, but it isn't Thierry Henry, who many pundits thought they may be able to persuade to [. Click to continue reading...

MLS Postseason Predictions (Second Leg Edition)

Wow, did anyone listen to my playoff picks a few weeks ago and decide to bet a little money down the stretch on the teams I picked? I sure didn't. I wish I had though, as I was (uncharacteristically) right on when it came to who would be the postseason squads. Kansas City, New York and RSL all secured spots in [. Click to continue reading...

Pablo Mastroeni, Captain Marvel for the Colorado Rapids, was initially called up for the US team to play Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow but will now be staying in the Rockies. Pablo injured his knee in the LA game on Sunday and won't make the trip to the Caribbean island having been called into the squad after the 6-1 trouncing of Cuba. Click to continue reading...

Man's inhumanity to man

0
This post has nothing to do with soccer. It's here because I couldn't sleep.
When I got my first LA apartment, I lived on Berendo St., right near where it intersected with 3rd. With the rent I was paying, I didn't expect the neighborhood to be posh, but it still gave me pause to see a heavy-set bearded man lounging on the sidewalk near the local donut shop.

I'm home and still catching up, so this will be brief.  We're undergoing an audit by the State of NH at work starting tomorrow and running through the end of the week.  (As Princess Sparkle Pony would say ...

STO Soccer Film Review: Bend It Like Beckham

0
Since I savaged Ladybugs late last week, I thought today I would write about a girls' soccer movie that got it right, Bend It Like Beckham. Unlike Ladybugs, BILB didn't disparage the women's game or feature any cross-dressing (unless you count the fact that Keira Knightley looks like a boy). Writer-Director Gurinder Chadha really did exceptional [. Click to continue reading...

Know Your Opponent: Trinidad & Tobago Edition

6
The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, or T&T, is found on a small archipelago in the southern Caribbean. 96% of the population lives in Trinidad and the other 4% live in Tobago, which leads me to question why Tobago gets equal billing. T&T is famous as the birthplace of calypso music and the steelpan drum. Click to continue reading...

Know Your Opponent: Cuba Edition

The Republic of Cuba is the largest island of the Greater Antilles and the most populous nation in the Caribbean. The name "Cuba" means "great place" which, depending on your political preference, you may or may not agree with. Cuba has been a Socialist Republic for almost fifty years now, but its history extends as far back as 1492. Click to continue reading...

Michael Bradley To Play in Bundesliga

2
U.S. MNT midfielder Michael Bradley, aka "MB", was dealt by his Dutch side SC Heerenveen to a newly promoted member of Germany's first division. The team's name?  Borussia Moenchengladbach.
