I know I haven’t done a whole lot of Women’s World Cup talk these last couple weeks (a shame I know) but I thought this was cool photo of President Barack Obama and his family watching the game from the White House. I know his two girls play soccer but wouldn’t it be something if…[continue reading]

Just as the hexagonal was thrown out late last year in hopes that CONCACAF would get an extra automatic qualifier in the 2014 World Cup, CONCACAF is back at it again with a new proposal to the FIFA Executive Committee. CONCACAF has submitted a new proposal for the 2014 World Cup qualifying that see the…[continue reading]

Remember that little rumor we discussed the other day about CONCACAF and World Cup spots? Well, that didn’t go as some had hoped. FIFA sources told the Associated Press today that the six member confederations will receive the same number of World Cup spots for 2014 as they did in 2010.

Sure enough FIFA announced that Qatar, not the US, would be hosting the 2022…[continue reading]

Pretty much everyone and their mother has had opinons on the World Cup bids for 2018 and 2022. I had covered this a bit over the last year or so since the US Bid Committee came out and said they were wanting to host one of those two Cups. The last couple months I sort…[continue reading]

I believe most of us saw this coming before long. As FIFA is set to announce who will host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups later this year its been no secret they want a European nation to host the 2018 Cup. The US had been holding strong to the fact that they could host…[continue reading]

Sure Los Angeles doesn’t have a NFL team to fill this potential venue (yet, I always believe someone will move there again) but the designers of this stadium in east LA have one big thing in mind, the World Cup. Not to shabby looking either if you ask me. The LA Galaxy owners AEG Majestic Realty…[continue reading]
