Something that I hadn’t heard in a long while about the next World Cup, FIFA president Sepp Blatter is entertaining the idea of moving the World Cup to the US in 2010 if South Africa isn’t ready. He didn’t say the African host was going to be unable to host or be ready for the…[continue reading]

Wynalda Tells It All (Drunk)

I ran across this article from FulhamUSA about a conversation/interview/drinking with ESPN and former USMNT striker Eric Wynalda. I have to say it is one of the funniest things I’ve read all week.

2014 Cup vs. 2018 Cup


With this past week’s announcement from the Washington Post about the USSF possibly getting the 2018 World Cup, it has had me thinking for the last few days. Sure there is a great speculation about which stadiums could be used. For the most part  you could use a stadium that was built since the last…[continue reading]

World Cup in the US in 2018? or 2014?


The Washington Post reported today that the USSF is looking to place a bid for the 2018 World Cup. However, if Brazil and Columbia’s bids to host the 2014 World Cup fails through, then FIFA may grant the USSF the Cup. Early reports indicate that Brazil, who is the front runner for the 2014 Cup,…[continue reading]
