It is a dawn of a new day for the US Men’s National Team. Jurgen Klinsmann’s first game as the US coach is a big one, against arch-rival Mexico. There is no way of getting around it, this one will be anything but friendly. Throw away the result a few weeks ago in the Gold…[continue reading]

We’ll know on Monday who Bob Bradley picks for the US National team for this summer’s Gold Cup and for the upcoming friendly against Spain. I figured today would be as good of a day as ever to throw out my 23-man roster that I think Bradley could select come Monday. As we know this…[continue reading]

The battle is on. If you really consider it a battle. Sporting Kansas City’s Teal Bunbury and New York Red Bulls’ Juan Agudelo seemed joined at the hip right now with everything that they do. The two are good friends off the pitch and probably have a lot in common because of that. Yesterday they…[continue reading]

All I can say is wow. Yeah. Wow. This goal last night by Juan Agudelo was pure class.

I’ve been meaning to write up something like this for a few weeks now. Ever since New York Red Bulls star young striker Juan Agudelo scored a goal for the US National team against Argentina, I thought to myself, and said to others around me at the time, boy I hope this kid doesn’t bolt…[continue reading]

This young group has an average age of 23.4 years! The lack…[continue reading]

A move I called for several weeks ago finally happened last night. The New York Red Bulls have signed prized academy player Juan Agudelo to a homegrown Generation adidas contract. A member of the U.S. Under-17 national team and product of the Red Bulls Youh Academy, Agudelo impressed during preseason with the club. There had…[continue reading]

Even with all the strike talks for Monday (or Tuesday…or whenever) I’m still going on with some 2010 season previews for Major League Soccer. Today I wanted to center my focus around the moves in and out that hav been made with the league this year. As some of you know I’ve been doing my…[continue reading]

When you have a young star waiting in the wings you need to act smart and relatively fast. Right now the New York Red Bulls want to do just that with U-20 and Red Bull academy star Juan Agudelo. He told the New York Post’s Brian Lewis yesterday the only hurdle remaining is waiting to see if…[continue reading]
