So I’ll take it. One-one against England to open the tournament is not a bad way to start at all. Sure a win would have been nice and we certainly could have gotten that but seriously a good result. Now the start wasn’t great. Allowing England to go up so early with Steve Gerrard’s sneaky…[continue reading]

It is so close we can taste it. One day away from the start of the World Cup and two days away from the biggest U.S. Men’s National Team game. Going into Saturday’s game and the rest of the group phase I do have a few questions to discuss. 1. How will the defense hold…[continue reading]

Youth will be served, that seems to be the theme for the U.S. Men’s National team roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Manager Bob Bradley announced his 23-man roster yesterday afternoon to the press and the world. I thought talking about it yesterday but I really wanted to give myself a day to cool…[continue reading]

Revenge is the thought in the minds of Real Salt Lake players tonight as they host the Houston Dynamo in the league’s showcase game on ESPN2. It was a month or so ago when the Dynamo hosted RSL on a Thursday night and scored a 2-1 win over the defending champs thanks to not one…[continue reading]

I caught this news earlier this afternoon. Real Salt Lake forward Robbie Findley has ended contract talks with the club and will leave the team and the league following the 2010 season. A move similar to his former teammate Yura Movsisyan did a year ago. Only difference between Movsisyan and Findley is that Findley has…[continue reading]

Are you ready for tomorrow? Seriously, are you ready? Eight games in one day, a new league record. We knew this day would come eventually with all the expansion in the league and kudos to the league for putting one so early in the season too. If you’re like me, you’ll find tomorrow to be…[continue reading]

So far the season is off to a bang, the Seattle Sounders FC downed Philadelphia Union 2-0 last night thanks to goals from Brad Evans and Fredy Montero. I’d be lying to you if I said that I wasn’t happy to see my score prediction come true last night. I highly doubt that trend will…[continue reading]

Boy, myself and a lot of others doubted RSL as they headed into a new year as defending MLS champions but today I’m at least starting to think differently about them. Today the club announced the signing of Costa Rican national team striker Alvaro Saborio. Saborio comes in on a loan arrangement from FC Sion…[continue reading]

Do we chalk this loss yesterday to Holland as a bad thing. Uh, yes and no. Yes because its a loss and one that showed us exactly where we stand. No because it did help US manager Bob Bradley out in figuring out who exactly he needs to take with him to South Africa. I…[continue reading]

I won’t go too into the match just yet, I have a plan on re-watching some of it later on today but I did want to give my initial player ratings from this afternoon’s 2-1 loss to the Dutch in Amsterdam. WVH USMNT Player Ratings: Tim Howard – 7 Jonathan Spector – 5 Carlos Bocanegra…[continue reading]
