Like most of you, I sat through the US-Spain game on Saturday. It wasn’t enjoyable in any sense in the first half and while the second half got better it was still rather…ugh. Generally I’m a fan of playing the top teams in the world. I am. You get to put your best out against…[continue reading]

It was fun while it lasted huh folks? The 2010 FIFA World Cup is in the books. Spain is our champion and the Dutch will be complaining about this one for decades to come. SO what do we do now?

Yup, Bob Bradley cut his 24-man roster down to 20 today. Honestly I feel this friendly on Wednesday against Spain will be just like the one last week against England. Not good. But sometimes low expectations yield good results. We will see. Goalkeepers: Dominic Cervi (out of contract), Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Tim Howard (Everton).…[continue reading]
