Yeah, we all saw this one coming. I’m still mulling over the choice of Jurgen Klinsmann as the new head coach of the US mens national team. I’m still not convinced it’s the right direction as coach. However, there may be other things going on within the USSF which may be associated with the change which may prove this move to be a good one in the long-run. We just won’t know for some time.

I saw this coming but never thought it would get to this point. Now the media are reporting that banning those darn plastic horns at World Cup matches may be possible.

I don’t know if it’s just soccer fans or Americans in general these days but, well, these knee jerk hysterics depending on the latest result has got to end. Sorry but, yeah losing at the Azteca was a disappointment. But ya know what? We’ve never won there. Not once.

Like most other soccer fans in this country, there’s really only one thing on my mind today—the match at the Azteca this afternoon. I decided to watch ESPN last night just to see if there was anything and, as I figured it would be ignored, I could get my mind off the match and probably be put to sleep by endless Baseball and NFL training camp news. (I didn’t expect Rick Pitino to be the main event)

Happy …

Don’t you love a happy ending?  Here we were (well, I was) all worked up about potentially not being able to watch the US play their World Cup Qualifier at the Azteca.   I’d even called DirecTV to see what it would cost to get one (or both) of the channels just for the day–actually, I still haven’t heard back yet on my last email.  Oh well.

The sky isn’t falling …

Don’t get me wrong, losing yesterday to Mexico in the final of the Gold Cup hurt.  We should not ever lose a match that bad to anyone…especially not to our neighbors.
