I realize I haven’t posted in a while but to be honest, I probably would have just ranted about something or other so I decided to keep myself limited to 140 characters.
However, do to some serendipitous events, possibly due to some planetary alignment or the SuperMoon, I found myself flipping through all the games last night and felt the urge to write something.
First, besides the late games (Goats cramming those attending into parts of the stadium to make it look fuller than it was, and Smurph fans scared of a …

When the season started, there was a lot of talk about how this season would provide the first ‘balanced’ schedule and the closest we’ll get to a true Supporters Shield winner. Champions of the ‘we need to be like Europe’ philosophy jumped all over this opportunity.

I sent out requests via Twitter for people to send me the Hashtags they use to Tweet about Soccer in the US.

Boy, talk about sore losers. For the record, I’ve always been a Sigi Schmid fan. Even when fans in LA wanted him gone because the style he brought to the HDC was ‘boring’, I’d remind those complaints that he does win….silverware. Yet, for whatever reason—reasons we’ll probably never really know—Sigi was let go while LA were at the top and replaced by the worst MLS coach to be able to say he coached a team to the title.

I remember this place.  Seems like the season was just starting when I last posted…oh yeah, it was.  Things have been crazy and will probably continue that way for a while.  However, I will try and post on here when I can.
Am I the only one outside of Ohio or the NY/NY Metro area that is excited about the MLS Cup Final?  The last few years I’ve come around to accepting and actually enjoying the playoffs–must be because LA haven’t been involved.  The match Saturday night in SLC was entertaining.  …

Wow, this surprises me.  I’ve been to Crew Stadium exactly once (for an MLS Cup Final) and besides the fact that it reminds me the Erector Set I has as a kid, it was a nice facility.  One thing which did get me though was how the South End was raised like it is.  I always figured it was for them to place a temporary stage below.   However, now it looks like there’s gonna be a stage at the ether end which really doesn’t make much sense.  But I’m sure …

The US-Mexico game in Columbus next month sold out in 20 minutes yesterday. Well not exactly, but it’s still pretty impressive.
Tickets went on pre-sale a week ago to local groups, Crew season ticket holders and fans who have registered at ussoccer.com. This was done in an effort to get as pro a US crowd as possible. However, I’m sure a decent number of enterprising Mexican fans will have managed to get tickets as well.
But for someone who has followed US Soccer for over 15 years now, this is about as …

If Columbus can beat Fulham…what are the leagues best going to do? I mean, Columbus have one of the worst records in the league…they currently don’t have a coach and yet, in this friendly, they got the win.
Yeah, it’s only a friendly and Fulham probably didn’t have anything close to their strongest line-up. But still, why should this result give me any reason to tune in to ABC on Saturday?

It’s been on the cards for at least a couple of seasons. But the Crew finally decided it was time to try someone new at the helm.
Robert Warzycha will take charge in Columbus while they find a full-time replacement.
Being the pessimist I am, I’m guessing he’ll be replacing Steve Sampson in LA next.
