I’ve been having a lot of fun–maybe too much–winding up my English friends ever since the World Cup draw in December. To be honest, the best thing about playing England in the first round of the next month is listening to their over-confidence and giving them grief on how little they really know about the sport of soccer in the US.

Kartik had a pretty scary post on his blog last night. The basic statement in the post was that EPL broadcasts on ESPN the last couple of weeks have basically blown away anything MLS is doing. Worse, MLS ratings in 1996 were better than they are now…bad news potentially.

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)

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.

I’m sure US Soccer fans are going to be dissecting the Confederations Cup run for a long time. Well, I hope that’s what happens. There’s a million talking points to examine.

I’ve really done my best to keep quiet here and leave my comments to simple tweets letting the media do must of the story telling. After all, it appears you, your ‘people’ and those in charge at AC Milan seemed to negotiate your end of the deal to stay in Italy via that medium. However, now that you’ve finally come on US TV and told your story to us (remember us, the LA fans?) I just have to vent a bit.

I recently lived in Colorado Springs for a year. One of the most frustrating things about living in “The Springs” was that the local paper had next to zero MLS coverage. Yeah, they’d have the occasional AP article about the Rapids (only an hour drive away) when they were at home. That was pretty much it. So, I was amused to read this in the Gazette.
OK, they did have a reporter at most of the local PDL teams home games and they did have someone cover …

It wasn’t that long ago that I followed the NHL. I’ve attended more than a few Kings games at Staples Center, I’d catch games on TV when it’s on and I usually know whats going on in the playoffs. This season, even though I’m a marginal fan, I’ve about as much of a clue whats going on in the battle for Lord Stanley’s Cup as I do about the NBA playoffs…and I have zero interest in the NBA.
The last few years have been tough on the NHL. …

It’s easy to tell myself, “Ah, I’ll post that tomorrow,” and then do the same thing the next day. It’s easy to get well behind…much like school work. Anyway, I’ve got a little time so let’s get caught up.
The MLSPU gave out a list of all the players salaries a couple weeks ago. Don Garber made some interesting comments about the difference in salaries. At the time, I thought they were a bit out of line. He’s hardly comparing apples to apples here. The …
