It’s a Funny Ol’ Game…

I have to laugh sometimes at how people jump from one extreme to another. We seem to have become a bi-polar society or something—not that I’m an expert on the topic or anything. The American soccer fan is a prime example of this.

Pride for Africa, Gold for Spain

Is it just me or did the World Cup seem to last a lot longer when I was a kid? Argentina, Spain, and Mexico those World Cups all seemed to last half the summer. The entire summer seemed to revolve around them. This year it just blew by.

Honk of you’re winning

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.

The Big Match

I was 10 years old when I got to see Ipswich play on TV for the first time. It was in the FA Cup Final. At that time, I figured the whole world stopped so everyone could watch the match and it was an even bigger deal cuz my team was actually playing this time.

MLS:  Fair & Balanced?

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.

We suck, so here’s your money back

I don’t know that this is the right precedent to set, but what do I know? To be honest, I’ve only seen the highlights and hope to watch the entire match tonight. However, giving the fans a credit on their account (to be applied to their season ticket renewal I assume) isn’t going to help the team much….but it may be an incentive for ticket buyers to renew. Ok, it is an incentive for ticket buyers to renew.

It’s a dirty job but

I’ve always thought it would be cool to coach a national soccer team. Yeah, it would take a lot of work, and success to find yourself in that position. But to make some good money traveling around to games to see the countries top players. Always have a great seat made available to you….

Stop telling me what to think

I’m sorry, I’ve put up with this for years.  However, this soccer related elitism our friends from Britain (or who want to be from Britain) want to impose on us “Yanks” has got to stop.

How much is enough?

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.
