This field is so effing brutal that it's almost not even soccer. I can't blame any player for messing up. What an embarrassment for US soccer. Can't wait to see which tradition holds up: "Dos a cero" or USA conceding a late equalizer...

I made it out to the practice this morning. Since the media can only report on the first 30 mins, I’ll go ahead and write what I saw. Caveat…this is from a fan’s perspective. I’m no football coach and I never played higher than h.s. so take it with a giant grain of salt. My two major take aways...

Pink eye my man, pink eye. The only reason I'm able to respond is because I'm at home with my first ever case of pink eye. Or else I'd be reading and itching to reply but unable to do so.

Whoa whoa whoa, let's not cry a river for teams like Man U, Man City and Chelsea, who have spent PLENTY of $$$ bringing in the top players in the world (including several starters for the #1 national side in the world from 2008-2014). It's about spending wisely as well, plus getting the right...

Soccer doesn't move the needle for the mass American radio audience. These stations need to make $$$, which means they need ratings, which means they need to talk about topics that people will listen to. Hardcore soccer fans in the USA are fervent, but miniscule compared to NFL fans. So I don't...

I don't understand why a reached-his-ceiling-club-team player like Wondo keeps getting called up, and how a 24 yr old that the MLS hasn't even called up (Ibarra) is getting a shot. Surely we have better forwards and midfielders available than those two, don't we? I just don't get it. I'd rather...

The media covered yetserday's practice, so there's no reason to rehash what they already wrote. It was a boring practice anyway, with the team, as CoachD put it, with dead legs and the coaches dialing things back. But the media had to leave before the best part of practice. Here’s what they...

You gotta admit though, when Negredo was healthy and he had confidence he was BALLIN' and was clearly the preferred choice over Dzeko. I couldn't believe how well he was playing, both scoring and dishing impeccable passes. Then he got hurt, lost his mojo and could never get to 100% again. With...

I mean, it would be awesome right? I know my wife and I would be down for that, 1000%. My brother was a part of one of the Galaxy fan groups, and sitting with them was fantastic. I would be all for this...sadly, I turn 40 next month, so I'll probably be dead by the time I am allowed to even...

I would throw that game against Bosnia out. They SMOKED us in the first half, leading 2-0 at the break. Then they made 3 subs at half, taking out 2 of their top defenders and a top midfielder. That's when the US made their run. And the U.S. was without Dempsey and started Brooks, and Jozy was a...

They had teams, but SEC fans kept on getting confused because some of the announcers would use the word 'futbol' from time to time, and it was just too much thinking for them. So, they decided to make it easier for the fans and disband most programs. True story bro.

Fabian Johnson might not even start...there's no way he's one of our best players right now. Bradley is in a different stratosphere than him (I remember you said you weren't very high on him...not sure why), and then you have Howard who is a world-class goalie. Dempsey is back on form. Johansen...

Bummed about Landon. I would have taken him for his WC poise/balls. A if we get knocked out in the first round, you can bet people will be pointing directly to his exclusion as a big reason why. And man, I was way off on Timmy Chandler. He refused to play for the US and hasn't been a part of...

Chandler is on the borderline list for the 30 man roster, much less the 23 man roster. There is no continuity there, there is a chemistry problem with his teammates, there are major questions about hai commitment to the national team, etc etc. Even with a month together, and with Cameron IMHO...

My dream scenario was Atletico winning 3-2 with Torres scoring both goals. Yeah, I know Torres sucks but there was a time when he was arguably the top striker in the world, and his championship-winning goal in the Euro 2008 tourney that lifted the elephant off Spain's back was my favorite...

I felt like an SEC fan today. With tons of family in Barca, we grew up as Barca fans. But since I've only visited and never lived, I've never DEEPLY hated Madrid like a true Barcalonian. So as a Spaniard, I rooted for them hard today (rooting for Pepe made me sick lol). I personally have nothing...

Since I don't have a BPL team, I always root for the team with the most Spaniards (except for Liverpool this year...since they play such an attractive style and since I've always been a bit partial to them since the days of incredibly in-form Fernando Torres), in this case Chelsea. But when...

It's gonna be a phenomenal game, no doubt. And while I REALLY enjoy watching Liverpool and have been driving their bandwagon since about their third game (I'm a Barca fan so I don't have a Premier League team), I think Man City has a better chance to AT LEAST get a point this weekend. Reason...

Goaaaaaaaal Bradley!!!!

I'd love for Wondo to be on my club team, but I'm not a fan for him to neon the national team. Just doesn't do enough for me. Against national team defenders, he's never proven to be a difference maker. I can see him MAYBE as a 4th striker on the team, but really, I'd much rather see Green get...
