USWNT--the pride of American soccer.

Le Petel (Sp?) is our left back, and she actually gave away the PK, and was the player whose thigh the freekick redirect went off of. She had a bad game, and was subbed early in the second half. Our left CB is Buhler and she has no pace whatsoever. Rampone is the other CB who is the captain...

They had a bad game. Sweden saw there was no pace down our left flank and exposed it. Our women have been missing a ton of opportunities though. The missing shots didn't start yesterday. The Sweden loss doesn't matter, they were going to have to step their game up sometime. Maybe now they'll act...

And in other news, the pride of American soccer will be on tomorrow. I hope everyone tunes in to our "A-Team."

College soccer and high school teams? Kids in Europe, the Netherlands included, have U-7 year old teams, where kids are prepared to grow as soccer players, instead of the focus on winning competitions. Kids might be dynamite in America throughout the youth stages, winning domestic competitions...

So U.S. soccer is supposed to attract one of the most recognizable and desired names in world football? That is not going to happen, at all. The U.S. is not a desirable job for all of the world because there is a different mentality I talked about in my previous posts. USSF is not like Europea...

That's all true, it's not totally BB's fault, but where does the blame lie? When you take over a project improvement is expected. Bob had that going for him for a long time, but it just doesn't seem to be there anymore. That's why they do plenty of coaching changes in soccer, so things don't get...

I said he's brought it out in the past, it certainly wasn't present last night, and there are certainly benefits to having an American coach, just like there are benefits to foreigners. Soccer is much different in America than anywhere else in the world, and coming up through the system and...

Look I used to be on the fire BB and nepotism bandwagons, but I've come around to some conclusions. Mike Bradley is our best CDM, even better than Jones, and he should be first choice at that position. Bob Bradley works because he's American. The psyche of American players is different then the...

America is a nation of immigrants. Each immigrant is allowed to take pride in their heritage. Love it, share it, blend it in with American culture. When you live in America, however, you're now an American. You don't still cheer for whatever country you left to come here. If it was so damn great...

Gotta love him. Match rating wise, he was the highest rated player in the Prem through the first half of the season to his injury. Most likely he's going to be our midfield genereal for 2014. I'm a huge fan of Stu's.

Jozy is the best we have, and he started to look serviceable before his injury in the Jamaica match. Agudelo is way too inexperienced to anchor our front for the Semis and Finals. I've seen Rogers in some friendlies and I haven't been impressed. Bedoya has been in a lot of good positions and...

I think it fits our team well. Two of Bradley/Edu/Jones as the holding mids, with one licensed to get forward. Duece behind the striker, and I'd personally have Lando on the left so he can cut in on his right. Place whoever they want on the right with Jozy up top. Cherundolo bombing forward from...

Me and my buddies were dying when we saw that. Deuce played great and he definitely said what NDinL.A. posted. We played great in the 4-2-3-1. I'm so happy Bob split from the 4-4-2! Finally. Great match and I'm looking forward to the Semis.

The Women's National Team is the pride of American soccer, how can you not watch them? I'll admit the games aren't as great, but our women are tremendous and deserve our support, especially at the World Cup coming up at the end of the month. That was a fantastic goal, a wonderful strike.

You're all right. It was only a friendly, and I understand why Bob didn't want to play the strongest team, but the lack of effort in the first half was the worst part of it. I'm fine with losing to Spain, and I understand we had a weak team, but their lack of effort in the first forty-five was...

While there is an obvious lack of quality, there was a lack of effort in the first half. Second half was more manageable, and acceptable.

One of the Welsh teams needs to get in the top flight, so I'm not bothered with the way this is going.

Stevie G's reaction following ManU's loss to Barca. It's signalling five times, the number of European Cups Liverpool has. Basically ManU overtook 'Pool's record of 18 league titles, but they are still two Euro cups away from the other, more magnificent record.
