My friend Chris, has suspicions that I’m a bit of a Freddy hater. He’s just confused, see I’m just not a fan of players who dribble too much and end up passing up a shot at goal (see Marco Etcheverry or Jaime Moreno). But against Real Salt Lake, he had a great solo effort goal […]
Steven Goff is reporting that Brian Carroll has been called up for the world cup qualifier against Panama. Caroll’s had a strong season, leading United in minutes played. That’s not to say that he’s been a stellar player every game. He had a stretch of games around the middle of the season where it seemed
Funny soccer goals: Sometimes the ball is determined to go into the net no matter what the players want to do. (ht: Off Wing Opinion).
I quietly launched Soccer Blogs earlier this month but, after some useful critiques from my design friend Nam-ho, I tweaked the layout and added aggregate RSS and Atom feeds.

Can we hope that DC has a solid foundation for future success because it’s got a great crop of young American talent? Santino Quaranta is making a case for being a regular national team player. Undrafted rookie, as Rob Stone likes to remind us on ESPN ad naseum, Bobby Boswell is a serious contender for
Usually I’d just quitely file this in my delicious feed but let me say that I’ll be quite glad to see Amado Guevara leave MLS and if there’s anything I can do to speed the process along, let me know! While he may be a talented player, I more often remeber him for bad fouls,
So Chelsea did enough tonight to get a 2-1 win over DC United. The whole match was meaningless in the grand scheme of things, nothing really on the line for either team. Plus, you can’t take seriously a match where the opposition puts in 10 subs at half time! I found it hard to care
If you missed, like Staci and I did*, the USA-Honduras game last night, you can view highlight videos. It was probably one of the most emotional US games of the last two years. *We had to miss it because we are playing in a co-ed league and had a game scheduled at 7pm. Not upset
