Dest is an OK player for international play. But he is not a "huge loss" as there are a number of OK players, just OK in a different way,...
Within reason age is not a problem for 'keepers so, yes, Turner can still get better again or he can get worse or he can stagnate. In fact there...
Folks, during the last several bunches of years we have had a number of great goalkeepers and a whole lot of good ones. However whatever was...
Due to a couple of really stupid owners (One of the Texas Rangers and the other Oakland Athletics) I had two very enjoyable evenings at baseball...
I remember that but I was talking about recent history. Namely the last WC. What happened way back in 1994 has no meaning for the current squad....
What i remember from the World Cup is a boring plodding snooze-fest of a 0-0 draw that really should have been reported as not being played as...
This is really quite simple. To win the Olympics we only need The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Nothing short of divine intervention will give the...
It is really quite simple: We are just about good enough to lose to just about anybody. Also there is the fact that Colombia has a decent coach...
There is nothing wrong with having and using speed. I, and every even moderately successful youth coach, use speed when it is available and we try...
It is not. But it is very direct play. Of course there is nothing inherently wrong with direct play except many people seem to think that even...
I do not remember even one goal she scored but i do remember a number of misses. Just because I do not remember them does not mean that she did...
This is kind of progressing/regressing in the direction of being a "best forwards of all time when in their prime" type thread. However, taking...
Or, "Each generation hangs from the gallows constructed by those before." :D That seems to fit what happens with the USMNT quite often,
while true and exactly what I keep saying in the form "You choose the best players you can find and then design a simple system to use them." It...
I thought the award was delayed at least an hour or two. I almost never watch post game or half time or pre game as 99% of what is said and done...
Yeah, I had a brain fart and actually forgot that a PK win is not a win. And, no, I do not think the venue had much effect on this match and...
The two most relieved people in the stadium are Dunn and Rodman.
USA with two friendly wins in a row. We were lucky but sometimes lucky is better than good.
Sonnett hits a VERY bad PKs all even again.
I wonder why Rodman was chosen for the first shooter. She misses, OK she hit the goal but the ball was so weakly and poorly hit that a zombie...
Its a shootout. I actually have some concern but i think our shooters are better than Canada's. It is actually allowed in the FIFA regulations...
I do not think we will have extra time. These are just friendlies and I have never seen extra time in friendlies.
Well we have a very soft penalty. Why am i not surprised? Canada is VERY good at drawing penalties. I do not think VAR, if used, reverses that...
I mentioned it earlier but this match is being played without the interference of VAR and that makes even the first half a MUCH more watchable...
Shaw does not even get an assist for that beautiful, Messi like, pass to Rodman to set up the goal. Too bad, she really played well.
