Bottom line is that the US needs a true number 10 in the center, who can be the quick, accurate 'link' player. Landon has these capabilities, I...

I'm curious as to why the entire four-man officiating crew was from Honduras. Aren't the refs supposed to be from a neutral country with nothing...

Just looked on IK Start's web site, and it was on 12 July 2009 against Odd Grenland, a 2-1 Start victory. Goalkeeper looked like he was glued to...

Whatever the personal ratings, it's nice to see a good (team) effort from these players, rather than some of the 'stinkers' that we've seen in the...

... Shows what training day-in and day-out at a high (higher) level can do (and learning discipline/professionalism). I thought MB played a very...

I'd agree with previous assessments, that overall the caliber is (very) roughly that of MLS, but with greater inequality between the top and...

Finnish pesapallo is not close enough to American baseball that there is cross-over, sorry. At least that I know of. Probably a bit closer to...

I've played over-50 football with his father Ian, and with/against Robert a few times in Sunday pickups games in San Jose, and I believe that...

Best how? Best as in most successful? How about Roy Wegerle? Good to very-good goal scorer in England. Natural talent but injury-prone? Tab Ramos....

Winning ugly is still worth three points. Watching the game I cursed each and every US bad touch, giveaway and lazy play, but the bottom line is...

I played against George several times in San Diego, in the Scripps Ranch Old Pros, in about 2000-2002, and he also played in the Earthquakes...

(Shades of the past: AEG Meddling, Alexi Lalas ...) So does this mean that the Galaxy will be moving somewhere hot and humid? I hear New Orleans...

I can't help but think that AEG is somehow responsible for much (most?) of the chaos. Interference, interference, interference - much like what...

Disappointed. ... by the lack of basic skills shown all too often by the US 'outfield' players. I can recall few instances of cleanly trapping...

Exactly! Better a loud, full (well-behaved, one can hope!) stadium than the way it was at the beginning of the US-Canada game. Sad how empty...

I'd agree that games at Spartan Stadium don't sound as loud on TV as in person ... at least from watching them live (in the sad, sad 'Quakes...

the players/coaches had better get used to it - this was a prelude of what we'll see (away) in qualifying for SA2010, clogging up the middle and...

I'm getting used to Bruce and Eric, some insightful comments, but I did want to pick up something and throw it at the television when DOB started...

Re: MLS to the Twin Cities? Pardon me for asking perhaps a dumb question: what ever happened to Midway Stadium in St Paul, near the fairgrounds?...

Is this really true? Isn't the new Wembley stadium cost already up around a billion and a half (not sure if it's sterling or dollars). IIRC, some...

From what I've seen of Canada lately, and knowing a couple of their youth team players (through their parents / seen them play), I think that the...

back to being a big fish in a small pond ... the german curse lives on for Landon.

Yes, much better! Doesn't matter if it's an obscure dialect of Mandarin, it's better. If you understand the game, the language just gets in the...

kind of what I was hinting at, maybe we need to abandon this style of play (or non-play as we saw today) and go with more of a wide-open speed,...
