Three medals in three Olympics and finally a gold for CS12. The naysayers can blither all they want about about what makes a good match from a fan...
Although I occasionally check in here to see what's going on in the soccer world, I haven't posted on BigSoccer in years and didn't expect to ever...
I suppose if one is congentially incapable of saying "Oops, my mistake" that's about the only response left. Holy Moses. Projecting much? You...
Yo, Bat. Three. Not two. You were wrong. This is just more dilatory noise that has nothing to do with what was said, with or without the...
You said two. You were wrong. Try a little graciousness. Or suck it up. Actually, there has only ever been one defensive player who received...
Tancredi was Canada's top scorer up to that point, which is not the same thing as best player. Sinclair played in a withhdrawn position for most...
If I was going to be a smartass about it I'd suggest an intensive program of instructional camps concentrating on first touch and putting the ball...
Most of the post I can agree with, but unless the bronze medal game doesn't count, the only player on the list whose team was limited to two...
I think it's no surprise that the list is dominated by players from the Olympic finalists, but that's just because I'm old and jaded. Looking at...
And I'd be the first to admit that my knowledge of the French program's domestic workings is not detailed. The technical aspects of the French...
I have been puzzled by the French national side's inability to win big games. The Olympic bronze medal game was a pretty glaring showcase of how...
Odd how people don't want to play on surfaces that will leave them crippled. Edit: Is the new stadium surface turf or Turf?
Somebody should explain to these fine folks that converting grass to artificial turf does not "upgrade" a soccer facility. I'm glad the WWC is...
Teams don't waste a lot of energy thinking about rankings. It's mostly just fans who get worked up about them. I expect that US Soccer saw an...
Agreed.
Fair enough. It's supposed to be happening, if all the rhetoric is to be believed. Hopefully an 8-1 thrashing by los catrachos will help make...
Five years ago that would have been justified. I don't see it happening now. Think of how godawful TFC has been, and they aren't playing to an...
Australia has a coherent national program. Canada has a hodge-podge of half-baked provincial programs run by a weird mix of egomaniacs and soccer...
At the end of the day the coach has to wear the result, but I don't think that a new coach is going to take this team to the next level unless...
Congratulations Honduras, and good luck in the hex.
Well, that was emphatic.
I don't know. We live in a complex world where people change citizenship on a scale never seen before, for all sorts of reasons. I think FIFA's...
I don't know about being forced into attacking, given what got the team to where they are. They are sitting in second spot because they have not...
Which has nothing whatsoever to with anything under discussion here. FIFA penalised a player for comments about an incredibly poor performance...
Is dilemma Spanish for "up by two points going into the last game"?
