Re: Time to move on. So when's the next U20 camp? I am certain there are many people here who would be happy to mock your words.
You're still wrong. This wasn't an MLS game - it was a CONCACAF game. The refereeing in this game, and MLS' feelings about it (if any), has no...
I'm all for arguing about the merits of the IFFHS, but the argument about the EPL really doesn't seem like it belongs in the Statistics and...
Ah the voice of reason! It would be foolish to call someone in the day before the game. There's little benefit to the coaching staff (not really...

Re: Roster for Mex "You must spread some reputation around etc. etc." Let's wait at least three games before throwing any players on the...
My flags were in my carryon luggage to and from regionals, and I had no problems (and no extra searches). I've also carried them on for out of...
So after 4ish years way I just signed up for a new team (i'm calling it Flatirons FC again). What are the best threads/sites to read to get back...
7350 feet is not a trivial altitude, especially if you are coming from sea level (and especially if it was a really smoggy day). I agree though,...
Here's the link (to a pdf): http://www.ussoccer.com/Referees/Resource-Center/~/media/4C69CADB4EE740E682D66EC47F5589B6.ashx Here's the relevant...
Like the op, I first registered in 2002 and am now a grade seven (and working to get that game count up for 6!). I've taken two breaks from...
How about strapping on your running shoes and running the streets around your hotel? Ask the front desk for advice on a good routs, map it with...
This was from yesterday, but I'll still include it here.... Was doing a dual on a HS JV girls game - two smaller schools with players with a...
Another great resource are the "Week in Review" podcasts, stories, and video clips that USSF puts out, at...
The ATR may be dry, but it is the most important book of those that you mentioned for referees in the US to read and know by heart! The ATR has...
Great movie - I only wish it was longer so we could get more match action! I liked the off the field bits, but as a referee, I wanted to see more...
Is anyone meeting up at a Denver (or other metro area bar) to watch the USA/Mexico game?
Apologies for the off-topic thread. Anyone know of any sports bars in Boulder or Denver that will be showing the Copa America (and particularly...
I don't think they violated the first amendment (although i am also no a lawyer). The big difference in the blog post and last night is the...
It was interesting to see Scott McCaslin (the 4th official) try to do his job and control the sideline across a language barrier. I'd never...
Yup. It was him, me, and a Rapids staffer getting quotes for the web site. Lots of leg room.
No one was into the game last night (heck, in the media room postgame there were only two journalists there to interview Clavijo), with the...
It's April in Colorado. I don't expect the Saturday morning forecast to correctly predict Saturday afternoon. At least there's a roof where I'll...
We can stop carping on hypotheticals; the author sent me a copy of his paper. I haven't worked my way through it yet, but if you want a copy,...
Completely agree with your entire post, njref; and until we read the paper, we have no grounds for evaluating the (good and not so good)...
