After reading the Trecker thread, I realized there are many thread titles I never want to see on the US Men's board. Plus, we can all use a little levity during these trying times. So... here are a few, please add your own. 1) Jaime Trecker signs with Soccer America 2) Cool photo: close-up of Beasley stretching 3) ESPN names Keough head of Soccer division 4) Mathis busted for pre-game Pabst Blue Ribbon party 5) New USMNT fashion spread for Hugo Boss in NYT mag 6) Landon's newest gal-pal: Angelina Jolie 7) Bocanegra signs with Swedish Div II side 8) Actual recording of USMNT singing national anthem before Mexico game now available from USSoccer 9) Freddy Adu to change sex, play for USWMT 10) USSoccer to bring back Sampson
Oops, I deserved that. I meant to put this on the USA Men forum. Mods, please move it. Not that it will make it a better thread.
the (Insert name of Adu/Stoichkov/Conmebol vs. Concacaf/brilliant ways to ruin the world cup thread) thread.
"Freddy Adu banned from American national teams; FIFA reveals Adu played for Ghana Under-seven national team." "Bruce Arena quits national team; Javier Aguirre named replacement." "Landon Donovan quits soccer, signs with LA Dodgers."
10) "New MLS expansion team, Cosmos" 9) "Friedel competing with Beckam, marries Scary Spice" 8) "Arena to coach El Tri" 7) "Agoos named to 2006, 2010 and 2014 WC squad" 6) "Does this look infected?" 5) "[Insert Celebrity here] is a soccer fan" 4) "Another example of Metro favortism" 3) "Bring Jack Back" 2) "Hristo to win MLS Humanitarian award" And the Number one thread I wouldn't want to read (drumroll, Anton) 1) "Has soccer made it in America?"
Why soccer is so boring to watch on TV What rules needs to be changed to get more fans? Reasons why MLS is not going to make it
