The Full Men’s US National Team lost to Honduras 3 to 1 last night in an international friendly in Carson, California. Although the loss is sure to bring down American fans, the result was not very significant. Furthermore the match appeared even more meaningless as a tryout for particular positions. […]
It is easy to envy a guy like Stuart Holden. He’s young, good-looking, and possesses great talent for a sport that many of us are unhealthily obsessed with. He has just finished his contract with a team which plays in a league that his talents have outgrown. He is ready for […]
Clint Dempsey injured his knee recently and many fans including myself will be holding their breath until news of the severity is shared later today. Hopefully Dempsey won’t be out too long, and from the early indications I can’t see this keeping him out of the World Cup. We’ll see […]
HD is soooo two hours ago. With the 3D entertainment trend re-awakening after decades in hibernation (seems like I’m one of 3 people who hasn’t seen Avatar yet), ESPN has announced that it will be launching a network broadcasting sports in 3D. Stupid glasses required. The very first such event […]
Fulham have confirmed that Eddie Johnson is on loan to Aris FC until the end of the current season in June. Freddy Adu may transfer to Aris FC on a year and a half contract. So what is the story on Aris FC and why might this be a good […]
The new coach at Belenenses in Portugal decided to release Freddy Adu back to Benfica recently. This can’t be considered a good loan spell because Freddy Adu rarely saw the field at Belenenses. His experience was very similar to his time at Monaco in France. Both of these loan stints […]
Although I think DaMarcus Beasley is a player with the tools to be a top contributor for the US National Team, I would not say that his recent form means that he should have an automatic place back in the US National Team. Beasley needs to show consistent form for […]
The first group of players for the U-20 National Team that will compete for the 2011 U-20 World Cup will be getting together after the New Year for a training camp. There do not seem to be any friendlies scheduled and the list of names includes most of the important […]
The new crop of under 17’s did not have a great showing during the recent Nike International Friendlies in Phoenix, Arizona. However, all these 15 year olds learned exactly how far away from beating the best in the world they are. Wilmer Cabrera, the US U-17 coach, has given his […]
I was glad to see that Freddy Adu got a little playing time with Beleneses recently. Amazingly, even on this struggling team Freddy Adu can’t get solid playing time. He, DaMarcus Beasley, and any other Americans sitting on the bench might want to think about coming back to MLS for […]
