way back in january, i wrote the longest blog post i’ve ever written outlining who i thought bob bradley would be taking to south africa this summer. i’ve been anxiously awaiting the day bob would finally announce his 23-man roster, just to see how well i would do predicting bob’s simple mind. that day has […]

sometimes the timing isn’t right
The other day I was cutting the grass at my new house — which had grown quite long due to the previous tennants being lazy bastards — and was feeling like I was cutting elephant grass in India. It was a windy day, and as I was pushing through the nearly knee-deep grass, I saw what I thought to be a leaf […]
boarding passes, please
the build it up for this summer’s world cup has been, at times, agonizingly slow. this was especially true after last year’s drama-filled confederations cup and qualifying campaigns. don’t get me wrong, i’m thoroughly enjoying this european season. there’s been an near infinite amount of drama on that front as well (where to start? ghana […]
remember project 2010? i do…
let’s be honest… i’m amped for next summer. why? the world cup will finally return… oh yeah, i’m also getting married and yes i’m extremely excited about that too. though i do need to remember that i can’t imply that i’m equally excited about the world cup and the wedding, or else my fiancee may […]
a davies disaster
Though I doubt you are learning about it here for the first time, I’ll go through the motions just in case you hadn’t yet heard… USMNT and Sochaux striker Charlie Davies was involved in a deadly car accident near Washington, DC early this morning. It’s simply devastating news for the up-and-coming national team star, and it has […]

san siro shocker
First off, congratulations are in order to you Mr. Onyewu. After a collection of stand out performance at the Confederations Cup, you’re move from Standard Leige to AC Milan still caught me by surprise. While you have performed consistently well for the perennial Belgian power over the last few years now, it’s still a bit […]
Final Thoughts on the Confederations Cup
Well, Bob Bradley certainly did his best to make me look like an ass. For two and a half straight games, he served me my words on a plate. A very cold plate. And until the second half of the Confederations Cup final against Brazil, he did that very well. But thank god for that second […]
It All Makes Sense Now
My fiancée Amie and I were watching the US Soccer team’s Confederations Cup semifinal against Spain the other night, and she had a moment of brilliance. She finally pinned what (not who) Bob Bradley looks like… Many have long suspected monotone Bob is a robot. But he’s not just any robot. Specifically, he is “Sonny” from the […]
I’m Sorry, Mr. Bradley
Every other summer, the life of a soccer fan can be rather boring. With no World Cup or European Championships to look forward to, all we enthusiastic fans have to look forward to is the summer’s transfer fodder (And boy, did this summer’s transfer season get off to a crazy start!). But as far as getting […]
