it’s been over a week and the anger persists. every time i think about it, i still start to boil over in a fit of rage. and if you’re an american soccer fan, i don’t doubt that you feel the exact same way. and all this hate can be attibuted to just one man. yes, i’m […]

revisiting “boarding passes, please”
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 […]
ten words or less #2
well it seems like this has become less a blog about soccer, and more a blog about apologizing for not blogging about soccer. and while i feel that my series of recent prolonged absences on the blog can be easily justified (starting a new job, moving into a new house, increased travel for work, planning […]
ten words or less
so as i mentioned in my last post, i’ve had some trouble with the volume of links that i’d like to post for you all to read here on the site. and frankly, it’s driving me crazy for two reasons: there are so many quality links out there, that i feel like i’m cheating you […]
round up #19
sorry kids, i’ve been busy as hell. it’s been a rough few weeks for the blog, as i adjust my life around my new job. one of these days, i’ll hopefully figure out a way to balance my work life with my soccer life. and though that day is not today, i figured a second […]
the missing
it’s the game’s biggest stage, and that stage features the world’s biggest stars. well, most of them anyway. every four year’s, hundreds of millions of adoring fans to watch the brightest stars of football shine during the world cup. unfortunately, some of those star names don’t get the final invite to the the big ball […]
round up #18
i’ve been slammed lately, and i’m sorry about my lack of posting. there’s so much going on my head is spinning: i start a new real world job next week, i’ve been doing some wedding planning to earn brownie points with my future wife, and i’ve finally replaced my non-functioning old phone with a new […]
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 […]
round up #15
for as much as i hate the highly packed winter schedule that the premier league throws at the clubs (it’s like 15° outside and the league feels it’s necessary to make each club play three times in two weeks. why put so much stress on the players?), i go a little stir crazy in between game […]
