Another season of AYSO is in the books. Once again I coached a U-14 boys team. That means the
team consisted of 12 and 13 year-olds. We were the Honey Badgers.
This year was tough. We played 10 league matches. Our record was 0-9-1. Our goal difference was
minus 26. We didn't score a goal until our 6th match, which coincided with out first lead of the
season.

Inglostadt x 1860 Munich - Audi Arena - I didn't know it at the half-way point
of my trip, but this would be my final match. Since I was in Munich on a Sunday, the odds of a
lower divison side having a nearby match were good. I'm extremely lucky that Inglostadt, a city one
hour North of Munich, was hosting TSV 1860 Munich.

Mine is Billy Corgan!
The problem isn't that the USA didn't get the World Cup. If Australia, Korea, or Japan got the
tourney, we'd all be sad, but it wouldn't so horrible. Those are places we (as soccer fans) want to
visit and experience. No one "whining" about the bid deision has a problem with the World Cup in
the Middle East.

It's been a week since the World Cup ended. The post partem depression pretty much set in right
away.
Here are the moments I'll remember most.
Landon Donovan's late winner vs. Algeria to send us into round 2. The national response was
amazing and completely unforeseen.
The USA's comeback against Slovenia including Michael Bradley's face as he got mobbed by
teammates on the touchline.

Uruguay and Korea is. 5 minutes in, and no one has scored, although Korea did just hit the post.
Here are my predictions.
Uruguay will beat Korea. It will be close, but Korea showed a lot of nerves in
their game against Nigeria, and Uruguay is more composed. Composure is a key trait that's becoming
more and more important in this World Cup.

Finally, we've finished all the 4:30 AM (PST) matches. It was a rough 10 days, as I only failed
to wake up once for a match, Slovakia vs Paraguay on Sunday. I did watch most of the replay on ESPN
Classic later in the day.
We Yanks had a controversial match, but instead of rememebering the disallowed goal, this moment
is going to forever be stuck in my head.
