First Impressions - San Jose Earthquakes 2 : 1 D.C. United

2008-09-07T04:25:00+00:00

So Moreno is hanging out with Butch and Sundance, and Emilio's hurt, and I'm thinking, "Well, with Crayton in goal and the steadying presence of Bryan Namoff, Peralta and the new infusion of energy from Joe Vide, perhaps we can eek out a goal on a counter while keeping San Jose at nil." Except, of course, we have neither Namoff nor Vide nor Peralta, and Martinez was clearly watching his "Best of Facundo Erpen" highlight reel.

Geostadia match report: RailHawks v. Battery 9/6/08

2008-09-07T04:16:15+00:00

Wake Med Soccer Park is one of the finest venues in the United States to watch soccer, if you have a car. The total absence of public transportation to the stadium would be more noticeable if anyone seemed to mind.
A light crowd came out to see the last place Hawks roll the dice in their bid to reach the post-season.

What should Coach Soehn say at halftime?

2008-09-07T03:28:00+00:00

I'm a bit behind at halftime on TiVo. But what can Coach say to the team at halftime that is down 1-0 with no offense on the field?? What good is defense at this point?

I'm brainstorming:
1. "Martinez - push forward at will." Thompson for Doe is confusing me.
2. "Simms - shoot from anywhere.

Yesterday I had planned on writing a preview of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, but I had no time at all to do it. I thought I would have time to write it today, believing that the qualifiers would be played on Sunday. Unfortunately I was very wrong, so I was out enjoying life in southern Arizona while the qualifiers were being played.

Youth vs. Experience

2008-09-06T16:54:52+00:00

No Cooper. No Adu. No Altidore. Really? To the disappointment of many American fans (myself included), Bob Bradley continues to call up players like Brian Ching, Eddie Johnson, Frankie Hejduk, and Eddie Lewis over younger players. The most common excuse given by supporters of Bradley's strategy is the experience argument.

From the Eagles website: The game was back and forth for the first 10 minutes but Kickapoo found the net first off of a defensive mistake. The Chiefs would tally 3 more goals in the first half the last one coming on a questionable penalty kick call.
