I would never advocate heckling a referee, but this is funny: NFHS game a couple of years ago. Game
going well, decent crowd, nothing really unusual. Crowd is relatively loud, but it's just all
background noise. Until, all of a sudden, a hush falls over the stadium and you hear this one loud
voice from the [...]
I'm with Mike H at My Soccer Blog - this is going to be a REALLY nice stadium for the Red Bulls
that actually looks like it was meant for soccer. Of course they'll host concerts and other events
- but it's a soccer stadium first and foremost. But what's with the black rectangles in [...]
So Iraq wins the AFC Asian Cup, with a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia and advances to the Confederations
Cup, to be held in June 2009 in South Africa. The US will be there as well, having won the CONCACAF
Gold Cup. Want to start a betting pool on the US and Iraq [...]
While adding a few additional soccer blogs to my RSS reader, I decided to include the 'new' US
Youth Soccer Blog, which is part of their new website redesign. Only problem is - there is no RSS
feed!!! Wow. How can you launch a new blog in 2007 and not realize that RSS is what [...]
So we're out at a tournament this weekend - #2's first real matches with her Challenge team. The
girls are wearing their new uniforms and having a ball. #3 (he's 4 yrs old) is being spoiled rotten
by one of the soccer mom's on the sideline when he asks "Did everyone on the team go [...]
I know many in the soccer world rolled their eyes when they heard that David Beckham was coming to
America. We all knew the media circus that would surround he and his wife Victoria. That simply
couldn't be good for the beautiful game in America. I was sitting in a bar recently (watching the
USWNT [...]
I happened to be browsing through some new soccer blogs over at SoccerBlogs.net, and came across
the ultimate motto for youth soccer. Touchline Dad has a son who plays for Crosby Stuart FC. Their
motto? To Enjoy, Not Destroy Can't put it any clearer than that! A number of people who stand along
the touchline need to [...]
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! As anyone involved in youth soccer will tell you, while we have PLENTY
to be thankful for, the #1 thing most soccer parents with kids on travel teams are thankful for on
Thanksgiving is the Fall season just ended the weekend before! Our first free weekend in a LONG
time is coming [.
Don't worry guys - I didn't get run over by a bus. Somehow the off-season in June became a really
busy time, so I've hardly had time to think about blogging (and mowing the grass!). But I've got
LOTs to write about, so sit tight. I see a light down ye ole tunnel and should [...]
For many of you this will be a 'Well, duh!' post, but I'm behind. I admit it. So I'm sure this was
news a few months ago... SoccerBlogs has always been a great resource for readers of soccer blogs.
However, as the number of blogs and posts grew, it was hard to keep up with the [...]
Remember when I wrote about being certifiable? Well, coaching two teams, plus having three kids
playing soccer who aren't on either of my teams made for a really busy soccer season. I barely had
time to breathe, let alone write. I guess I could have written some, but I was pretty wiped out. So
lets [...]
Ever since tryouts, the girls on my U11G Challenge team have been looking forward to the start of
practice. A few have played some pickup together, gone to summer camp, played in 3v3 tournaments,
etc. But this is a new team made up mostly of girls who have played coed in Rec, so they've been
[...]
Recall the post from Josh as he combed the NY Times archives for early references to soccer or
football. He managed to find a tidbit from 1885 about 'Association Football' and I wondered which
PR genius thought 'Soccer' was a good term. Well it turns out the term was really Sock-er. Scary. I
like footie [...]
My webhost has been having some serious issues the past couple days, so the site has been up and
down. They've been working to fix the problems and it seems to be better now, but we'll see if it
lasts. site issues, webhostingShare This
