1-0 is a Very Nice Score

JordanCornblog 31 October @ 07:14 AM EDT

The USWNT beat Germany 1-0 on Thursday.

And I'm liking that 1-0 score this morning, as the Bates Bobcats (that's the women's soccer version) ended their season on a high note, beating the Colby College Mules 1-0.

Meanwhile, here in NH that 1-0 score was the result in an upset of Hopkinton by Belmont in the Class M Girls' Soccer tournament.

Ghana World Champions 2009!

Football Fanaticos 16 October @ 11:19 PM EDT
I lived in Ghana for many years, and it is with happy nostalgia that I have seen that the Ghana U20 team has won the 2009 U20 World in Egypt, by defeating Brazil in the final, 4-3 after penalty kicks! This is the first time ever an African team wins this tournament, and breaks eight years of South American dominance in the tournament, although Ghana was also in the final in 1993, losing to Brazil Click to continue reading...

The theory here is that one of these two players will be starting next to Dejan Jakovic when the Canadian returns from hernia surgery. Click to continue reading...

Springfield MO Soccer 05 June @ 11:50 PM EDT


Incarnate Word Academy Red Knights - 5
Glendale Falcons - 1
The Falcons, who gave up two goals in the first 9 minutes this evening, were not able to overcome that early deficit in falling to the favored IWA Red Knights. The Falcons did narrow the deficit when freshman Molly Brewer confidently placed her penalty kick in the side netting in the 19th minute but it was the Red Knights who generated the offense in this game.
