La primera que vimos fue la de Obama, la asunción de Barack Obama. Es notable como podemos hacerle zoom y zoom y zoom hasta detalles inesperados.

Monterrey pierde contra el equipo Aztex de Austin, un equipo juvenil que pertenece a la United Soccer League, se dice que es un liga inferior a la MLS.

Estoy de acuerdo que no se debe de hacer mucho relajo por esta derrota, estoy de acuerdo que es un partido amistoso, estoy de acuerdo que mas que partidos de preparación, el viaje es como un paseo o un premio para los jugadores por el bien momento que esta pasando el equipo, incluso realizaran un Tour por las instalaciones de la NASA, y no dudo que el shoping también este incluido.

For those of you who attended the NASA Classic this past weekend, I hope you agree with me that the tournament was a success.
The field conditions were great and thanks in large part to tropical storm Fay, the weather was awesome for a late August soccer tourney.
Instead of the sweltering summer heat which would normally have been hanging over the players, the weather was windy and overcast – make it a pleasant outing. Click to continue reading...

7-0!

This is a continuously updated post on my experiences as a "player's parent" with the local Atlanta area youth soccer scene.
Below is a list of all of the clubs in Atlanta and beneath each is my "review" of sorts. For each review, I have qualitatively assessed player quality, coach quality, and sportsmanship. Click to continue reading...

Well, with Dynamo spread across the hemisphere this morning, the main team in Guatemala for tomorrow's opening leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup against CSD Municipal and Stuart Holden and Patrick Ianni with the US Olympic squad playing against Cuba in Tampa tonight, I thought it an apt time to post this video of seven adopted Houstonians turning the Florida sky a decidedly Dynamo shade of orange early this morning.

Look closely for the football. The image you see here at left is a fabulous photo of a previously-unknown crater on the planet Mercury, dubbed the Spider Crater for obvious reasons.
