Premiership Preview April 10
Posted on April 10, 2008 - Filed Under Europe, Video | 1 Comment
A look at this week’s games in the English Premiership and also what will happen to the US contingency at Fulham when they get relegated. Will we see any of them return to MLS later this year or next season? Two potential returnees I think are Brian McBride and Kasey Keller. Both are tool old to play in the Championship and I don’t think that another Premiership team will give them a contract. The MLS would be enticing to them as they would get to come home and play.

U.S. v. Mexico: Pre-Match Inspiration
Posted on February 5, 2008 - Filed Under News, Video | Leave a Comment
Here is Feilhaber’s goal in the Gold Cup Finals that I referenced a few days ago in my musings on tomorrow’s U.S. v. Mexico game.
No doubt, one of the most significant goals in recent U.S. soccer history. I would wager a fortune though that Benny does not hit that shot as pure again even with twenty more tries.

But since its the Super Bowl, he comes up clutch. Benny did the same thing.

The FA Cup brought memories of previous FA Cup ties that I saw as a kid. Standing on the terraces of Wembley watching Man United beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final. Or following Coventry to Leyton Orient in the early 1970’s and having the ground be full of only Coventry supporters at the end as the Sky Blues won easily.

Top 5 Soccer Players of all-time
Posted on December 7, 2007 - Filed Under Video | 13 Comments
In putting together my top 5 soccer players of all-time my only criteria was that in order to be considered, the player had to be retired. That is why someone like Ronaldinho is not on the list. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the privilege of seeing all 5 players on the list live and in person.
The players are in order of who I think was the best.Disagree with the list? Add who you think should be on this list in the comments section or leave a comment if disagree with a pick.
