Fresh off of last weekend’s near upset of Arsenal, David Moyes has been been trying to add talent to Everton in an effort to avoid relegation crash the top four. The problem as always with Everton is a lack of money. Adam Smith was quoted once as saying, “Everton are so po’, they can’t...

1. Kasey Keller Simply put, Keller’s the best goalkeeper in Major League Soccer history. I defy anyone to refute this. The only possible argument against is that he’s only played half a season so far. But his performances so far for an expansion team have been off the charts. After fretting about the state...

Fig Jam One of my favorite movie quotes comes from “Top Gun” when Viper (Tom Skerritt), the hardnosed flight instructor charged with running the Navy’s Top Gum program, stares out into a briefing room full of hotshot young pilots and cooly declares, “Remember Gentlemen, There are no points for second place.” Generally, when it comes to sports I...

Fig Jam So, for a brief period I am going to take a break from criticizing the US Mens Soccer team. Yesterday’s win over Spain was epic and bought the squad sufficient capital to carry them through next summer’s World Cup. I have to admit that the victory was an absolute shock to me (and...

In order for the US team to advance to the semifinals of the Confederation Cup, they needed to beat Egypt by three goals. The US also needed Italy to lose by three goals to Brazil. Both those things somehow happened and the US advanced. But then also in the midst of those improbable games,...

The United States performance thus far in the Confederations Cup has been disturbing. Obviously Italy and Brazil are no one’s idea of a favorable draw, but Bob Bradley’s team often appears listless and without ideas. Since the 1994 World Cup, the United States Men’s National Team has attempted to build itself with a succession...

First he decides to spurn the country of his birth to play for Italy. And then he scores a stunner against us in the Confederations Cup. Total dick move. You know who else is a dick? Daniele De Rossi. He gets suspended for four games for elbowing Brian McBride in the head and then...

Blasphemy? Perhaps. But I believe Seattle would be well-served to offload Fredy Montero if, and only if, they could replace him with a speedy, goal-nosed striker. Real Salt Lake’s Robbie Findley, the Oregon State graduate, comes to mind. As this article attests, the Sounders have had difficulty finding the right balance with Freddie Ljungberg...
