Man of the Match

I was 7-1 in round of 16 picks (damn Belgians!). For the quarterfinals, I have Columbia, Germany, Netherlands, and Argentina advancing.

Just continuing from yesterday's thread, I don't think the Wondo opportunity was ruled offside. I feel for the guy, still, one can picture other players in this position. One stands to get a rebound if they kick it on frame and one would think a lot of talent would have made this.

A moment that will go down in US soccer-lore, should he have made it? A bit like the Field Goal missed by the Buffalo Bills in the Superbowl.

Best to leave it at that.

In particular, the 2016 Copa America Centenario, will be a fun tournament. The best South American teams along with the US and Mexico, with all games played here in the US.

I think this could become a permanent fixture that could rival the UEFA Euro Tournament.

One of the things about the US performance in the WC, it’s definitely going to make me pay much more attention to the U-17 and the U-21 teams and track how they are doing. I am really curious what moves Klinsi is going to make. I suspect he is going to bring in a lot of young players for next year’s Gold Cup. Bradley and Dempsey may have played their final games for the USMNT. It’s all about getting ready for 2018 and that begins today.

I’ve been to the Everton boards this morning.

Never thought I’d see the day where to normally jaded English soccer fans would be using the term “Legend” to describe an American soccer player, like Tim Howard.
