Dear Robbie Findley,

We're sorry we underestimated you.

Seriously though, talk about a Jekyll and Hyde game versus Turkey. With the exception of Bornstein, who got burned at least twice, that second half team might need to be our starters versus Eng-gal-land.

Now the butterflies start

We're entering the final few weeks before the World Cup Finals start. This week will be full of friendies, team building exercises, and the last cuts before the World Cup squads are announced.


I know I'm getting excited because I just plunked down two-hunny on matching US home jerseys for myself and my daughters. I'm only temporarily employed, and have been previously unemployed for well over a year and a half. Sometimes passion makes you do stupid things.

I'll deal with the guilt after the Cup. :)

It's Preliminary World Cup Team Announcement Day!

It's like Christmas for soccer nerds!
Personally, I'd like to see Buddle, Herc, EJ, and Davies called into the US camp. I think the U.S. has enough forwards to afford bringing in Davies without leaving someone critical out if he's not fit.

We'll find out in a couple of hours. Then all the soccer boards will implode.

ETA: Davies was left off the squad. According to Bob Bradley, there were still some medical issues as relayed to him by Charlie's club. It's sad, but I understand. That's alright, it gives him time to get ready for the next World Cup cycle.

Off-topic

Mr. Barnes should take a tip from us responsible parents and put a leash on his ID.



My rebuttal, since the Revs won't post it as a video reply.
