Pinch Me

July 12th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 2 Comments »

…for I am in a soccer dream.
If you have yet to realize, let me bring something to your attention. Right now, as I write, we are in one of the most monumental times in American soccer history. Take a second to soak that in. I’ll get to all of the parts that [...]

Uruguay Next

July 10th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 4 Comments »

The U-20 Americans now have the prime focus of not only the soccer population here in the states, but also anyone around the world watching the tournament. This is quite a long build up to a game, and you can only hope that the pressure is not starting to creep in. But why [...]

USA beats Brazil

July 7th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 10 Comments »

That’s really all that needs to be said to garner attention. I don’t care if we are talking a U-10 American girl’s rec. side beating one from Brazil; that is still impressive. But we are talking the U-20 World Cup here, a tremendous achievement.
First and foremost I must say that in level of [...]

Don’t Focus on the Bad

July 5th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 3 Comments »

Copa America is done, with nothing to show for it.
Really nothing. Charlie Davies sorta kinda impressed me for a bit tonight, but I just haven’t seen enough. No young guys really stepped up. That is most dissapointing. No one even really impressed at this “tryout” of ours. Only two [...]

That Oughta Get the Hype Machine Crankin’!

July 4th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 9 Comments »

That is one way to rid yourself of the bad taste of Copa America…watch the best US Soccer prospect and his boys run up a 6-1 win against Poland, while possibly setting themselves up for a fat pay day in Europe.
On BigSoccer, this was proclaimed as “The biggest game of Freddy Adu’s career”, and that [...]

A Sad Day for US Soccer

July 2nd, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 23 Comments »

They needed a point, they were handed three, and they went home with zero.
Tonight’s game was one of the most despicable displays of finishing by a national team of men who get paid for playing this game that I have ever witnessed. I am personally embarrassed to be a part of the same soccer [...]

U-20 Yanks vs Korea Recap

July 1st, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 1 Comment »

Yesterday the U-20 World Cup run for the young yanks got off to a very unassuming start. The red white and blue started fast off of a beautiful cross and head from Danny Szetela (Everton and now I am hearing Galatasary hopeful). Too soon after, the Koreans equalized as Chris Seitz was left [...]

The Day After

June 29th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 7 Comments »

Not really much to say here.
The early penalty and lead was fools gold and it is hard to expect a far less than “A” United States team to hang with Argentina for a full 90. That said, I am proud of the guys for how long they hung in there, but the last 30 [...]

Benny and Sacha

…beasts.
The Americans need to advance out of the group stages for the sole reason that we can have more epic podcasts. Click the link. I want a video of the dancing.

Game Day Notes

June 28th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 4 Comments »

Ok folks, we are only a handfull of hours away from kickoff and it is time to go over my notes for the game.
Ives made a post on his brilliant blog today predicting the US lineup from a picture from training and the result looks pretty accurate as I agree on all acounts. The [...]
