Where Did Gabe Go?

January 16th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | 2 Comments »

Remember Gabe Ferrari?
Yeah, me neither.
But a friend was telling me he used to be quite the teen sensation across message boards and the like. He was 18 when he left the Red Bull New York Youth Program to sign with Serie A club Sampdoria, where he first gained fame by consistently making the bench […]

U-23’s Scorless Draw With China

December 13th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 1 Comment »

That’s not the performance anybody was looking for.
What was supposed to be a thrashing and goal scoring exhibition put on by the USA U-23’s under the guidance of new head coach Peter Nowak turned into a dull and disappointing scoreless draw with their Chinese counterparts in the first of a two-set of friendly matches in […]

Ok folks finally a lot to talk about and I am back.

Thirteen Minutes

They slipped, they stumbled, and they fell. They were relentless. Not once during this match did any USA player quit, no matter how ugly and disheartening the soccer was.
As USA supporters, we had seen this all too many times before. Most recently, the last time Bob’s boys took the pitch in Europe, […]

U-17’s Eliminated by Germany

August 30th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | 2 Comments »

Germany is a killer for the United States in knockout roudns of World Cups. Sure, this does not compare at all to 2002, but its a decent way to start a post.
The USA lost 2-1, the 1 being another Mykell Bates goal, to the Germans this morning. All in all you could say […]

U-17’s Luck Out Big Time, Chance to Advance

Don’t ask me how, but apparently, all of the events that needed to happen for the American U-17’s to have any chance of advancing out of the group stage have happenned, and now all they need to do is defeat Belgium to advance.
This is just the most ridiculous scenario to break free from elimination that […]

Making Impressive Progress

August 16th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | No Comments »

As I looked over the roster for the upcomming friendly with Sweden one thing really stood out.
The clubs our Americans are playing at have become an unmeasurable amount better in a very short time.
I know that may seem obvious but it is truly quite remarkable the increasing quality the Yanks abroad are now […]

Szetela and Feilhaber Updates

August 9th, 2007 | By: Carter Daly | No Comments »

Looks like both of these moves are going to go through.
Today Derby sucesfully obtained a work permit for the USA’s Gold Cup hero Benny Feilhaber. Sound like Commander Bob helped by writing a referance for his boy Benny to gain his permit. Feilhaber is expected to join the club soon after their debut […]
