getting ready for brazil 2014

sweet relief

messi trained with the team and will be starting against colombia!

Centennial Success!

International Friendly USA v. Germany-- Sunday June 2nd:
what a match! amazingly beautiful goals from Jozy and Clint, world class finishes. unfortunately celebratory smiles quickly turned into anxious nail biting in the last 20 min. germany is my absolute least favorite team of all time so that win was especially significant to me but we had to suffer and sweat it out at the end there.

gearing up for the qualifying match with Jamaica in Jamaica i'm hoping to see more of Zusi and the most recent version of Jozy also i'm obviously i'm rooting for some PT for Edgar Castillo (NM Reppin').

messi es el mas grande, carajo!

always messi.

locura: el superclasico

craziness at the argentine superclasico (river plate v. boca juniors) at la bonbonera in Buenos Aires yesterday led to the closure of two fan sections.

Amazing Lionel Messi Interview on 60 min

pretty amazing shot

brad guzan... tp's man of the match

big point at aztca last night!

i looked around to find some player rankings from last night that match my feelings about the game. ESPN came closest. although i though Zusi had a better game than they gave him credit for. other than that I thought their commentary was pretty spot on. 

El único hábitat que complica los retos de Messi

a history of rivalry

usa v. mexico, estadio azteca-- tonight

fifa rejects costa ricas appeal to replay last weeks match v. usmnt. 

they say it's tough to play in mexico city

try la paz, bolivia. 

so gangsta

us fans are just as cra as any other international fans

blizzard conditions can't stop those yanks

i watched the usa v. costa rica match in a crowded manhattan bar on friday night thinking to myself "they are going to call this match at any moment". but they never did. 

i even posted this on facebook:

 "esos ticos no estan preparados para toda esta nieve! vamos yankees"

they say it ain't over till the fat lady sings..... 

 

i'm baaack! & we're number 3!

it's been a while i know. but things are heating up and we are rumbo al mundial!

"En la Argentina, Messi pasó de la mentira a Dios"

deuce face!

pretty damn awesome! usmnt go on the hexagonal CONCACAF world cup qualifiers round. 

when it really counts....

it's been a while amigos! but i'm back... just in time for world cup qualifiers for CONMEBOL and CONCACAF.

last friday messi provided a master class against uruguay in my beloved mendoza while the US made every minute count in a lack luster performance against antigua and barbuda. 

today, i am not watching the argentina game but we were up 2-0 at half time with another gol by messi and the US is bouncing back from a crappy start with a convincing lead against guatemala.

it's amazing to see a US dominated crowd in the heart of the country (sporting kansas city). that's how our boys should get rooted on every single time they play on american soil... that's how the rest of the world does it. 

on a last note, i think i finally forgave deuce for leaving fulham.

Fulham v. Manchester United

SO FRIGGIN' READY!
