Look, I respect SI.com’s Phil Guidry. In fact I would go as far as saying I appreciate his journalistic integrity. However, for the the second week in a row Phil has gone Danny Ocean on my game of the week- a full day after my post. So I am offering a plea to [...]

U.S. National team coach Greg Ryan indulging in local opiates

September 27th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Brianna Scurry will start for the U.S. against Brazil. I see. The 36-year-old goalie is better at “reaction-type saves” than the 25-year-old. That must be why Hope Solo has started every game so far.The U.S. is the No. 1 team in the world. On the men’s side, Brazil, Italy, Argentina, etc. don’t change their lineup [...]
