Pardon me. I got a little excited. Ross County F.C. unveiled their 2009-2010 home kit today at Victoria Park in Dingwall. As many had speculated, it’s from the Adidas “Tiro” range (the “Spain” shirt to many of you) and, with the exception of the white left sleeve, I think it’s a winner. There was some [...]

Two matches this evening in Gold Cup 2009, and both are on Spanish-centric networks. Both matches are from Group C, and the 10 PM EDT match between Mexico and Panama should be quite interesting.

The calm, stately gentleman to your left is probably not known well to most fans of the sport. He isn’t the head of MLS, a team owner, or an agent. He probably doesn’t even know what the transfer window is or how to explain offsides. Harry Reid can be forgiven for those failings because, as [...]

Freddy Adu is a little bit of a mercurial figure for the U.S. men’s team. Fans and pundits wonder why he’s not playing, but Bob Bradley’s been pretty adamant that he stay out of the squad. Some people who follow the team closely have also opined that Adu is simply not that good; Sean Wheelock [...]

Or not. Even bringing my personal football and musical snobbery to bear I couldn’t pick a best group, so instead, a few words about each and I’ll let you choose your favorite in the comments section.

A VERY brief Ross County F.C. Update
Posted in Scottish Football League, tagged Ross County F.C. on July 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Word on the Ross County message boards is that the Staggies fielded an American trialist during their 4-1 preseason victory over Highland League side Forres Mechanics last night. Presumably this player would have to either a) hold a passport in a European country in addition to his United States passport, or b) have been capped [...]
