UPDATE: H/T to commenter Drew, who made these 3 mockups based upon this which is the confirmed home shirt. Also Drew provided us with the image you see to the left which, while small, pretty well confirms that this is the real deal. Last night these two shirts were brought to my attention by loyal [...]

The one thing that made that friendly against Slovakia a little better was the knowledge that, come Monday, Bob Bradley would be able to completely revamp the roster for Wednesday’s friendly with Denmark. That would mean that you could dump, say, Sacha Kljestan (who’d better not be allowed to even listen to Ladysmith Black Mambazo [...]

Three new entrants into the 2010 World Cup after yesterday’s action, and they are New Zealand, Nigeria and Cameroon. The huge African showdown in Cairo produced a 2-0 win for Egypt (including a goal in the last minute of stoppage time) that now necessitates a playoff match in a neutral site on Wednesday between the [...]

Luckily we’ve just got two matches, and remember we’re looking for the winner of the individual matches, not the overall tie. Actually, this is a one-off that goes to ET and PKs.

Promoted or Relegated? We take on the Interlull FULL FORCE (because we’re bored to death!)

Look, we’re bored. You’re bored. The Interlull is boring. It’s mostly friendlies this time ’round and some Euro-spot playoff matches (Portugal sans Ronaldo? Uh-oh!). Quite frankly, I wanted to talk about something, so I popped the boys via email and suggested this. The concept is simple. I present ideas, and the lads either “promote” or [...]
