I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, one of the best parts of putting together the Thursday Challenge every week is seeing the commenters come up with answers (and correct ones at that!) that I never anticipated. This week was no exception. Not only did Andrew M. and Dennis W. both answer all [...]

Sporting K.C. v. Philadelphia Union (Friday) This is the first of two very tasty matches on the MLS menu this weekend. This is a “must win” match for both clubs, not so much because they are in second (Sporting) and third (Union) place in the Eastern Conference, but because Houston and New York are just [...]

New England Revolution v. Portland Timbers (Friday) There’s no doubt that the Revolution’s offense has finally found its “shooting boots.” In the last month they’ve scored eight goals in three matches, including tallies from new boys Milton Caraglio and Monsef Zerka, but it wasn’t until last week against Dallas that they finally won a damn [...]

New England Revolution v. New York Red Bulls (Saturday) Based on the last month or so the Revolution might want to consider adding the Latin phrase for “Finding a way not to win” to the team logo. I applauded (moderately) the signing of Milton Caraglio and the emergence of teen sensation Diego Fagundez, but I’m [...]

As I predicted last week, the challenge wasn’t anywhere near as difficult as I thought it would be and as a result we had what I believe was a record number of participants- all of whom submitted the correct answer! The usual suspects- Andrew M., Andrew B., and Harry J.- chimed in, but they were [...]

New England Revolution v. Chivas USA (Saturday) All the talk in New England this week was about the signing of the club’s first Designated Player, Argentine striker Milton Caraglio. Not all of that talk was good, however. Supporters are concerned because Caraglio- just 22- has already suffered a knee injury serious enough to cause him [...]

With less than a week to go before his first match in charge of the USMNT- and against Mexico, no less- Jurgen Klinsmann has announced the 22 players who will be suiting up for this “friendly.” Klinsmann has already made it clear that he wasn’t going to call back players whose seasons are just about [...]

As you may have noticed, yesterday I posted a brief reminder in the hope of getting more people to remember to send in their answers, and it worked- sort of. Henry J. emailed to tell me he was away on business and hadn’t been able to participate- it’s nice to know that there are still [...]

One natural and understandable outcome of the departure of Bob Bradley and the arrival of Jurgen Klinsmann has been renewed discussion of the current state of the USMNT as well as what changes Klinsmann might make and what changes he should make. With his first roster selection Klinsmann made it clear that he was going [...]
