US MNT and news

That stands for United States Men's National Team for the uninitiated. That's soccer. I'd expect an awful lot of soccer in this space over the next 6 weeks.

The match Tuesday against Morocco was pretty disappointing. The team looked pretty disjointed and coudln't really get anything going. The fact that we lost is meaningless - in these games we're not looking at results, we're looking at quality, and there wasn't a lot of it Tuesday.

Tonight's match against Venezuela (from CLEVELAND! - I just was too lazy to drive up there to watch, I'm bad) was mutch better. I think the opposition were worse, and they weren't packing it in defensively, which helped, but the boys looked much b tter in attack. The play in the final third was still lacking as players just weren't in tune with each other in the end. That's to be expected, I think. That's also what these 3 sendoff matches are for.

This post has just given my glossed over thoughts on these two matches and served as a warning - expect more of this.


Oh, and we're going to have a boy. It's been confirmed.
