The Bell Tolls for Erpen
By: Max J. |
No Comments
Yeah, look, I’m not going to pretend to shed too many tears for Facundo Erpen, most of which I think are based on optimistic attachment rather than any real impressiveness. I think we all liked him, in varying degrees, and he made all of us nervous, in varying degrees. After last night’s defensive […]

Rarely have I missed RFK more than during tonight’s lightning delay: a chant of “This Isn’t Baseball”? Barra, Eagles, La Norte…I love you guys. If only there’d been a “Let Them Play!” shout-out to the Astrodome scenes in The Bad News Bears II, it would have been perfect.
Oh, right. The actual […]

Hooray for short weeks!
Hooray for games on ESPN2 (= I don’t end up spending thirty bucks at the bar)!
Hooray for relatively weak opponents for a rebound game!
That about covers it for the general points. As for the specifics…

I am working on a game preview as we sort-of-speak, but for now, I want to lay praise at the feet of The Offside’s new UEFA Cup blog. I’m not unbiased, since I moonlight as a Tottenham fan and therefore have just a slight interest in the tournament. But as Ian, the blog’s […]
Jay Nolly Never
By: Max J. | No Comments
Poplar Point Perspective has the definitive point about Nolly’s start, though I disagree with the first part:
Nolly wasn’t as bad as I thought he would be. I have to say, I am not happy with the decision to give him the start. Starting every game shouldn’t be a problem for a goalie with no injury […]

Unfortunately it was RSL, seems it has been a very long time that DC United has had a victory in Salt Lake or Denver!
It did not take long for Findley to fit right into a struggling team and DC gives RSL their first victory!
Goff reports the aftermath.
League round up!
Ben Olsen is going to […]

By: Max J. | No Comments
I’m not going to single out Boz for a bad performance in a night without any good ones, uut the growing “What is happening to Bobby Boswell?” chorus does deserve some answers. There is an uncomfortable element, it seems, of complacency in Bobby’s game this year. Before it’s mentioned, I really don’t think […]

By: Max J. | 1 Comment
Before the game, Esky caused a minor stir with some comments on United:
“They pride themselves on being the cream of the crop, and you can see by the quotes in the media and stuff that they have a bit of arrogance. They are good, and year in and year out they are one of the […]

There are some games that just defy the need for analysis, and this is one of them. Salt Lake is, point blank, a pathetic excuse for a soccer team, so bad that you wonder why the local paper hasn’t called in Joe Posnanski to write a requiem for the season already (sorry, arcane baseball […]
Casal for Nigeria!
By: Max J. | No Comments
And now for something completely different: I am actually enthusiastically endorsing the call-up of a United player for a international tournament. Obviously the Bob Bradley voodoo doll is out and I hope he keeps his hands off of Boz, Olsen, et. al. But after some thought, I’m actively rooting for Casal to be […]
