Welcome back – But is it time to go?Sorry for the long gap in between posts. It won’t happen again.- MKOLately, we’ve been thinking about the future of Steve Cherundolo. After leaving the University of Portland in 1999, the 27 year-old American right back took a chance by starting his professional career in Germany and can safely call the move a success. In that time, the trajectory of his career

Zinedine Zidane is the best soccer player of his generation. The best the world has seen since one Diego Armando Maradona. He’s won every major trophy available and no one in their right mind can second-guess his accomplishments or legacy. A little over a year after retiring from international soccer, Zidane announced yesterday that he is doing an about face and will return to Les Blues to

Some say familiarity breeds contempt. That’s not necessarily true, but after yesterday’s affair at Giants Stadium, I like to think it increases the likelihood of some crazy isht going down. Having played eachother just over a month ago in World Cup qualifying (US won 3-0 at Panama), the US National team survived a sun-drenched epic-length affair and defeated Panama on Penalty kicks to clinch

Here’s a riddle: If the “Victory Train” and “Qualification Train” depart from opposite ends of the same track, what happens when the two collide in a New Jersey swamp?The United States and Honduras answered the riddle Thursday evening at Giants Stadium when they met in the Gold Cup semifinals. The US edged past Honduras 2-1 thanks to a late header by defender Oguchi Onyewu and secured a place in

So just donde va Borgetti anyway?Mexican international striker Jared Borgetti is nothing less than an icon in the eyes of our neighbors to the south. His exploits over the better part of the last decade have put him alongside the greatest goleadores in the history of Futbol Mexicano. With his next goal for the national team, he will become his country’s all-time leading goal scorer. He is also

Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis was on his game Saturday against the Fire. His second half penalty-kick save, along with a string of stops of sure-Fire goals had me wondering just how good a #1 the Revs have in Reis.To answer, let’s first put this question into proper perspective. From Jim St. Andre to Walter Zenga to Jurgen Sommer to Adin Brown, the Revs have always started a name goalkeeper

Castro will never let Landon Donovan into Cuba.The USA’s dominant attacking player entered the match and turned a game that was heading towards disaster into a comfortable 4-1 victory in Seattle’s Qwest Field (aka Paul Allen’s playhouse). His two goals put the United States atop the Gold Cup Group B standings and gave the team the type of start expected of the tournament favorites.Props to the

Project 2010, US Soccer’s audacious plan to conquer the soccer world, has been lauded and laughed at in the same breath. Its critics accuse it as being anything from overly ambitious to downright arrogant. However, the Project took a giant step forward Saturday afternoon when the US U-20 Men’s National Team defeated Argentina 1-0 in both teams’ opener at the FIFA World Youth Championships in

Ten years of Major League Soccer has seen the league’s players grow in stature on the worldwide market. The next ten should bring new and interesting developments on this front. Look for the league to offer better pay in order to eventually compete with Mexican clubs for top South American talent, which sells tickets all over the globe. Until then, MLS will continue to turn NAFTA on its head
