Let’s Go USA!

Clearly the World Cup has handicapped my ability to write new blog posts nearly as much as I intend to way-back-when.  Sorry about that.  It’s ok though – this too shall pass and we’ll soon be in the summer lull with no sports (aside form midseason baseball, whoopee).  In the mean time, though, the boys in Red/White/Blue play today and I couldn’t be more excited.  I am actually in Scottsdale for work although I am taking some impromptu PTO hours to make sure I can watch the game!

I believe that we will win!

Til Next Time,

USA!

The day is finally here!  The United States will kick off its quest to get past the Group of Death at 6 PM today.  The optimist in me believes firmly that we have a chance to make it out of the group stage and do some damage in the knockout stage.  The realist in me understands that we are probably not quite there to stick around til the end this time…

Either way – I’m pumped and can’t wait to cheer on the boys in red/white/blue!

Til Next Time,

World Cup Roster – USMNT

RoadToTheRoster_23_1200x800

Just a fair warning: I’ll probably let soccer take over my blog a bit during the World Cup.  As of yesterday, Jurgen Klinsmann announced the final roster.  What do you think of it?  Was keeping Donovan off a big deal to you?  He never did much for me so I’m kind of glad to see a roster spot opened up for new young bucks.

I’m pumped either way – just over three weeks (23 days) til kickoff in Brazil!

Til Next Time,
