Is anybody out there?

There are so many different sites for posting status updates and sharing thoughts that the idea of a personal blog with no objective seems really pointless. That's probably why there have been no posts here for almost 2 years.

Meh.

USMNT Roster Announced

Bob Bradley announced his final 23 that he will be taking to South Africa for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It can be found here: US Soccer

All I have to say is: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... NO CHING!! Bradley FINALLY realizes how terrible Ching is. But Bornstein is in. He is another player that is so terrible at the game of soccer, I wonder how he even gets paid to do it. He played so horribly last night in the game against Czech Republic. He tried to play up as a mid half the time it seemed. He is worthless. He better not touch the pitch in South Africa.

Everything else about the roster looks pretty solid. I am glad he left Kljestan out as well. Gomez played pretty great last night. I'd like to see him starting with Altidore. He hustles and doesn't quit like my boy Charlie Davies (whom I am still upset about not making the roster).

Gooch and Holden were the only starters playing last night since they are both getting over injuries. Holden played a real solid 90+. Gooch came out after 65 minutes to ice his knee and didn't play the greatest, so we'll have to see how he does Saturday to know for sure about him.

Goodson showed some promise and he's tall. He created a goal off a corner due to his height to get up over everyone. Findley didn't even play last night which means Bradley must've planned on bringing him. I am surprised he is going over Ching actually.

Edu played like crap even though he scored his first international goal last night. It was cleanup though. He is not a great ball handler or distributer so he shouldn't play in the middle and he played awful defense causing a goal for the Czechs, so I am not sure where else he could be useful. I am not surprised he is going, but I will be surprised if he sees any time over Donovan, Dempsey, Holden, Torres, Clark or Feilhaber.

I am really looking forward to see how we do on Saturday against Turkey in the friendly. It will give us a chance to get some minutes with everyone before we head over and see how the new crew meshes with everyone.

Appalachian Trail



My roommates and I hiked on the Appalachian Trail through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park! What an amazing experience!
