The Kin of Fish has selected the topic for the sixth Carnival of American Soccer so it’s time to get writing (Here is the BlogCarnival profile). And what an excellent topic it is:

Carnival of American Soccer #5

Having fallen off the face of the Soccersphere firmly onto our local youth soccer pitches, I managed to miss the call for posts for the Carnival of American Soccer #5. It was a good one – asking contributors to write about the background, character, story, etc. of their local MLS team. The posts that came [...]

US Soccer Carnival IV – US Open Cup

Don’t miss the 4th US Soccer Carnival over at My Soccer Blog. Many excellent posts about the US Open Cup and how to improve it.

Keep (and Tweak) the US Open Cup

With the 2006 US Open Cup entering the Quarterfinal round later this month, Mike H over at My Soccer Blog wisely chose the USOC as the topic for the 4th American Soccer Carnival. Should it be kept or folded, and if kept, how could it be improved?

US Soccer – Now What?

In the past two months we’ve seen our US Men’s Team head to Germany, exhibit mostly conservative play, get schooled, and lose their head coach. While many may be distressed by this turn of events, I see an opportunity for a new beginning and fresh start. In keeping with the topic of the upcoming 3rd [...]
