Tweet Over at the Footcer Socblog, incendiarymind notes that ESPN is running an online poll asking what is the most interesting event: US in the World Cup, NBA Finals, or US Open. They even break it down by state (GeoIP is so cool) and the blue states, World Cup, is winning big. I went and […]

Wow – What A Bizarre Day. Good, But Bizarre
Tweet I want to send a shout out to Jarrett @ TriSoccerFan for putting together today’s World Cup Party at Cary’s Fox and Hound. Every wall with space on it had widescreen projection TVs – there was not a bad seat in the house. We packed the whole family in the van and headed out […]
Will US Fans Finally Have An Edge?
Thanks to nearby Ramstein Air Base, the US may have an edge when it comes to fans at the match. With tens of thousands of Americans in Germany to see the World Cup, plus the folks from the air base, a lot of fans will want to see this match. If they can get in.
Here’s Hoping They’re Ready For Eddie’s War
Tweet Today is the day we suffering US fans find out if our opening match was a major fluke or a sign of something much more troubling. After a few days of sniping between the coaches and players, declarations of war, and the movement of the team to a US military base, we have to […]
0-3 Wasn’t A War – It Was Getting Carpet Bombed
I have a suggestion for Eddie Johnson. Lets not get the Europeans any more upset with us than they already are. I know you’re trying to get psyched up for the upcoming match, which is great, but calling it a war, not so much.
It’s All About The Stoppage Time
Tweet Wow! What a day! I had a busy day, but was able to catch Saudi Arabia and Tunisia over lunch. Saudi Arabia looked to have it locked after pulling ahead by a goal from their best veteran and then Tunisia ties it up in stoppage time. Dagger! But I wasn’t able to watch Germany […]
A Little Headline Humor
Tweet The Big Lead has the best headline for a World Cup photo I’ve seen yet. Priceless. I still can’t get over France passing out when they were 1v1 with the Swiss keeper. Ouch.
World Cup Fans Face Threats
Soccer fans in Islamic countries are being hassled more and more as they try to enjoy the beautiful game
Wonder If Best Buy Has These In Stock
Tweet How cool is that. Put the big screen in the middle of a river and fans can watch from both banks. This is in Frankfurt. Too bad the BBC had to pull the plug on their big screen efforts. Things got a bit too rowdy. With all the writing going on in the Soccer […]
Thinking Positive – US Fans In Deutschland
Tweet With all the doom and gloom, it’s nice to see some bright spots for the US from the Cup. It turns out our contingent is making a splash acting like soccer fans should – loud. WorldCupBlog has a number of video clips up from a group partying hard before the match. Gotta love the […]
Wonder If The Odds On Brazil Will Change A Bit
Tweet It is clear most people are in awe of Brazil, tracking their arrival like the descending of the gods. The #1 team in the world is viewed by many as unstoppable with a roster overflowing with talent and a hard earned reputation of playing on a higher level, having won 7 straight World Cup […]
POLL – How Will the USMNT Do Against Italy?
Tweet Well if I was up until 4AM working on the site upgrade I might as well give the new stuff a spin. So let’s try a poll. Feel free to add comments as well. Here’s hoping they come out on fire!
A Little Self Criticism Never Hurt Anyone
Tweet Now that we US fans have had a chance to sleep, hopefully the sting of yesterday’s loss is a little less intense. Mmmmmmmm Nope. Bruce really tore into the team and specific players yesterday in his frustration. Can’t say it was undeserved. But I’ve yet to read a single comment from him related to […]
The Perfect Gift For US Soccer Fans
Tweet After yesterday’s humiliating loss, I stumbled across the perfect gift for the dejected US Soccer fan in your life. No Worries Man!
