Thanks for the new thread, Michelle!!



I totally agree about Villafana. I really don't know much about him, but he didn't seem to make any mistakes.

I am so happy for Clint and I still have lots of faith in his play and his contribution to our team. I hope he ties and breaks Landon's record the next couple of games.

jediwands

Agreed. I wonder what the Mexican League is like. Do you know anything about their professional league? What it's known for? What style of play?

jediwands

I know it. He deserves to break that record. It would be wonderful if he gets there AND we win both games or at least win one, tie one. Celebration all around.

everwoodfan52

I have heard that it is arguably tougher than the MLS. Not sure about anything else.

jediwands

Interesting! So physically tougher (style of play) or the talent is bigger/stronger?

everwoodfan52

I think it's the talent. Mexico does have strong players.

Bruce has definitely the right idea...

Bruce Arena says Jurgen Klinsmann lacked 'rhyme and reason' for many USMNT call-ups - Goal.com

Got it. It's too bad the Mexico league and MLS doesn't interact more.

LOL I love Bruce Arena. He's bang on. What's interesting is you know JKs son is screwed as long as Arena's in there. Not that he even has the talent to compete right now at the highest level, but there's no way Arena would ever take him anyway.

Arena is calling out JK BIG TIME, basically calling him a total idiot with political reasons for every pick, not what was best for the team and actual winning. That's so damn true and it's why I had difficulty supporting this team under JK since he was destroying it. I loved the team, thus, I couldn't support the monster trying to take it down.

Arena is so right on talking consistently and not freaken auditioning during important moments. He's so right on! Stability, chemistry, consistency, I have been harping on about this for years! Finally we have Arena again who lives by these things. I am in heaven.

I knew without even checking Bruce Arena was an Earth Sign based on his philosophy about stability, slow but steady, chemistry, building something together with the same group, not flying here or there and everywhere...

Sure enough... of course he was an Earth Sign!!!!!

Virgo is the builder, the slow builder, the creator with a slow, steady, reliable pace, nothing flashy, slow, steady, building with the SAME blocks.




This guy is my best friend.

Honestly, it's why I've been able to relate to him and his philosophy is straight out of an Earth Sign description.

Again, I am in heaven. I also think the Earth Sign approach has always been within this team's DNA... never giving up, togetherness, consistency, loyalty, stability, chemistry... it makes sense a coach with those same traits works beautifully. It makes sense why someone like JK with a political agenda, no consistency, too much fire, wanting to change too much, wanting to make insane decisions just to change things up with stupid passion without one ounce of a solid building block... never worked. Never. Ever.

Michelle thanks for the new thread!

How old is she now?

Good that she is back with the team. Any idea on the seriousness of her injury?

We will see .

Unfortunately they did not start good. They lost to Serbia with 3:1. The same with Belgium and then another lost to Canada with 3:2. As far as I read the coach is trying to play more with youngsters to prepare them for the next Olympic games.

Anderson and Holt are not with the team in the World League. I don't know why. They used to be key players in the last years so I think that your team needs time to get working together as a team. Plus the youngsters need to gather experience. I expect better results next year.

From what I know Anderson and Holt are not definitely out of the team. They are just taking some off time now. I assume they want to recuperate a bit from their busy club seasons and maybe nurse some light injuries.

Definitely not!

Let's hope he can come through and get us qualified for the world cup. It's not a given yet!

Koni, Of course if they made such a positon..Hope would definitely do a good job!

everwoodfan52

This is outrageous!
