USA Woman Steal Gold from Brazil

The USA women held off Marta and a dangerous Brazil team, winning 1-0 with a goal in 1st half overtime by Carli Lloyd. (Those are her Mercurial Vapor IV's in Red White and Blue) We really don't look very good without Wambach up top controling and holding the ball up. I also like to match speed with speed so I thought not putting Tasha Kai in sooner or starting was a mistake but it all worked out this time. Look for Brazil to overtake the US in the next few years as they develope the intangibles. Hope Solo played great for the US showing everyone that she's the best female keeper by far.

I really don't like too many women sports but if Marta comes to play in the WMLS I will watch.

EPL Season has started

The English Premier League has started which means I'll be watching a lot more soccer than I should. It was an exciting first week and now with World Cup Qualifying starting for the US and the MLS season nearing playoffs it's a great time to be a soccer fan.

Also the Seattle Sounders FC have named Kasey Keller the new keeper for the team. He'll be a great anchor in the back and should get a lot of work unless they decide to build from the back like San Jose.

Raxer X 6 - Team of Youth and the Ref 0

I can't really claim my 3 goals as a true hat trick due to the fact that the other team was made up of 14 year olds but it was still 11 v 11. Deportiva Tinga has been kicked out of the league which means we might get a shot at the finals. Zac had 2 goals and Dave added another. Chase and Romeo came to play as well.
