Rosters are out and teams are in camp.  Games will be here before you know it!

First of three "warmup" games for the US is done.  It was nice to see a win but I have serious questions about our back line.  A higher caliber team would have eaten them alive last night.  Also, it was weird seeing a number 10 running around out there and it not be Donovan.

Ha!



On a side note are there really no other soccer fans on GrogHeads that are as excited about the World Cup as Brant and I are??

Ok my fun moment is over.

I'm eagerly awaiting some big match ups like Germany vs Portugal & Spain vs Nederlands.

Great second goal by Altidore tonight he needed that before heading to the WC.


Also, I think I might be convinced to start buying what ever Bradley is selling after his performance tonight.

I can't wait for the WC to start tomorrow!


While we wait here is a cool article with pictures about the evolution of the World Cup soccer ball.

Is it really starting tomorrow?

I'd heard the city is a mess thanks to a transit worker's strike. My company is doing all the power and temp control for the events, so hopefully it starts up without much of a hitch.

Yes it is.  Brazil and Croatia open it up at 3:30 EST
