Northridge, CA – The Matadors produced their best 90 minutes of soccer this season on Saturday night to take sole possession of 1st place in the Big West standings early in conference play. They thoroughly dominated the Titans, playing some nice possession soccer for many spells en route to a convincing 3-0 victory. CSUN: 4-1-4-1 [...]
TweetEditor’s note: While this game occurred last week, we still find it worthwhile to publish. If anything to continue demonstrating what form a simple match breakdown/recap could take, what things to look for in a game, give praise or criticism to the coaches and players involved, and well … have a record of what went [...]

Irvine, CA- So the college season kicked off last Friday for most programs across the country and I received a clear reminder of where we stand as a soccer nation with the horrific display between UC Irvine and USD.

The following is our original email sent to the University of North Caroloina, the nations most prestigious women’s program. I’m sharing this now that our girls team (our first and likely last) has aged out. Hello Chris and UNC Staff, I am writing you [...]

I want to congratulate Brooke Elby and Taylor Ramirez and wish them the best in their next soccer chapter. North Carolina head coach, Anson Dorrance, recruited and got verbal commitments from the girls in the first half of 2010 during their U17 season. And last week he got their signatures. What They Can Teach Us [...]

This year has made me a bit more optimistic for the future of the US game. When compared to my sentiments in years past, this one has been by far the best. No our national teams have not shown any progress, MLS and college remain barely watchable, and our youth development is still piss poor. [...]

Went to the UC Davis vs Cal State Northridge game on Saturday. Regardless of these teams not being soccer powers, the trip was worthwhile for two reasons: 1) I got 90 minutes of laughter. 2) I got to see three delightful players with quality on the field. I’ll cover the first here and the second [...]
