Uruguayan goalkeeper Pablo Aurrecochea is a certifiable, bad mother shut-yo-mouth. Last night, Aurrecochea, who plays for Club Guarani of Paraguay, faced off against Argentina’s River Plate in the Copa Sudamericana in this fly Superman goalkeeper jersey. If that doesn’t intimidate the opposition, I don’t know what will. I mean, nothing gets by Superman, right? (more…)
A bit of music for your listening pleasure. We frequently make the case for soft rock/yacht rock. Genres that are cool, sophisticated and wonderfully measured. In other words, genres that are awesome. In the spirit of awesome, there is no way I could keep Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer to myself. The genre is Chap-Hop, which will soon be self-explanatory. It’s one of the greatest (more…)
Amidst the bevy of muppetry that exists on Big Soccer, I sometimes find respite when I don’t feel like over-socializing, yet feel compelled to interact in more than 140 characters about things that most reasonable people would find as interesting as Paris Hilton discussing Sartre.
I’ve tried to make my significant other my soccer conversation partner through sheer force, but now I truly understand the plight of the missionary. No matter how suave one may be, converting the disinterested can border on impossible. But the same applies to stubbornness, which is why missionaries and the disinterested stubborn make such a magical pairing. I digress.

U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati and Bob Bradley met in Los Angeles on Thursday, but no decision was made regarding Bradley’s future as head coach of the U.S. national team, according to a source with knowledge of the discussions.
The source also indicated that the meeting was never intended to produce a decision regarding Bradley’s status, and instead was meant to be a debrief of the U.S. team’s performance at the World Cup, the second such meeting the two have had since the Americans were eliminated by Ghana in the second round.
No timetable has been set for when Bradley’s situation will be resolved.
Perpetual limbo.
Seemingly no one knows anything about the negotiations that are not taking place about the U.S. manager position.
We do know, however, that Bob Bradley is interested in opportunities in Europe. The only reason to reveal this tidbit is because Bradley is, well, interested in opportunities in Europe. (more…)
No one can give an interview or connect with fans like Andrei Arshavin. Periodically, Arshavin plays Bill Simmons and reaches into his mailbag to see what his fans have to say. In the latest installment, the diminutive Russian (that’s apparently what every writer must call Arshavin) answers fan questions, and as usual, you’ll find some gems. Here are a few of my favorites.

Your Saturday Beatdowns of Note: Blackpool severely beaten by Arsenal. Wigan bludgeoned by Chelsea. Toronto FC rolled by the New York Red Bulls. But as you digest these unfortunate beatdowns, please be weary of outlandish claims like: Theo Walcott has arrived. Cheslea are on course to score 8 billion goals. The Red Bulls can win the World Cup. (more…)

William Gallas is a man out to break records. Today he shows up to his third London club for a medical. Joining Tottenham, his former employer’s cross-town rivals, will hardly stir up the same type of vitriol that arose from Sol Campbell’s move in the opposite direction. Arsenal fans won’t hate Gallas because he joined Spurs. (more…)
