In bizarre news about Jesse Marsch becoming head coach in Canada: MLS Canada Men's National Team Head Coach?!?!?!?! Doesn't really fit on his business card or "roll off of the tongue." I guess the Canadian FA is flat broke if they had to take a top up from the owners of the three Canadian MLS teams in order to hire a head coach. Still, big congratulations to Jesse Marsch. May he serve well in Canada until the US finally wise up and dump Berhalter's ass. Jesse Marsch will be officially known as the “MLS Canada Men’s National Team Head Coach” due to philanthropic contributions from the three Canadian MLS teams. #CANMNT pic.twitter.com/2xYgN0iwSM— Rudi Schuller (@RudiSchuller) May 13, 2024

ran into Fabi leaving the Grant Park pickleball courts with Richard Sanchez the other day looks like Sanchez's wife had a FO job with the Fire and now runs some youth programs in the city
yeah, came across this when looking up what Richard was up to -- I think the "works for Chicago Fire FC" part is outdated though to be honest, I was only like 75% sure it was him, so had to look up to see what had him tied to Chicago now since neither he nor his wife have played for a Chicago team in a while
Christina may still be involved with community stuff for the Fire. She's not listed on the Fire website.
Well, not being listed on the website could mean she plans to start in central defense for the Fire's next match, since that probably would not be mentioned in the website, either.
is pauno like a super fun hang or something?? how does he keep doing this? Veljko Paunović is the new head coach of Tigres 🐯✅#cf97 #vamosfire https://t.co/Xs2cGM9QS6— Alex Calabrese (@amcalabrese12) June 9, 2024
What do you mean, "how does he keep doing this?" He WON the U-20 World Cup or something in 2015. Clearly, that must mean is an excellent coach for the REST OF HIS CAREER. Stupids are going to stupid.
From the BBC Rumors: Chelsea have rekindled their interest in Aston Villa and Colombia striker Jhon Duran, 20. (Telegraph - subscription required) https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c9885vvxjq3o Sure, if Duran does not have any ambition and doesn't want to play in Champions League by lowering his standards to go to lowly Chelsea.
From Soccer America today, a memory: Two years later, when Uruguay hosted the Copa America, the USA made history with a 2-1 opening win over Chile — its first victory ever against a South American team on South American soil since the 3-0 win over Paraguay at the 1930 World Cup in Uruguay. After a 1-0 loss to Bolivia, on a Marco Etcheverry goal, the USA upset Argentina, 3-1, and went on to a fourth-place finish. Eric Wynalda scored both goals against Chile. Frank Klopas, Alexi Lalas and Wynalda scored against Argentina. Kasey Keller, Paul Caligiuri and John Harkes made the Soccer America All-Copa America ’95 team, with the likes of Enzo Francescoli, Dunga and Roberto Carlos. Gregg Berhalter was a 21-year-old unused sub. The performance earned interim head coach Steve Sampson the full-time job.
Kei Kamara passes Landon Donovan’s MLS goals mark as LAFC routs San José https://www.latimes.com/sports/soccer/lafc/story/2024-06-22/kei-kamara-mls-goals-mark-lafc-san-jose Kei Kamara passes Landon Donovan for 2nd-most MLS goals during LAFC’s victory Earthquakes https://www.dailynews.com/2024/06/2...t-mls-goals-during-lafcs-victory-earthquakes/ Good for Kei. How is that prediction going? He needed to score 28 goals this season. He now has 2 so far (both scored this past week). He just needs 26 more goals, in the next 15 matches, with Giroud coming in after the Euros. Oh, but it should be easy, Giroud is not a "90min guy"! Kei has played 391 minutes in 13 matches.
