Jozy is no Pussycat

I became a fan of Jozy Atliedore during the 2007 U-20 World Cup. I had just ruptured my Achilles and was laid up for the summer inside on crutches. I love the US National team so I watched all of the games they played and became fans of Jozy and Micheal Bradley. It is great to see two young stars from the u-20 program play a huge role in the success at the Confederations Cup. For a 19 year old Jozy seems to have his head screwed on tight and has a humble air about it.

Holy Cow What a Finish

As a coach and soccer blog I preach about the first five and the last five minutes of the half. They are the most critical of every game. Amazing at the international level goals are given up like hotcakes in the final minutes of the game. Shame on the South African fans for leaving early and not believing. What a finish to regulation. If this is a preview to the final the USA better fasten its seat belt because we might see Brazil give up three goals like they did against Egypt.

USA USA USA

This is a huge win for US Soccer. Beating the worlds best team with its best players on the field should give soccer fans hope. An outstanding win for Uncle Sam's Army that will send a ripple through the soccer world. The Soccer Network has been doubting Bob Bradley lately but the last two victories have put the complaining on hold.
