For the first time in some time, we've not got a true, competitive match to deal with today, and I must confess, my nerves are thanking me quite heartily. Ah, the excitement of seeing the squad and some football today is there, but I'm not…
There's something interesting about our playing style: Sometimes, it doesn't work. Not entirely, at least. It's not a systemic issue, but a personnel issue — which makes it sound a bit like I'm having a whinge about the players. I'm not.…
We may have a hole or two in our squad for this trip — certainly neither of Nick Rimando and Will Johnson have traveled, one due to injury precaution, and one due to a rush of blood to the head on the weekend — but I'm not in the least bit…
