Right, we're back at it today, and I, for one, can't wait. But of course we're left with possibly the latest kickoff imaginable (well, not imaginable — imaginable but still practical? That seems to lose some bite. Oh well.), meaning we…
I'm getting back on the horse — or perhaps the wagon — or perhaps something else entirely — and I'm back here with a match preview. That was rather a long break, even with the international matches and all that. Euro 2012, sure, fine, but…
Finally, things are returning to normal. Today's reserves match proves it: There's soccer again — and not just your internationals, but real, genuine, club football. The heavens be praised; it's back! Less important than that — but only…
You know that feeling you get when things have seemed dim and gloomy and it's all lifted away? I think that's what I just experienced after attending training. Not that things were wholly dark — hence my usage of 'dim' — but seeing…

It's here! The Open Cup is here! Thankfully, we're not being subjected to repeated story lines about "David and Goliath" and whatnot (old hat, I say) although we're certainly the bigger side in this thing. Minnesota represents a bit of an…
After basking in the warm glowing warming glow of that late winner, it's hard to look past it in any significant way. It was the sort of exciting finish we have come to almost expect from our side — which, to my mind, is a little dangerous…
