About Eric Wynalda and U.S. Soccer

The guy rubs lots of folk the wrong way, but it’s about time someone had the cojones to tell it like it is about U.S. Soccer.   The current players are talented but soft.  The USSF uses the “America hates soccer” crap to excuse poor performance and terrible management.  Finally, Wynalda understands that the U.S. should [...]

Girls do it again!

My highschool girls soccer team did it again!  A 4 - 0 win!  They played really well, particularly after a gruelling practice yesterday due to some discipline issues.  They don’t like me very much, but this win should ease the pain….a little.

So, where have I been?

I know some people have been wondering “what the heck happened to Darren?”
Well, I’ve been busy.  Really busy.  Really, really busy.
Just to recap.  I am taking two grad school classes to try and finish my masters in Public Relations sometime this decade.  I also am the boys and girls varsity soccer coach at a high [...]
