Women's US National Team News...

For those who want to discuss the Women's World Cup and what happened I urge you to read ESPN Andrea Canales' article on Hope Solo and Coach Greg Ryan. I agree with her view entirely. Take a look.

National Team Roster Analysis

Take a look at ESPN's Jeff Carlisle's analysis on the National Teams roster for the Gold Cup. It's an interesting read.

Carlos Ruiz on the move?

According to Allen Hopkins of ESPN, there are growing rumblings that the Columbus Crew could make a move to pry Carlos Ruiz away from FC Dallas. Ruiz has been substituted in two of the past three matches by first-year head coach Steve Morrow and that hasn't sat well with the FCD captain.

Ruiz and Sigi Schmid were a very successful pairing in 2002 leading the Galaxy to their first MLS Cup after three previous championship-game losses. And to say Schmid has a place in his heart for Ruiz is an understatement. The Crew are quietly unbeaten and seem to be only a proven goal scorer away from making noise in the East.
