Once again, it's Friday, and time again for Here's What I Think About That....
Gerrard to LA: HWITAT--LA is struggling right now. Struggling 'Big Time'. Can Steven Gerrard help out? Well, I think he can. I think he will fill-in nicely at the MF spot and give better service and opportunity to Keane for creating more scoring chances. Will Gerrard be the dynamic MF player that Landon Donovan was? I don't think so. But in the long run, I believe that Gerrard will help LA significantly.
Champions League Final: HWITAT--This will be a great Final. Juve v Barca. Should be very entertaining. Barca's attacking abilities and Juve's stout defense. I look forward to it. I predict that Juve wins. What do YOU predict?
Special Shout-Out to Jon Busch: HWITAT--Buschy is scheduled to start his 300th MLS match tonight. JB is playing for Chicago Fire and the Fire visits Columbus Crew. Busch began is MLS career at Columbus, so it's a 'homecomng' of sorts for this veteran GK. I had the fortune to coach Buschy in college, and he is a true testament to hard work, persistence, passion, and smarts. As I often have called him.....'The Consummate Professional'. Congratulations to you Buschy! Good Luck tonight.
The US Open Cup is in full swing: HWITAT--This year's tournament is going well, and there is fairly good coverage of it.
Twitter is doing a great job of updating each and every game and each round of the USOC. If you get a chance, follow USOC on Twitter. It's entertaining and is being far better organized and promoted this year.
New Reusch Product 2016: HWITAT--Check out our Reusch Facebook page for updates on new products for 2016. As always, our designers have come up with leading edge technology and products. Cool stuff! As usual.
Try-Outs: HWITAT--Across the nation, Club try-outs are beginning to crank up. Parents.......sit back, chill, and enjoy the fact that your child is playing soccer. He/She is most likely NOT going to be a professional player. (No matter how good YOU think he/she is). He/She may have a small chance at a college scholarship. (No matter how good YOU think he/she is). Enjoy the chance to watch you child play and develop, and spend your time and energy supporting your child, NOT questioning every move your child's coach makes. As Aaron Rogers says, "5 little letters....R-E-L-A-X".
May the ground beneath your dive be soft. May the opponent hit every shoot right at you. May your goalposts be 3 feet wide.
All the Best--EV
