Apologies for the light blogging as of late (I’m writing this as if anyone is actually reads the site). I haven’t felt motivated to write much, for three reasons:
1) I don’t think the recent MNT friendlies are all that significant. Sure, for individuals, it was very important. I think guys like Twellman,Dempsey, Dunivant, Conrad, Pope, etc, have shown that they are going to make it tough for Bruce to fill out his list for Germany. Beating the snot out of Guatemala 4-0 feels nice, but it won’t mean diddly come June.
2) As for all the other silly stories out there in USA soccer land, i.e. Houston 1836 changing their name because Texas was basically ’stolen’ from Mexico (170 years ago mind you), and accusations that DC United coach Peter Nowak made some sort of racial remark in a match against Real Salt Lake, I have refrained from commenting as I fear any post would become a rant about race in America, etc etc, which is neither appropriate given the focus of PCK, nor would I want my opinions attributed to my fellow contributors, Bobby and David.
3)I have been much distracted by my other sport, hockey. Of the Olympic sort.
I’m working on some cool ideas for the site, but they will probably involve PHP and MySQL, which I do not know right now. I am also trying to get my PhD at the current time, so learning PHP and MySQL isn’t at the top of my todo list. Soon, though, soon. You’ll like them. Prizes may be involved.
