Sports to get my mind off stuff

Need to get my mind off the house for a bit.

So I haven't talked sports much in a while so why not.

Super excited by the performance the US men's soccer team at the Confederations Cup. The first two games were not that good but they made up for it with that great run to the final that included a win over the number one team in the world snapping a big unbeaten streak and win streak that Spain had going. Shame they could not hold on to that 2-0 lead against Brazil and take home the trophy but that is the way it goes. It was a great run and something to build on. Now to the Gold Cup and wrap up World Cup qualifying.

I have to admit I have not paid as much attention to my Cardinals I normally do. Totally missed the trade that took place until today. :( Got to snap out of it and keep up. I am such a slacker.

DC United is on top of their conference in MLS. Playing in the US Open Cup tomorrow as they try to defend that title from last year. Set to play Real Madrid in a friendly in August. Things looking good there. :)

Athletica get to host the All-Star game at the end of the season. Good deal. Still have not made it out to a game. I wanted to make sure to get there this season but I don't see it happening at this point. The Sol seem to be running away with the league. I honestly thought that the Athletica would have a better record than they do. They have some talent there. Guess we shall see how the rest of the season and playoffs go.

The St. Louis Lions made it to the US Open Cup before losing in the first round. To be expected for a PDL team though. Glad the made it to the tournament.

Blackburn managed to stay in the top league. Hopefully the rebound for a not so great season and get back towards the top of the league and back into European competition.

Looking forward to some Ole Miss Rebel football this fall. I love college football. :)

Okay enough ramblings for now. Later gators.
