Reflexiones Sobre EEUU VS Inglaterra En El Grupo C Copa Mundial FIFA 2010

El equipo del futbol estadounidense tendrá su primer partido contra Inglaterra en la Copa Mundial FIFA 2010. Inglaterra y los Estados Unidos pertenecen al Grupo C junto con Argelia y Eslovenia.

La rivalidad entre Inglaterra y Estados Unidos se remontan en el año 1950 durante la Copa Mundial FIFA en Belo Horizonte, Brasil. En aquel entonces, los Estados Unidos gano a los británicos 1 a 0.

Inglaterra ha tenido mucha experiencia en el deporte incluyendo siendo la cuna del deporte. Inglaterra fue el anfitrión de la Copa Mundial FIFA de 1966 y es tierra de los equipos como Manchester United, Chelsea, y Arsenal.

Inglaterra ha dado al mundo jugadores del mundial como David Beckham y la popularidad del equipo es universal. El equipo ingles tuvo sus problemas con el estado físico de algunos de los jugadores como Rio Ferdinand, Steve Gerrard, and John Terry.

Steve Gerrard lanzo una advertencia acerca de los jugadores ingleses y la última oportunidad de su generación para ganar la Copa. Hay un grupo en el equipo cuya edad es más de 30 años.

Sir Alex Ferguson quien es el técnico del equipo Manchester United habla de las posibilidades de los EEUU llegando hacia los finales. Los EEUU logro avanzar después de su fracaso en la Copa Mundial FIFA 2006.

El equipo estadounidense logro el segundo lugar en la Copa Confederación FIFA 2009 [en Sudáfrica] detrás de Brasil cuando derrocaron a los equipos de Egipto y España. El equipo logro clasificarse en la Copa Mundial FIFA 2010 después de llegar al primer lugar en la Clasificación CONCACAF 2009.

El equipo tenía buena y mala suerte en sus partidos de ensayos. Incluso, EEUU tendrá su partido contra la República Checa el 25 de Mayo 2010 y Turquía. Esperamos una victoria en ambos partidos.

Ricardo Clark y Jozy Altidore hablan de una nueva época de oro para el futbol estadounidense durante la Copa Mundial FIFA 2010. Jozy Altidore emitió una declaración a David Beckham pronosticando una victoria contra Inglaterra de tres a cero.

Ricardo Clark en una entrevista con la revista electrónica de la FIFA hablo de cómo fue fácil la selección del Grupo C con los EEUU enfrentando a Inglaterra, Argelia, y Eslovenia.

Estamos en la espera de lo que puede suceder pero utilizare las palabras de la actriz y cantante mexicana Thalía cuando decía “Si Se Puede”. Aplicare el “Si Se Puede” al equipo del futbol estadounidense en su participación en la Copa Mundial FIFA 2010.

2010 FIFA World Cup Preview Of Group C Contenders USA VS England

The United States of America and England will be facing each other in the first game of Group C of the 2010 FIFA World Cup to be held in South Africa. The date of the encounter will be on the twelfth of June 2010.

The initial encounter between the USA and England is going to be more important than the encounters with other Group C members such as Algeria and Slovenia. The reason is the rivalry between the two teams.

The last time there was an encounter between the two teams occurred during the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The result was an upset by the United States of America against England.

England has the advantage of many years of experience in the FIFA World Cup and was even the host of the 1966 FIFA World Cup. England is also a disciplined team which was trained by the coach Fabio Capello. Fabio Capello is also under tremendous pressure in order to produce results such as a victory in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The reports about the poor form and injuries of players such as Steve Gerrard, Rio Ferdinand, and John Terry have been in the mind of Fabio Capello. The declarations by Steve Gerrard have not helped the situation for England.

Steve Gerrard of the English National Football/Soccer Team has urged fellow players to give their best since most of the team members are past the age of 30. The magic number [according to Mr. Gerrard] means that it may be the last chance for the majority of the players such as Frank Lampard or Rio Ferdinand to win a World Cup.

The US Soccer Team may have been enjoying a revival since the 1990’s but they cannot be underestimated. Sir Alex Ferguson [who is the the boss of the English League Team Manchester United] has predicted that the US Soccer Team may advance to the second round.

The US Soccer Team has advanced in the 2009 FIFA Confederation Cup in South Africa. It defeated Spain and Egypt to advance to second place. The team won first place in the CONCACAF Qualifiers to advance to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Ricardo Clark and Jozy Altidore of the US Soccer Team have declared in their interview with the FIFA Website that the team is ready. Ricardo Clark stated that the USA has been handed an easy team but such teams do not exist.

Jozy Altidore has gone a step further by telling David Beckham of England that the US Soccer Team will defeat England in the opening game three to zero. While the underwriter is tempted to think that it is posturing, there is a grain of truth to the prediction taking into account a team that is organized, disciplined, and consistent in its play.

Bornstein, from Los Alamitos, and Kljestan, from Huntington Beach, will arrive for the start of the training camp after Chivas USA’s match at Columbus this Saturday.

Sacha Kljestan has made 23 appearances and scored four goals for the U.S., most recently the game-winner on February 24 against El Salvador. The pair joined Chivas USA in 2006, and since the start of that season, Kljestan has made 112 regular season appearances for the team (a club record), and Bornstein has played in 110 matches. They were named co-captains by Head Coach Martín Vásquez prior to the 2010 MLS season.

 

Audio files featuring quotes from Jonathan Bornstein and Sacha Kljestan can be found on Dentro del Rebaño, the official blog of Chivas USA.

 

Also included on the preliminary roster is former Chivas USA goalkeeper Brad Guzan, who played with the Red-and-White from 2005-2008 before moving to Aston Villa of the English Premier League. The head coach of the United States is Bob Bradley, who served as Chivas USA’s head coach in 2006 before joining the National Team. Another former Chivas USA player, Jesse Marsch, is an assistant coach with the United States. Marsch made 106 appearances for the Red-and-White from 2006-2009.

 

Training camp for the United States will take place at Princeton University in Princeton, N.J., and the team will play a pair of friendly matches prior to the June 1 deadline for the final, 23-player roster. On May 25 in East Hartford, Conn., the United States will face the Czech Republic, and on May 29 the squad will play against Turkey in Philadelphia. The U.S. team will depart for South Africa on May 30, arriving the following day, and will then play Australia on June 5 in Roodepoort, South Africa, one week before playing its first match of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

 

The U.S. Men’s National Team has been drawn into Group C with England, Slovenia and Algeria for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Carpentersville, IL – May 10, 2010 

14^th District Libertarian Congressional Candidate Doug Marks is appearing for an open forum with constituents of the 14^th District.
“It has been a very longtime since we had a voice in Congress. Our current representative, Bill Foster, refuses to speak to the public where I welcome your views and desires so I want to bring open forums back to the people of this district. I have lived here for over 40 years and want the voice of the people to be heard in Washington,” Mr. Marks asserts.  He opposes a closed government that handles business behind closed doors and in secret meetings. “I am also very supportive of an effort called ‘Bring the Representatives Home’ where most of the Washington work is done through teleconferences. This program will allow me to stay here and be available to the people of this district,” Mr. Marks claims.

Doug Marks is also committed to a smaller government, a constitutional government, more personal freedoms and an end to all wars.

“Business as usual is putting party policy before the people has to end this election,” Mr. Marks declared.  “The voters of the 14th district deserve a representative voice in Congress. I am a Real Choice for a Real Voice in Washington!”

Doug Marks is committed to smaller government, personal freedom, property rights, ending corporate welfare, and bringing our troops home.  For more information please visit http://DougMarks4Congress.webs.com.

Mexico Apoya Candidatura De EEUU Para Anfitrion De La Copa Mundial FIFA 2018 o 2022

Felicito a la Federación Mexicana de Futbol y su Presidente Justino Copean por la decisión acertada de apoyar la candidatura de los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica para convertirse en anfitrión para la Copa Mundial 2018 o 2022.

Los EEUU cuentan con la presencia de latinos incluyendo mexicanos, cubanos, y otros grupos de América Latina cuya máxima expresión es el amor por el futbol. Hay que recordar que CD Chivas USA es equipo hermano con Chivas de Guadalajara.

El Club Tigres de UANL tiene un convenio con FC Dallas [otro ejemplo del intercambio entre la MLS y FMF] donde son hermanos. Es inevitable debido a la frontera estrecha entre ambos países que los deportes y el pueblo se unen para una causa noble como los deportes mientras los políticos siguen creando divisiones.

Mexico Supports USA Bid To Host 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup

Mexico has just stunned the sports world [including football/ soccer] by announcing that it will support the bid by the USA to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup. The announcement came after the goalless draw between the Mexican National Football/Soccer Team [also known as El Tri] and Ecuador.

Justino Copean who is the President of the Mexican Football Federation [known by its initials FMF] made the announcement saying that the “USA has the infrastructure, and the will to organize the World Cup”.

Mr. Copean stated that “Mexico had other priorities before hosting a World Cup” and that the “USA was a difficult team to defeat”. Mexico hosted the 1970 and 1986 World Cup while the USA hosted the 1994 World Cup.

The underwriter would like to congratulate Mr. Copean and the Mexican Football/Soccer Federation in supporting the bid of the USA to host the 2018 or the 2022 World Cup. It appears that following the withdrawal of other countries and the support of Mexico will help the USA.

Regardless, there is a long way to go before the USA is awarded the right to host the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.

Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee Suspends and Fines Chivas USA Midfielder Michael Lahoud and D.C. United Head Coach Curt Onalfo

Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee Suspends and Fines

Chivas USA Midfielder Michael Lahoud and D.C. United Head Coach Curt Onalfo

 

NEW YORK (May 4, 2010) – The Major League Soccer Disciplinary Committee today fined Chivas USA midfielder Michael Lahoud $500 and suspended him two games for a reckless tackle on Justin Mapp during Chivas USA’s game versus the Chicago Fire on Saturday, May 1. 

 

When Lahoud tackled Mapp in the 13th minute, the referee called a foul, but did not issue a card.  After reviewing the play, the MLS Disciplinary Committee unanimously determined that Lahoud’s actions were egregious and reckless and endangered the safety of his opponent. Mapp left the game after the tackle. As a result, the Committee suspended Lahoud for the next two MLS Regular Season games and fined him $500.

 

Lahoud will serve the two-game suspension during Chivas USA’s matches against New England on Wednesday, May 5 and against Houston on Saturday, May 8.

 

Also today, the MLS Disciplinary Committee fined D.C. United head coach Curt Onalfo  $1,000 and increased his suspension to two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup games for his actions during United’s Open Cup play-in game against FC Dallas on April 28.

 

In the 32nd minute, the referee dismissed Onalfo for leaving his technical area and for improper behavior.   After reviewing the incident, the MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended Onalfo for one additional game (coaches dismissed are automatically suspended for one game), and fined him $1,000 for his actions. 

 

Play-in games are subject to League discipline because they are not considered part of the tournament proper. The two-game suspension applies to the next two U.S. Open Cup matches that Onalfo’s team plays, beginning with the June 2 game against Real Salt Lake.

 

Fines collected are donated to MLS W.O.R.K.S., Major League Soccer’s community outreach initiative dedicated to addressing important social issues affecting young people and serves as a platform for both League and club philanthropic programs.  MLS W.O.R.K.S. seeks to establish Major League Soccer as a leader for improving the lives of people through sport.

Copa Mundial FIFA 2010: Estados Unidos De Norteamerica

Estamos acercando a la apertura de la Copa Mundial FIFA 2010 con los países clasificados preparando para el encuentro en Sudáfrica. El equipo estadounidense de futbol no es la excepción.

Los Estados Unidos están clasificados dentro de Grupo C junto con Inglaterra, Argelia, y Eslovenia. Me atrevo pronosticar que los EEUU quizás serán triunfales en los partidos contra Eslovenia y Argelia.

La preocupación del autor de este artículo es Inglaterra. El primer partido en el Grupo C será entre Inglaterra y los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. El primer partido será el factor en como veremos el desarrollo del equipo estadounidense de futbol en este evento histórico.

Inglaterra es un equipo con siglos de experiencia. Incluso, el futbol fue creado por los ingleses.

Inglaterra ha ganado títulos en la UEFA, Euro Copa, y la Copa Mundial. El país es famoso por los equipos como Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, y Arsenal.

La patria de Big Ben engendro jugadores como David Beckham, Frank Lampard, y Rio Ferdinand. No podemos olvidar de grandes técnicos como Sir Alex Ferguson.

Los EEUU es un gigante en el futbol que logro un despertar después de 4 décadas cuando el país derroco a Inglaterra en la Copa Mundial FIFA 1950 en Belo Horizonte, Brasil.

El equipo estadounidense de futbol logro mucho en casi dos décadas. La liga MLS [Major League Soccer] y otras ligas se han establecido. Hay equipos en los EEUU [y jugadores] que son famosos en el mundo.

Los ejemplos de los jugadores famosos son Carlos Bocanegra, Landon Donovan, Demarcus Beasley, y Jozy Altidore. Hay personas en otros países que son hinchas del equipo estadounidense de futbol.

En el 2009, los EEUU sorprendió el mundo en la Copa Confederación FIFA en Sudáfrica cuando fueron descartados desde un principio. El resultado fue una victoria estadounidense en sus partidos contra Egipto y España.

El equipo estadounidense de futbol quedo en segundo lugar después de Brasil en la Copa Confederación FIFA 2009. Después, hubo los partidos de la CONCACAF para clasificarse en la Copa Mundial 2010.

Los EEUU sorprendieron a los demás con lograr clasificarse siendo descartado. Los EEUU quedo en primer lugar en la clasificación CONCACAF. El único defecto ha sido las derrotas en los partidos de práctica. Veremos lo que sucede.

No sabemos si los EEUU será ganador en los partidos de la Copa Mundial FIFA 2010 pero estamos seguros que el equipo ha llegado a retumbar en todos los lugares.

 

2010 World Cup: US Soccer Team

The United States Soccer Team was once the laughing stock of FIFA and soccer fans around the world. The countries of the world used to take pride in defeating it as a form of compensation of not being able to defeat America by military and economic might. The countries that laughed at the United States did not separate sports from politics.

It has a long tradition dating back to the 19th Century even though the team has experienced popularity within the last 20 years. The USA defeated England in the 1950 World Cup which was held in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The USA has hosted the 1994 World Cup and its team has appeared in every World Cup since 1990. While it has not advanced to the semi finals, it has done an impressive job within the last two decades.

The team itself has given rise to clubs and associations within the USA including the MLS [Major League Soccer]. The year 2009 was the year in which the sleeping giant of the American Continent awoke from its sleep. In the 2009 Confederation Cup, it defeated Spain and Egypt and almost came close to defeating Brazil. While Brazil won the 2009 Confederation Cup, the USA won second place.

The 2009 CONCACAF Classifications was another game in which the USA surprised many people and won first place followed by Honduras and Mexico although not in that order. The Soccer world knows about Landon Donovan, Carlos Bocanegra, and Jozy Altidore since they have played abroad and in the USA.

The only problem that the USA has was its loss in the preliminary games before the 2010 World Cup. It is hoped that they could get their act together to defeat the Czech Republic and Turkey in their home field. The fans of the team are keeping their fingers crossed and praying.

The US Soccer Team is in Group C along with England, Algeria

and Slovenia. The USA can defeat Slovenia and Algeria if it is able to sort out its problems of recovering from its defeats in the preliminary games. The biggest fear is the first game between the USA and England which has been the most publicized since the 1950 World Cup.

Jozy Altidore has stated that he has faith that the USA can defeat England in their opening game. While many are writing off the US Soccer Team, it is hoped that they could win so that the USA can mature into a soccer country with the possibility of hosting the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.
