Kings’ Cup MMXIX
It is difficult to sit down and write this; we’re five years removed from both our teams entering USL. The landscape has changed since 2015 for the better. What was originally quite a fierce rivalry has turned into something warm and fuzzy. That said, we’ve never won the Kings’ Cup, and frankly, we’re due and…

15 minutes with…… Lewis Hilton
I grab a coffee, Lewis grabs a coffee. We sit down and start to chat. It swiftly turns from an interview into two guys talking about the old country. Even though he is from Cornwall, from the beautiful town of Newquay (and believe me, it is beautiful), it is a place where people go on…

Today Matters
Today is the day. It’s been a long time coming; it’s been quite the long off-season. Longer for us than todays opponents unfortunately. However, today is the day when it gets real again. Today matters. Whilst I think we would all agree, Coopers and Louligans alike, that the Kings Cup is on hiatus for a…

Pre Pre-Season
Hiya! Been awhile since I penned anything here. I mean, the whole job, twins, life thing gets in the way, but as I sit here convalescing from surgery I figure I would open the laptop and have a type and see what spills forth. Off season has been long, laborious, and generally boring. Players have…

15 minutes with….. Ant Pulis
Because I am a bit ring rusty here, I forgot to bring along my camera to meet with new Saint Louis FC head coach Ant Pulis. So I’ve had to nab a picture off the internet, which is a shame as it still shows him wearing the Orlando City garb. It’s a different Ant Pulis…

US Mens National Team
I’ve rambled like fuck on Twitter since the apocalypse happened. It’s been all over the place, hot takes here and there – nonsensical musings in the heat of the moment that I later regret. We’re all angry obviously. I’ve been to 3 World Cup qualifiers in this cycle and enjoyed them immensely. I recall going…

15 minutes with……. Mark Regester
At the beginning of the season I conducted a few interviews with some of our new players in an attempt to get to know them better. It kind of came to a close as I got an actual job that I had to go to in order to pay bills, and the team results took…

15 Minutes with….. Christian Volesky
I try to start these pieces by getting away from soccer, trying to peek underneath the inner workings of the players, what is their life away from Soccer Park, away from Preki and the stress of pushing your body in training every day. Christian wants no part of that. “I love to talk about soccer, love…

Three games in…..
Zero losses, and frankly it feels pretty good no? We’ve a tough week coming up though, so it is difficult to get too carried away. Pittsburgh and Cincinatti will be a proper test in the coming days, however one must think that we can go into these games with some hope (that kills you) that…
