    And after all……….. You’re our Bryan Gaul…….

    Props to the Doody crew for the excellent chant by the way. Bryan Gaul: he’s been a bit of an enigma since he signed for the club. Some have nicknamed him “Hollywood”, and that he hasn’t lived up to the hype as being a marquee signing since his move from the Los Angeles Galaxy. I don’t…

  • Wearing Thin.

    Wearing Thin.

    Just as pro second amendment advocates argue that the time to discuss gun control isn’t right after a mass shooting, I suspect that writing an article to vent my spleen after home thrashing isn’t the best idea. My general feelings of frustration and annoyance will flow through to the extent that any coherent points I…

    Let’s all have a party

    How much fun was that? I know we all have that 1% of fans who are tools. Goodness knows I’ve had my moments. But a massive thanks to the Cauldron for inviting us to party with them before the game. It can’t be easy to be swamped with fans already to having another two buses…

  • Season Review

    Season Review

    Well, we’re ten games in. What’s the verdict? How’s things on the field? We know off the field things really couldn’t be better from our standpoint. Coming to games is excellent experience for veteran and new fans alike. A recent survey on the clubs website asked what people’s favorite aspect of the game was and…

  • Taka and Mark Pais talk Open Cup and playing their old teams.

    Taka and Mark Pais talk Open Cup and playing their old teams.

    “To me Open cup is kind show case for all the players especially lower division players. It’s a great opportunity to prove yourself to show your capability. And lots of lower teams defeat higher teams that’s beauty of football too. For our organization [STLFC] it’s great opportunity to display who we are to all the…

  • Akron Ohio 2011

    Akron Ohio 2011

    They were a great team. National Champions. Led by Caleb Porter (Portland Timbers) he coached a who’s who of the future of American soccer. He was so well thought of he was about to try to get the US team to qualify for the olympics in Nashville. On that 2011 Akron team, defending NCAA champions…

  • Bye Week

    Bye Week

    No seriously. Bye…. Begone. This is like an international break, just much much worse. I like the international breaks, when the USMNT played overseas it gave us a chance to go watch Dempsey, Howard, Holden, Bradley et al. A chance to see our players on home soil. Even now, an international break offers something, you…

    Keep The Faith

    Goals will come. Wins will come As a Manchester United fan I write this knowing full well that it is easy to be a fan of a team that wins more than its’ fair share. Most of you reading this will support a variance of Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern, Barca, Real and <insert European powerhouse team>…

  • How was your week?

    How was your week?

    Ours was pretty great no? I’d say it was probably the best week for soccer in St. Louis in at least a decade, probably longer. Since the heyday of the Steamers and Ambush. The first 2 Saint Louis games and a US national team game in our own back yard. Not too shabby I’d say.…
