Man, if we could just get a coach and a system that compares some what to Europe (yea, we will never have the club team system they do) and we can get kids to realize that you don't have to play in the NFL to make millions, and if you are not athletic enough to play in the NFL, but still damn athletic, if you work at soccer you can make millions there, then maybe we will be a power at soccer.

It is sad, while soccer is the biggest sport in the world, it is probably #5 or #6 in the USA.

So USD/JPY just broke the intervention lows. It's 4 pm in NY, and some moron is buying.......if you have missed the move like I have - YOU HAVE MISSED THE MOVE, PERIOD.

I haven't even considered trading this thing yet. It will be interesting to see what happens if the morons in DC don't get it together this weekend, this pair could fall hard. Wonder if the BoJ steps in at that point? They are talking, so I wouldn't rule it out......

Wow! Klinsmann eh, that guy knows how to score goals. He's probably one of the best forwards there have been and certainly one of the very best of his time. He wasn't a pretty boy like Ronaldo or your beloved Dutch players like Gullit, Riijkard or Van Basten and his goals were often not very pretty either, but he won games. Very German in other words - ugly, square but ruthlessly efficient. (Apologies to any German reading this, no offense intended.)

I think the US national team could do A LOT worse...

My highly amateurish guess is that even the half stupid BOJ wouldn't try to get in front of the USDJPY freight train heading south if all hell breaks lose with the debt ceiling.

If I were them anyway, I'd keep my powder dry and wait for the best time to get max bang for my buck... sorry, yen.

Let us not forget that he took a very young German team to 3rd place at the 2006 WC. He has already proven that he can coach as well......add into that the fact that he lives in California, and this is a fit we should have had years ago.

It is......but it is still a ways from becoming the big game it is over there. Having said that, I live a few miles from the first soccer-specific stadium in the US. (One of any size that is) It holds about 35,000 which is small, but it's a start. Contrast that with where the Ohio State University football team plays that holds 107,000 just a few miles from there.......

It is growing over here, that is for sure. The problem is, almost all the athletes we would have that would have good genetics for soccer often end up playing American football. I love American football, it is like the king of sports. But it is so brutal and so expensive, I don't think it will ever catch on world wide.

It is growing in popularity because we start kids at 2 and 3 years old in soccer. But by the time kids get into high school, there is a lot less opportunity and a lot less "status" of being a soccer player v. an American football player. So we have tons of guys, who if they focused on soccer could have been out best national player, that end up playing football and never play a down of professional football. Almost like wasted athletes.

As much as I love American football, it really kills us in international sports. Our best power lifters are our O and D Linemen. Our best soccer stars are our WR/CB/RB. And our other football players would be great at other off the wall sports. I am about 6'3" 200 lbs, and I am tiny compared to most of the "small" football players, who are also blazing fast and change direction on a dime. Yet no one in the world really gets to see how athletic they are.

Oh yea, I can understand that. There was no option to play any organized soccer at all in the small town I grew up in after the age of 12. There still isn't to this day.

I was 16 years old when the world cup came to the USA in 1994, and this was summer of the MLB strike. So not only was the World Cup in the USA, but it was the same summer there was no baseball.

And no one I knew of even watched a second of it, or really even knew what it was. Today, more know and more care, but it still severly lags the big 3 (probably big 4 by including hockey).

I was 23 that summer. I followed Holland around the country, and had a fucking blast. I was going from one city to another, and saw them play several times. (I also saw Belgium/Germany, USA/Switzerland, and Italy/Ireland) I remember calling back to my roommate at the time and telling him to take some of my stuff to the pawn shop and wire me more money every time I ran out. (I was originally slated to go to just two games.) I ended up selling everything I owned with the exception of my clothing and the P.O.S. '85 Toyota truck I was driving at the time......which had a hole in the radiator. I estimate that I dropped about $8,000-$10,000 that month.....no easy feat when you are broke to begin with.

I would do it all over again, without hesitation.

"I also like to "pick my spots". Subs will sometimes follow a ship for miles waiting for that "perfect shot"."

this is a great point, but you also make a good point about getting out of a trade. A CO will spend much more time planing his escape once the trigger is pulled, than he will on when to pull it!


keep up the good work.

As long as you pay attention to the escape route......that is the biggest thing most traders don't pay attention to, which ironically is the biggest determining factor of profitability in my opinion.
