Soccer and other sporting topics
For some years, this was the index to the season box score and game
reports of The Blazing Spuds, an over-30 men's team in the Southern Idaho
Soccer League. I'm sad to say that the Spuds have gone defunct, and
over-30 has become over-5060 for some of us.
What's left is a small collection of essays on the topic
of soccer (mostly) and other sport.
-
World Cup 2022 (in process)
-
Not just an Open, but The Open.
The 150th (British) Open, 2022.
-
Now that it's 2015, there's another Women's World Cup going on, and I
might have something to say about that. But first,
the exciting conclusion the U.S.
Open... in golf! from the blog.
- The 2011 World Cup
quarterfinal between the USA and Brazil
was one of the most exciting soccer games I've seen.
- World Cup '06
A short wrap-up of the quadrennial spectacle.
- A Kid's Game
Spectating at the sports book lounge at Harrah's in Reno.
- World Cup '99
Observations on the women's 1999 World Cup, and a few suggestions
for ABC Sports on how to cover soccer.
- World Cup '98
My short list of what the (men's) World Cup would have been better
without.
- Play Ball!
Cuba vs. Baltimore (in baseball) and a visit to Pleasant Valley
for a friendly soccer match.
- Prater's Prattle
Mike Prater was (maybe still is, I don't know) a sports columnist for
the local Boise paper, and one of his columns made fun of soccer in that
freely sarcastic style sports columnists get to use. I make fun of
him.
- Chawboys
What do you get when you cross America's pastime with a disgusting
drug habit?
- Soccer refs attacked after game
An article that ran in the Palo Alto Daily News in
March, 2000, about an incident of Menlo Park players and
fans taking things a little too seriously.
