US vs Mexico Ticket Sales

US Soccer logoA special, one-day ticket presale for Visa® cardholders for the United States against Mexico FIFA World Cup qualifier in Columbus, Ohio, begins today (Tuesday, Jan. 27) at 12 p.m. ET online at ussoccer.com. The presale ends on Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 8 a.m. ET before tickets go on sale to the general public at 12 p.m. ET later on Wednesday.

The game marks the third-consecutive time that Columbus Crew Stadium hosts the final round home leg between the United States and Mexico. The match in Columbus is the first of five home qualifiers for the United States this year. Tickets range in price levels from $48 to $250. During the Visa presale, tickets will be limited to four per purchase.

The normal suspects aren’t attending this year, flight costs out of SGF are non-trivial when combined with the ticket costs. If there is someone in the region planning on attending, I’d love to have you provide some photos and a story about the game for the readers. Contact me!

My Country For A Left Back

US Soccer logoA nice pointer from Glendale Soccer, this story from the New York Times

More than a decade has passed, coaches have changed and plenty of rocks have been turned over. But as the United States begins to focus on the 2010 World Cup, it still has not solved a nearly 15-year-old riddle: Why can’t anyone play left back?

“It’s an interesting question,” United States Coach Bob Bradley said. “And a very good one.”

It’s a question that wasn’t answered on Saturday either, as the US made the game against Sweden much too interesting. Who knows what might have happened if the Swedes hadn’t come out in the defensive posture they did. By the way, we had two dozen folks at Coester’s cheering on the US, plenty of fun!

KY3 Adds Soccer

Or more specifically, they are adding a soccer player to their staff. KY3 doesn’t get much love from this site for their lack of attention to the beautiful game – I blame Ned Reynolds. It’s that much more painful to note that two of their anchors are former players and are now expecting a baby, thus the addition.

SPRINGFIELD — Many of you know KY3’s Sara Sheffield and Ethan Forhetz married each other in April 2007.. Now they’re announcing an addition to the family. The “bundle of joy” will be their first child.

“We’re really excited! It’s a true blessing” said Sara, with a big smile on her face. “We’re looking forward to a little soccer player running around,” said Ethan (he and Sara both were longtime soccer players).

Ethan grew up in Collinsville, future home to the St Louis MLS team we hope, and played soccer for the Cahoks, something I confirmed with a former teammate of his who is now the HS Coach. Sara is a graduate of Oklahoma State but I’ve been unable to confirm if she played college ball or high school ball, despite efforts in the past to reach out. Regardless, they’re talking soccer now and that’s what counts!
