::Raises hand::

Should be buying flights in the next month or so...

Going with a group of 5-6.

Lookin to stay with friends outside of Rio, but looking at alternative housing options (this scares me because of the prices smh)...

Right now we are all ticketless but we will def be getting our black market/scalped ticket on if/when we lose out on the lottery...

Bucket list item and I'm 33, So this is pretty much my only legit shot at attending a WC...

Russia and Qatar AREN"T options for me and in 2026 i'll be 46 and most likely married with children, so its now or never...

NT summit in RIO or Sao Paolo July 4th 2014 weekend? LOL

Catching the first round.

Purchased my airfare about a month ago. Apartment was booked almost 2 months ago. Will be based in Rio (Leblon). Just waiting for my tickets. Applied for 3 tst's for the US and El Tri.

Can't wait til December to see where the matches will be.

My Advice is to get your airfare asap.

For die hard US Soccer fans that have been keeping tabs on Bob Bradley's work with Egypt's national team especially since the Arab spring, here's a trailer of a great looking doc coming out. Not sure of the release date but also included is the link to the doc's site.

^ Especially considering Egypt would probably be favored against any team besides Ghana. The soccer God's just wouldn't have it any other way for Bob.

MLS' website posted this pic. Might be the USMNT's WC shirts. I hate collars on football shirts. The official unveiling isn't to occur until 1st quarter 2014. It's supposed to change again in 2015.

We get new kits in 2014. Doubt those are it. Adidas kits are just leaking. Will see Nike's leaks in December.

I like the kit on the left but the right one bores me to death. I don't get the historic feel they are trying to push. We don't have a deep rooted soccer history like the European clubs. I was hoping that they would something new age, kinda like they do with oregon. But guess not
 
US Soccer released it's 2013 audited financial statement. Interesting stuff on page 17.

Klinsmann is under contract thru 8/31/14, making $2.5 mill per year. His potential bonus for the U.S.’ performance at the WC ranges from $500k to $10.5 mill. I guess the bonus structure increases as the US team progresses.

Women's NT coach Tom Sermanni contract runs thru 12/31/16 with a base salary ranges from $195K to $210K with bonuses possible from $25K and $80K based on
the 2015 WC & the 2016 Olympics. He gets paid his rate for 6 months if he gets fired before his contract is up.

Interestingly, the Nike deal info is there also which runs through 12/31/14 which generates $13 mill in revenue for the federation & $2.45 mill in equipment at wholesale prices.

Great read if interested in this kind of stuff.

  • 10/15/13 vs. Panama - WC Qualifier
  • 11/15/13 vs. Scotland - friendly
  • 11/19/13 vs. Austria - friendly. This game will only occur if Austria does not qualify for the WC.
 
New rosters announced.

Out: Deuce, MB90, John Brooks, F. Johnson

In: Sacha, Boyd

Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)

Defenders: DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City) Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy)

Let's get these 6 points and hopefully jump into FIFA's top 7 (wishful thinking I know). Winning the Gold Cup and winning the Hex may bode well for us.

Friday, Oct. 11th - Jamaica vs USA (Sporting Park - Kansas City, Kansas) - 6:30 ET, ESPN
Tuesday, Oct. 15th - USA vs Panama (Estadio Rommel Fernandez - Panama City, Panama) - 9:00 ET, beIN SPORT

Not having Duece or Bradley sucks but save for Gonzalez (I just don't like his uneven play), I like this roster. I think it's a strong roster. Even though we qualified already, we still need to try to win these qualifiers to help with seating. Hope some of the young guys can play & do well.
