In a joint effort of SUM, FC Dallas, The Mexican Soccer Federation, US Soccer and more, these two rivals will be meeting up over the next four years at the home of the NFL Dallas Cowboys. The Mexican team has played there in the past to near capacity crowds, in excess of 70,000 in average. This first game is set for June 9, 2018 and will be part of the run up to the Gold Cup.

Today, USC revealed the 2018 Regional Staff of the Year for NCAA DI,II & III. As there are fully 2 dozen chosen, listed are the locals and more prominent coaches selected for such a prestigous honor.  All will be feted during the USC convention in Jan.  All will also be on the USC ballot for National Staff of the Year per division along with staffs that advance to the semis of their NCAA Championship. The voting opens today, closes on Dec 14.

Before 70,000 5 stripe fans, ATL UTD did not disappoint as they had in EVERY one of their previous meeting as NYRB won those. NY played a different, laid back style, not the ever pressing one that got them to this point. One key, missing piece, Taxi, Kemar Lawrence was missing but he is one of 10 on field players so missing 10% was not the full answer. For two of the goals there was not much to do about, a pass played in from the other side of the field that was as the announcer decscribed as "inch perfect" was just that, had it been played anywhere else this opening goal does not happen.

They beat the US at RBA just over a year ago, it was as I recall a 4 goal swing from their last meeting. I asked Capt. Michael Bradley about how to rebound, his reply was along the lines of we had to. Well, they did not, but then this time it is not a have to win but a friendly. After facing 4 top teams world wide, a local rival comes into play in CRC, the time has yet to be announced but will be carried on FS1 & Univision Networks. follow it on fb, twitter @ussoccer_MNT and IG @ussoccer_MNT. This is to be the last of 2 games set for the Jan.
