Here's the podcast of last night's live special edition of the American Soccer Show entitled "Bob Got Fired." Things as big as Bob Bradley getting fired don't happen too often, so Jared and I hit UStream by popular demand (meaning like 3 people asked).

Brian Sciaretta (a Twitter must-follow) from Yanks Abroad joined us off the top to give his analysis of the situation. Amazingly, this move didn't surprise Brian.

Most people think it's Klinsmann; we get Brian's thoughts on Jurgen's credentials and what the staff might look like, wonder where Bob might go, and who it might be if it's not Klinsmann.

There's a brief interlude due to some technical difficulties, and when we come back it's Jared and I giving out thoughts, taking calls, reading emails, and attempting to figure out what the hell just happened and what the hell might happen next.

Thanks, as always, for listening. Make sure you like and comment at the Facebook page and hit us up on Twitter via the AmSoc account and the CSRN network account.

You can follow me @mfusa and Jared @jrodius as well.

Rating and comments in iTunes are always greatly, greatly appreciated. It just takes a few minutes and will help us climb the charts or something.

Jared and I have decided to take get together for a special edition of the American Soccer Show tonight at 6:30 PM ET/3:30 PM PT. There's a lot to talk about in the wake of the US performance against Guadaloupe, and we'll check the confidence of the fans ahead of Sunday's quarterfinal match with Jamaica.

We've got a completely packed American Soccer Show set to record today, and I thought it might be worth it to stream it live for those interested.


Jared was out at the USA-Chile match and collected some excellent post-game audio. We'll hit all of the talking points from the game, review the tapes, and consider the winners and losers.

Black is appropriate

Dear friends,

It's a dark day.  FIFA, in their grand wisdom, has chosen to give the 2022 World Cup to Qatar.  We know you have thoughts, we know you want to share them.  We're here to give you a forum.  We'll probably also touch on the 2018 race, won by Russia over England and others.


The American Soccer Show will be live tonight starting at 8 PM Eastern.  You can listen in via the Live Show page here or at the AmSoc UStream channel.

A quick heads up - The American Soccer Show will be live at 5:30 Eastern.

Listen through the UStream channel or the "Live Shows" page above.

We'll take calls if we can get them, plus take your feedback via Twitter and email.

With a resolution finally coming on the USMNT head coaching saga, we thought it was time to bring back the live edition of the American Soccer Show.

Soccer talk liv...er...live soccer talk!

Bringing this back - it's been far too long. And I'm actually giving you a bit of notice this time!

I hesitated to post this debacle, but what the hell. Despite my own lack of composure and Zach's (yes, Zach showed up for a midweek live show) attempts to throw me off with talk of bad 80's movies, there is some good soccer talk in there. Beau Dure, late of USA Today and author of Long Range Goals, a book on the history and success of MLS, popped in twice to bookend the proceedings.


Enjoy.

Pretend radio!

Short notice again - I've decided to fire up the UStream machine and kill an hour of mic time.

I couldn't come up with a clever title.

Anyway, here's the show I just did, in case you missed it.

Things covered: Spain v. Germany, Andy Najar's national team choice, DC United's problems, Danny Mwanga's national team prospects, Yura Movsisyan's national team prospects, the Union's playoff chances, Bob Bradley's fit at Fulham, Marcelo Bielsa and the USMNT, and more stuff I can't remember. Seriously, it's packed.

Bradley pulls the old okey-doke on my and picks Robbie Findley even though the kid didn't get on the field against the Czech's last night. By my "Dirty Dozen" theory, any player that wasn't a sure thing and didn't play was probably in major trouble; apparently that didn't apply to the speedy RSL striker. And it's also a bit of a surprise that both Buddle and Gomez made the team.


Here's the rest of the roster, with most of it fairly predictable. World Cup teams made is in parentheses:

GOALKEEPERS (3): Brad Guzan (2010), Marcus Hahnemann (2006, 2010), Tim Howard (2006, 2010)

DEFENDERS (7): Carlos Bocanegra (2006, 2010), Jonathan Bornstein (2010), Steve Cherundolo (2002, 2006, 2010), Jay DeMerit (2010), Clarence Goodson (2010), Oguchi Onyewu (2006, 2010), Jonathan Spector (2010)

MIDFIELDERS (9): DaMarcus Beasley (2002, 2006, 2010), Michael Bradley (2010), Ricardo Clark (2010), Clint Dempsey (2006, 2010), Landon Donovan (2002, 2006, 2010), Maurice Edu (2010), Benny Feilhaber (2010), Stuart Holden (2010), José Torres (2010)

FORWARDS (4): Jozy Altidore (2010), Edson Buddle (2010), Robbie Findley (2010), Herculez Gomez (2010)


Zach and I will be live tonight over at The American Soccer Show website to take Skype calls and get the impressions of Goal.com's Noah Davis. We'll also have a short chat with Turkish Soccer's Ahmet Bob Turgut about what to expect this weekend against Turkey.


I expect much of the furor will be over the exclusion of Brian Ching and the inclusion of Robbie Findley; rather than give my take today in written form, I'm going to save it for the show tonight. I'll likely have a closer look at things tomorrow.


Feel free to work out any angst you're feeling in the comments below.


I'm also going to include the show player and chat room in this post for tonight's show, just to make things as easy as possible. If you miss the show, it will be available for download tomorrow.

Talking is fun.

Wednesday was MLS night, so the free for all (or JD Lounge as someone dubbed it) is happening on a Thursday. Join me as I fumble with Skype, talk about soccer, and play music not everyone likes. Start time moved back a half hour to 9 ET.

It was such a success last week that I've decided to bring it back; it's the Footy Free For All, in which I will babble incessantly while fielding Skype calls, Tweets, and chatroom comments from all the other soccer freaks who join me.


Kicking off at 8:30 PM ET.
