Congratulations to Sinisa...

Great find @TennZip. More on Kuzain Wan Kamal... http://saintlouisfc.com/sports/msoc/2016-17/releases/20160521k9fxyu ... Kuzain, a class for 2017 product, has played for SLSG Illinois, been selected to train with the U17 U.S. National Team and Dutch club Feyenoord as well. ...

Former Seattle Sounders defender and current U.S. national team stalwart DeAndre Yedlin swings by the Sound of Soccer studios to discuss his future in the English Premier League, what he loves about Jurgen Klinsmann and how the USMNT rallied against those hoping the team would fail at this summer's Copa America Centenario. The guys also discuss the legitimacy of Clint Dempsey's red card against FC Dallas and the controversy surrounding the Emerald City Supporters and a supposed lack of diversity. Music on today's show by Seattle retro soul group Grace Love and the True Loves. http://po.st/Ec3uEG A must listen for any Zips Soccer fan. Love the stories about Akron and Caleb between Steve Zakuani & DeAndre.

Beat me to it TennZip, but here's one from 2012 (taken at Caleb's farewell)

GoZips must be a little behind. Lundt and Korb have been added to the roster along with Pollard and Crawford, who both joined in the Spring, but the remaining recruits have not yet been added. Also, Cregan, Rubio, and Dakwar removed. http://www.gozips.com/sports/msoc/2016-17/roster?sort=last_name

http://hurstathletics.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=6841 Interesting the number of GKs we now have...Rubio, Pollard, Costa, Saunders, Lundt (Gotta get a German flag now.) Strike that ... Rubio transferred to Utah Valley University back in June. In addition to USA, players from Canada (2), Brasil (2), Portugal (2), Spain, England, Germany, Israel, Cameroon, Eritrea, Australia, New Zealand, and a coach from Ireland. Strike that, too...Looks like Adi Dakwar is gone, too.

#VoteSanda as NCAA's Elite 90 Fan Favorite Award Winner It appears Tyler is currently #16

What about VS8, SH9, BR20, TS19, SG7, DR5, AM17, RD22, SH21, GS25, JP24, EK15, MCaa, ESbb, NHcc, JPdd, AMee, and so on .... ? I guess this is an Adam Najem thread. However, it takes 11 to make a team, and all of them, starters and subs, are important.

@Z.I.P ... Thanks for that Dave Wottle gold medal footage.

Cincinnati’s Stevenson Wins USL Goal of the Month Aodhan Quinn had 1 of the other 2 goals that Eric's was up against.

Dillon Serna done for 2016 season due to blown ACL in last week's USOC match. http://view-from-the-couch.blogspot.com/2016/07/dillon-serna-done-for-season.html Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

3 MLS matches on July 4th, and not one of them was televised nationally.

Emmanuel Sabbi Finally, we come to Sabbi. Maybe the best player on this roster, and almost certainly the best forward. In an attacking sense, the U20s will probably be heavily reliant on Sabbi at next year’s U20 World Cup barring something unforeseen. He’s one of the few players in this group you can pick out as a sure pick for 2017, and at least right now there isn’t a better forward in the U20 pool. He’s uniquely talented on ball, can work his way around central defenders with his own movement and is positively lethal in the box. The question with Sabbi is always service. He can create for himself, but he needs a central attacking midfielder to push him into more dangerous positions since he has a tendency to drift. Whether that’s FC Dallas’ Weston McKennie or rising UCLA sophomore Jackson Yueill or maybe even Akale, keep an eye out for who’s doing the majority of feeding on Sabbi’s shots. It matters. All the nuts and bolts aside, Sabbi is earmarked for big things in U.S. Soccer. He has the potential to be a special striker with as varied and unique a skill set as any No. 9 in the system. After a strong Dallas Cup with the U20s earlier this year, we’ll see if the NTC is the venue where Sabbi becomes an even bigger name than he is now. I'm looking forward to seeing Emmanuel Sabbi hook up with the midfield talent we have as well as our other forwards.

The confirmation that I think many have been awaiting via GoZips.com... Adam Najem Set to Return to Zips for Senior Season

This is a week old, but nice to see that not only local USMNT player & former Zip Darlington is a LeBron/Cavs fan, but also ...

I don't know why they would. The man who ceremoniously handed LeBron the trophy, symbolizing the last Cleveland major sports championship in 1964, was born in Georgia and played college football at Syracuse.
