U.S. Men's National Team: July 2008 Archives
Regular readers will know I'm no fan of the FIFA ranking system, but the latest was released today and it's somehow disturbing that the U.S. plummeted to No. 30 behind the likes of Israel and Egypt (but ahead of Northern Ireland!).
Here's the complete list. It's reportedly the lowest U.S. ranking in 15 months.
Meanwhile, Orange County resident and new Bayern Munich Coach Jurgen Klinsmann met the media for the first time today at a nationally televised press conference.
Lastly, the Loyola Marymount women's schedule was released today.
