Nice finishes by Peterson and Bunbury
Sporting KC earn road win in Columbus
Sporting Kansas City capped a productive and business-like road trip on Saturday night by posting another shutout and another victory. Just four days after beating the Philadelphia Union to book their place in the U.S. Open Cup Final, Sporting KC went to Columbus and shut down the Crew. Goal...
That was Bunbury!!!!
Studio 90: U.S. U-23s arrive in Nashville
Agree! No where in Europe would you find a young player getting major minutes on national teams without getting significant minutes for his club side, This is bizarre!!
Full plate for Agudelo limits opportunity with Red Bulls
Photo by Rick Yeatts/ISIphotos.com By DAVE MARTINEZ Playing time has been hard to come by for Juan Agudelo in his brief time with the New York Red Bulls, even after his emergence as a striker for the U.S. senior and Under-23 men's national teams. Luke Rodgers' prolonged battle over his United...
What has Bunbury done to deserve you luv? Stole your girl? Messsed with your wife? Give it a rest! The kid was the in the top 5 in the mls for goals per minute with at least 1000 minutes of playing time. He has the most goals in a 2 year span from the 2010 superdraft. Find me another mls player that has scored 18 goals in all competition in his 1st 2 years after the superdraft/academy. Jk has him in the top 4 in his pool. Yet you post your nonsense concerning his game. You keep pimping the Euro players. Do you have any idea what the 3rd and 4th division is in Germany? Most of the competition can't wait to go to the pubs after a game. Yes, it's important that guys like Boyd and Wooten are kept on the radar, but they haven't done s*** on any credible level. So stop the hate and appreciate!
Porter calls in 23 players for February camp
photo by John Dorton/ISIphotos.com U.S. Under-23 men's national team head coach Caleb Porter has called in a 23-man roster to take part in the February camp leading into a friendly with Mexico's U-23 side, and there are some new faces on the team. Brek Shea, Juan Agudelo, Alfredo Morales and I...
Shea will be there!
U.S. U-23s to face Mexico U-23s in Olympic qualifying tune-up
Photo by ISIphotos.com The United States Under-23 men's national team is going to get a proper tune-up for CONCACAF Olympic qualifying, as it will square off against Mexico's Under-23 side in a friendly at FC Dallas Stadium in Frisco, Texas, on Feb. 29. The match will be a culmination of a 10...
Fortunately, I was able to watch the game with a British commentator calling the game. He gave high praises to Bunbury's game, especially in the 1st half.
Late Clark goal sees USA top Venezuela
By FRANCO PANIZO Just when it looked like the U.S. men's national team was destined for another scoreless game, a familiar face came up with the timeliest of goals. Substitute Ricardo Clark powered home a header deep into stoppage time on Saturday night, giving the United States a 1-0 victory ...
You are lacking football knowledge. Football is about capitalizing on the other team's mistakes.
USMNT 4, US U-23 Team 0: Match Highlights
Shea and Bunbury stood out in that clip. I particularly like Bunbury's finish.
USMNT 4, US U-23 Team 0: Match Highlights
Excellent post!
USMNT downs U-23s, 4-0, in scrimmage
BY ADAM SERRANO CARSON, Calif. -- There were plenty of lessons to be learned on Friday as the U.S. men's national team soundly defeated the U.S. Under-23s, 4-0, in a scrimmage at Home Depot Center. Chris Wondolowski opened the scoring midway through the first half before Benny Feilhaber doubl...
You got this twisted! Based on performance, Bunbury has 12 goals in all competition, which includes 2 playoff goal. In contrast, Agudelo is a bench player and Wooten and Boyd play in in the reserve league. Yes, he found himself on the bench behind Sapong, but regained his form and position down the stretch. I am amazed at the negativety toward the kid. Is he still growing as a player? Hell yeah!! I chalenge you and others to go back to the past 4 years of any GA players career and compare it to what Bunbury has accomplished. I think it's useless to compare his to Boyd's and Wooten's unless you feel that the u-23 league is better than the mls.
Boyd, Lletget score in final U.S. U-23 scrimmage of training camp
By FRANCO PANIZO BRADENTON, Fla. -- The U.S. Under-23 men's national team wrapped up its December camp with a second intra-squad scrimmage on Thursday afternoon, and the competition for roster spots set the tone for a physical and fiery match. Split up into white and blue teams, the 29 playe...
That's your opinion, but he is the only CF going to the Senior camp. Again, my post is related to Boyd-who by all account is a good player-being penciled ahead Bunbury on the U-23 squad.

That's faulty logic. Bunbury plays regularly as a 1st teamer and lead his team to the playoffs. He gets a great opportunity to start in the upcoming friendlies. yet, after getting reports from one source-btw thanks for the reports Ives-Boyd (playing in a reserve league) is better than Bunbury.

So, let me get this straight. Bunbury, who is on the senior team and has a two-year connection with Porter is going to be let off the the team? Brilliant!

Agree! BB was starting to get "it" when he brought LD off the bench during the GC. If we are talking about the here and now, LD is a progress stopper. By the way, so is Buddle.
Buddle replaces Donovan for USMNT
Photo by ISIphotos.com Landon Donovan has withdrawn from the U.S. national team for the upcoming friendlies against Honduras and Ecuador, and he'll be replaced by his former Los Angeles Galaxy teammate, Edson Buddle. Donovan, who looked to suffer a bit of a knock in the second half of the Gal...
Sapong is not eligible for the Olympic squad.
Klinsmann releases roster for October friendlies
photo by Thomas Eisenhuth/ISIphotos.com By FRANCO PANIZO Jurgen Klinsmann has released the roster for the U.S. men's national team's upcoming friendlies against Honduras and Ecuador, and there are plenty of familiar faces and one brand new face. German-born midfielder/defender Danny Williams h...
It's difficult to ask a coach to game plan around just one player. However, Bunbury showed his strengths in that game. He is simply not a back to the goal player. If the mids keep feeding him through-balls, he will destroy the opponents defense.
Sporting KC grabs share of first place with rout
By DAVID GUBALA Sporting Kansas City completed the impressive climb from last place in the Eastern Conference to first place with their latest victory at Livestrong Park, and the star was a player KC will need to shine if they plan on staying in first place. Teal Bunbury's sophomore season has...
Cool it w/Sapong. He has 3 goals in over 1600 minutes.
SBI MLS Team of the Week: Sporting Kansas City
There really is no place like home when it comes to Kansas. After getting 10 road games under its belt before opening play in Livestrong Sporting Park, Sporting Kansas City has made a dramatic U-turn to vault all the way to second place in MLS' Eastern Conference. On the strength of two more...
Agree! He is directly responsible for Bunbury's sudden lack of form. Competition is good, but you don't draft a player that plays the same position as your potential breakout star. It doesn't work in other sports.
MLS East Notes: Red Bulls break out, Vermes rips Rapids and more
Photo by ISIphotos.com By THOMAS FLOYD After a two-month slump caused by a combination of injuries, international absences and inconsistent play, a nearly 100 percent New York Red Bulls squad reminded MLS just how lethal it can be Wednesday, dismantling Toronto FC for a 5-0 win. After takin...
Agree about Smith's nomadic club life. However, this seams to be a Vermes related issue. Smith has clashed with Vermes on several occasions. My sense is Vermes struggles with managing his better players such Bunbury and Smith.
Sporting KC winger Smith goes on leave for remainder of MLS season
Photo by Nick Turchiaro/ISIphotos.com Sporting Kansas City has had to cope without speedy winger Ryan Smith for much of the 2011 season, and it turns out it will have do so for the remainder of the campaign as well. The team announced Tuesday that Smith will miss the rest of the season, retur...
Bunbury is still top notch. He is very polished, but struggles with his touch. He needs to find the right formula re: ball control and he will be ok.
Sporting ends FC Dallas unbeaten run in style
By CALEB SONNELAND In one of the more eye-catching results of the weekend, Sporting Kansas City thumped FC Dallas 4-1 at Pizza Hut Park on Sunday evening, ending the hosts' nine-game unbeaten streak. Away from home, without its DP and eventually reduced to 10 men, Sporting put together one o...
Totally agree. I would love to see Teal play with quality players that can utilize his talents.
Projecting the USA Gold Cup Team: The Forwards
When Bob Bradley sits down to pick his CONCACAF Gold Cup team, deciding on the forwards he is going to bring won't be easy. There are cases for several forwards, and cases against many of those same forwards. Whether it's players who are or aren't scoring goals, or even in the case of Juan A...
I consider Bunbury to be a really good talent. However, the lack of service hamper his development.
SBI MLS Spotlight: Teal Bunbury

Bunbury's goals were clinical. This kid is the real deal, unfortunately, most prefer the others.
Camilo's 2 stoppage-time goals cap wild Vancouver comeback in draw with SKC
When Kei Kamara put Sporting Kansas City ahead of the Vancouver Whitecaps, 3-0, midway through the second half, things looked pretty bleak for the expansion side, playing in front of its home fans for the second time this season. Two impactful substitutions and three clutch goals later, the ...
Agree! The hype is no different than in other sports. Before his injury, Bunbury was getting the hype, now it's Juan's turn. After the SA game Mix was getting the hype. The beat goes on. Agudelo is certainly a talent, but he never broke the opponents defense down on or off the ball. Does he belong on the senior team? Yes! Is he the most talented striker in the pool? Let's wait and see.
Agudelo continues run of form with performance against Argentina
By FRANCO PANIZO EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Ever since Charlie Davies was involved in the notorious car accident that severely injured him, U.S. men's national team head coach Bob Bradley has been in search of a second forward to pair with Jozy Altidore. Bradley may have found that forward in 1...
You are wrong about Jozy being miles ahead of the wonder twins. Jaun has flare and Teal has burst, Jozy has neither.
Projecting the USA Gold Cup roster: February Edition
The CONCACAF Gold Cup is less than four months away now and the clock is ticking on American players hoping to do enough to earn a place on the Gold Cup roster. There hasn't been much shake-up in the squad we're projecting in February from the roster we named in January, with just two new name...
