Danny Mwanga: Young Striker's Journey From Congo to MLS to ... World Cup?

*Danny Mwanga: Young Striker's Journey From Congo to MLS to ... World Cup?
If Mwanga's game approaches perfect, of course, then surely a European club and a World Cup beckon. The former is likely a given, sooner or later. The latter is becoming the subject of increasing interest. Mwanga, like Freddy Adu and Giuseppe Rossi, can choose to play for the country of his birth or the country of his salvation. D.R. Congo has qualified for just one World Cup, in 1974, and currently is ranked 123rd in the world by FIFA. Should Mwanga choose his native land, he may never come close. The U.S., on the other hand, is a regular qualifier. Considering the fact that no American forward has scored on soccer's biggest stage since 2002, Mwanga's contact information surely is already on file at the U.S. Soccer Federation's headquarters. He told the Union's Web site that representing the U.S. would be "an honor."


"There's a guy who played at Oregon State, Robbie Findley, who my college coach was telling me was someone I should look up to," Mwanga told FanHouse when asked about his World Cup dreams. "Just watching him play, that makes you realize that there's still a lot of work to do to get to that level. But it's definitely not impossible, and I'm just picturing myself hopefully playing in the next World Cup."

Merry Christmas! This Is Not Another Post About Bob Bradley!

By Matthew Carlson

Yes, I know the big story for USMNT fans right now is that Bob Bradley has signed on to continue as coach of the USMNT. I also know that there are several thousand articles out there right now on that topic, and I thought people might want to read about something else. So, instead of writing about Bob Bradley, I am going to write about Christmas.

When I was a kid, I made Christmas lists as long as my arm. These lists were very detailed and specific, even including the page number in the Sears Wishbook where the present could be located. I wanted it to be impossible for me not to get what I wanted. However, despite my attention to detail, I usually ran downstairs on Christmas morning to find something under the tree that was different than what I had written down in my list. It mystified me how Santa was able to do all kinds of magical stuff, but he could not get my order right! I mean, it was all right there! I could not have set it up any better! I was so disappointed.

I’m feeling a little like this right now when it comes to our Americans abroad. Following the World Cup, there was a lot of hope about where our guys might be playing to start this season. Charlie Davies was going to be back with a vengeance to show it was a mistake to leave him off the World Cup roster. Clint Dempsey was going to Spain or Italy. Jozy Altidore was going to get back to Villarreal, put his head down and make some noise. Onyewu was going to step up to fill a role in a suspect AC Milan defense and be lauded as a legend because he was doing it all for free. Jay DeMerit was going to return to the Premier League. Freddy Adu and Eddie Johnson were going to be off to teams where they would play every game. Michael Bradley was going to Everton or Liverpool. Someone was going to give Brad Guzan a shot at being a number one. Bob Bradley might coach overseas. The list goes on about as long as my arm again.

But much like Christmas past, the fantasy differs from the reality even though it seemed set up so perfectly. Outside of Stuart Holden putting in some pretty solid performances for Bolton, the hopes I had for the Americans have not come true. The transfer window has come and gone and there were no major moves involving Americans. What’s more, several American players are arguably worse off than they were before the World Cup. Onyewu was recently left off of AC Milan’s Champions League roster. Dempsey is fighting for playing time at Fulham and EJ is unlikely to see the field anytime soon. Adu is back to Aris who don’t want him. Altidore was not on the roster for Villarreal’s first league match. Charlie Davies is in the Souchax reserves trying to work his way back. Benny Feilhaber is stuck with a second division club in Denmark and DeMerit is not with any team at all.

Yes, Jonathan Bornstein moving to Mexico is intriguing. You can throw Eric Lichaj getting some time at Aston Villa, Herculez Gomez to Pachuca, Sacha Kljestan to Anderlecht, Beasley and the a few others in there as positives, too. However, none of these are our big guns. None of these examples have the same pizzazz as, say, Onyewu starting in central defense for AC Milan or Altidore consistently getting twenty minutes with Villarreal. It’s disappointing. However, it helps me to remember that the U.S. has more players in foreign leagues than ever and that goes a long way for someone who recalls the US needing a miracle shot in 1989 by Paul Caligiuri against Trinidad & Tobago in order to break a forty year drought in qualifying for the World Cup. Plus, the January transfer window will be here before you know it. Dear Santa, I have been very good. This year I want Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley to be a part of a sick midfield at Everton . .

NCAA Football Betting – Broncos, Hokies Prepare For Top-10 Showdown

NCAA football betting players are usually eased into the schedule, and the first week is usually filled with cupcake games. But this year, they’ve scheduled a few intriguing non-conference games, and none moreso than the game that will take place at FedEx Field, where the WAC’s Boise State will begin their march to the national title by clashing with the ACC’s Virginia Tech. What happens when the BCS Busters are actually the favorites?

Boise State Virginia Tech Betting – Monday, September 6, 8:00 PM ET

The No.3 Broncos ended 2009 unbeaten, edging TCU in the Fiesta Bowl to go 14-0, and 21 of the starters from last year’s team are back, including quarterback Kellen Moore, who figures to be a Heisman candidate. But he’s got a lot of help with him, like running back Jeremy Avery and his top six receivers. The offensive line has been kind of shaky for the Broncos, and that’ll be the one area to watch at Boise State. Defensively, the Broncos lost cornerback Kyle Wilson (those who are betting on NFL lines will recognize him from the Jets), and coordinator Justin Wilcox bailed for Tennessee, but the Broncos should be fine without either.

The Hokies were 10-3 after romping over Tennessee in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, and strangely, offense may be their strength. Tyrod Taylor is going into his senior year, and only two current quarterbacks have won more games in their career (Boise State’s Moore is one of them). He is one of seven starters back for the Hokies, and they’ll have to carry the team for the first part of the season as there are only starters back on that side of the ball. One of those starters, linebacker Barquell Rivers, may not even bet ready for this game as he is slowly recovering from a quadriceps injury that happened months ago.

Online football betting odds have the Broncos as a 2-point favorite at a “neutral site”, although FedEx Field is much, much closer to Virginia Tech than it is to Boise State. The Hokies have tried this before, inviting USC to play them at FedEx Field in 2004, and they lost 24-13. This game should go something like that, as the Broncos are just too deep, and the Hokies have a lot of questions on defense and special teams. The latter is something that the Hokies pride themselves on, and while Taylor has a lot of wins and is improving a lot as a throwing quarterback, he can’t do it on his own against a team like Boise State, who have a knack of never showing nerves in big games.

Online sports betting pick: Boise State -2

Robinho Official grazing in San Siro

Robinho Official grazing in San Siro

Top Football News - Mystery of Manchester City striker, Robinho to AC Milan has finally answered, following her willing players last season on loan to Santos to sign a contract with Rossonerro.

AC Milan earlier offered as a loan player for the duration of two years. However, the Brazilian national team star was rejected with it. Eventually both parties agreed when Milan gave a bid to tie it permanently by four-year contract duration. However, Il Diavolo Rosso still reluctant to mention how much money they must pay to the City to get this Robinho.
