Wanted: Experienced Coaches who are willing to share their knowledge!
WCSC is looking for experienced individuals who have previously coached soccer to help mentor new house coaches this fall. The program will require a minimal amount of your time and effort, but will provide a wealth of helpful information for new coaches. Mentors will be asked to help coaches for four practice sessions and be available during the fall season to answer questions that may come up. If you are interested in helping or would like more information, please click on the following link to sign up.
The USA vs. Ghana game provided another great opportunity for the US fans to show their support, and they came out in full force. Returning to Royal Bafokeng Stadium in Rustenburg, where they drew with England in their first match, the grounds were buzzing many hours before game time. I brought my South African friend Tertius and it was his first soccer match ever, so this was a special experience for us both. We joined a large group of fans that gathered inside the gate to watch the Uruguay v. South Korea game on the big screen. The stadium itself was an open-air style, which made things very cold once the sun went down. But this had no effect on our fans, who were singing and chanting while taking photos of each other. In the stadium, our fans were outnumbered 3-1, with all of Africa behind the last African team in the tournament. But you couldn’t tell from the noise level coming from our fans. Even when we went behind early, the fans never wavered and they played a big part in Donovan’s equalizer. Going into overtime, the feeling around the stadium was that we were headed towards victory. Unfortunately, our run of good form ended after a goal from Gyan early in overtime. Although upset and disappointed, the American supporters stayed long after the game had ended, showing their appreciation for the team and consoling one another. The US run was over, but it gave us many emotional moments that we’ll never forget.
