The â€œJoseâ€™s death-stareâ€ edition View this email in your browser HOWLER BULLETIN IS SUPPORTED BY NIKE SOCCER With the U.S.-Korea match tomorrow, we thought it would be a good time to revisit our issue-three story about the U.S. national teamâ€™s strategy of recruiting foreign-born talent. See more below. 1. Jurgen didnâ€™t start the German invasion

This week, we published a story from issue three that reveals how the 2008 discovery of Mikkel Diskerud by then-U.S. U-20 coach Thomas Rongen led to a serious effort by the federation to identify and track foreign-born prospects for the team. Check out Seth Vertelneyâ€™s story here. 2. Issue four shipments

Location: La Paz, Bolivia

Year built: 1931 Home team: The Strongest, Club Bolivar, Bolivian national team Capacity: 38,000 At 11,800 feet, the Hernando Siles is one of the highest stadiums in the world. Two of its tenants, Club BolÃ­var and The Strongest, are Boliviaâ€™s strongest performers at home and abroad with over twenty domestic championships and fifty appearances in the Copa Libertadores between them. (The stadium is not the official home ground of either team, but both play most of their games there due to its larger capacity.) In addition to its domestic duties, the Hernando Siles hosted multiple matches during the 1997 Copa AmÃ©rica, including Bolivia's semifinal upset win against Mexico and then its loss to Ronaldo, ZÃ© Roberto, and the Brazilians in the final. More recently, the stadium has been at the center of Boliviaâ€™s struggles with FIFA. In May 2007, FIFA announced that La Pazâ€™s extreme altitude created an unfair advantage for the home squad, banning qualifiers from being played above 8,200 feet. Bolivia protested, and weeks later FIFA raised the maximum to 9,840â€”and granted an exception to games played at Estadio Hernando Siles. â€”Sam Patterson The Cactus Pricks

Keaton Koch, president:



We support an amateur team in 105 degree weather. We support and promote the growth of soccer throughout the Tucson region and Southern Arizona, including MLS spring training. We are the reigning Desert Derby champions, a charity match against a neighboring supporters group, with whom we helped raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project. We've followed FC Tucson's growth from the beginningâ€”from when they were playing matches at a high school to their very own soccer-specific stadium.
