I say “sort of” because of all the play-in tourneys that have to happen. I think USA will have to play awesome to get out of their group but I don’t see a particular “group of death” with the closest perhaps being Group L with England, Croatia, Ghana, and Panama (who is stronger this round). Those are my thoughts. Love to hear yours! Hopefully soccer can help the world come together in 2026!
Thank You
I wanted to say thanks for the card boys and your words. Thanks also to parents and other connected to the team for emails and kind words. Finally, thanks to the guys who have come by and checked in – it is good to see you and I know you’ve got my back. And I have yours.
WABS News Update
We have a new player from Columbia – Tomas Zapata. Please make him feel welcome when you see him in the halls of if you are in class with him.
Banquet is not forgotten as is rest of VL point tabulations. I’m looking at likely December. Thanks for your patience.
Winter League Team is Forming – great place to get touches and work on your passing and chemistry with each other. Please reach out to Coach Walsh for details if you would like to participate. The club will offset at least some of the cost.

Some uniforms never came back
If you forgot your uniform today, your next opportunity will be Friday after school at 2:15 PM down at the cage. After that, I will be obligated to fill out a reimbursement claim – they are not cheap! Please get them in! BTW – everyone who got one in today – +10 VL Points! I am still tallying them!
Uniform Hand In
Where: Wilson Area High School Gym Basement – go down the stairwell by the doors to the practice football field. Ill post some signs
When: 2:15 PM – Monday
What: All Jerseys and Shorts – home and away, JV and Varsity. You keep the socks. If you borrowed a ball or I loaned you a jacket, please return that as well.

All good things …
All good things come to end. It is hard. Remember the quote from Teddy Roosevelt…
