David McCoy of WCCO sat down with Brent Kallman during a friendly poker game with teammates. Kallman mentioned that if his soccer career had not taken off, he could see himself playing poker professionally.

Brent has also been coaching soccer. He joined Hill-Murray as an assistant coach this past season, where his presence has calmed the defense down. Since joining Hill-Murray, they have allowed 1.5 goals per game, down from 2.1. Fellow coaches and players have noted that his leadership has had a positive impact on the team.

  NEE – “next eight eliminated” started on the great Northern Pitch. This looks like a good place to post to continue.
  – #165 Papua New Guinea out;
  – #79 Gabon out;
  – #65 Guinea out;
  – #59 Hungary out;
  – #58 Czech Republic out;
  – #57 Austria out;
  – #52 Ghana out;
  – #45 Cameroon out;
  The biggest upsets from these eight was Gabon’s 2-1 win over #54 Côte d’Ivoire, and Austria’s 3-2 win over #32 Serbia. Scanning youtube for the matches will reveal very creative music overdubs on the highlights, and enthusiastic announcers. The NP site had a great thread where we could share and discuss WC Qualifiers.
  Also, Portugal (#3) & France (#8) & Iceland (#22) & Serbia (#32) & Panama (#60) qualify.
