Seattle, one of the newest expansion teams to join the MLS defeated D.C. United 2-1 to win the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in front of a crowd at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in Washington. Not only did the Sounders get to handle the Lamar Hunt trophy, but their team name was engraved on the Dewar Cup, they pocketed $100,000, and earned a spot in the Concacaf Champions League for next summer. Even though the Open Cup isn’t one of the soccer world’s major sporting events, it is still a triumph for the Seattle Sounders who have an even brighter future ahead than they imagined.

D.C. United is not only giving their fans a reason to keep coming to their games, but now, they will ensure that their fans LOVE coming out to the games.

The team will embark on a 20 day tour, the We Win Trophies Tour, with their U.S. Open Cup trophy in tow. Four of the many local bars that they will be stopping at will each host one of United’s four MLS Cup Trophies.

Kevin Payne, the President and CEO of United reasoned why the tour was a good idea, “We thought it made sense to share our success with our supporters through this We Win Trophies Tour. Though we have a lot of trophies to choose from, we decided it appropriate to visit our fans with the club’s most recent trophy and the one we will try to defend on September 2.”

You can find a full schedule of the tour with the bars they will be stopping at HERE.

Man United’s creaky defense jeopardizing trophies

Man United’s creaky defense jeopardizing trophies

Manchester United’s once formidable defense has leaked 10 goals in the past four matches, leaving its previously invincible back line struggling to keep the team in the race to defend its English and Champions League titles.

Before United’s frailties were exposed in a 4-1 loss to Liverpool last month, the Red Devils had conceded only 10 goals in 23 Premier League and Champions League matches stretching back to Nov. 1. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar even set a British record by going 1,311 minutes without conceding a goal.

Those days are long gone.

“I don’t think it’s a case of players not having the confidence but maybe we’ve had so many games and also we’ve had players injured,” defender Nemanja Vidic said.

United is chasing an unprecedented five trophies this season. The three-time European champions have already won the Club World Cup and League Cup, and they face Everton in the semifinals of the FA Cup later this month.
“At this stage of the season you need all your big players to be ready,” Vidic said. “After the Liverpool game we said we had to fix it but we didn’t. Now we have to put it right.” (more…)

Trophy Atrophy

Trophy Atrophy
These Days Everyone Is A Winner

trophies award trophy3 150x150 Trophy Atrophy
They’re the first things you see when you enter my son’s room, and the only things he packed when a wildfire neared our home.

They’re 10 golden, gleaming trophies, each touting him as a “winner” at T-ball, soccer, basketball. The most recent is a pewter mega-monument he earned playing football—on a team that lost every game by about 30 points.

While certainly a winner in my book, the kid has never once been on a championship team. Or even a mediocre one. Still, he has received more trophies than birthday cakes in his life. And he’s not alone.
Mini-athletes get trophies these days just for showing up. They’re de rigeur, as much a part of kids’ sports now as Gatorade and ghastly, costly team photos. At the end-of-season pizza party (also a given), every team member gets a sizable statuette on an engraved pedestal. Play-off teams probably get bigger ones; ahem, I, wouldn’t know.

“Claire got a soccer trophy even though she sat on her fanny and cried through every practice,” says a mom I know. (more…)

Trophy life
trophies award trophy 150x150 Trophy life

Trophies are treasured prizes — whether bestowed on professional athletes who have just helped their team win a national championship or presented to a youth soccer player who showed up for every game and played his heart out. Corporate executives and third-grade spelling bee winners alike gratefully receive these awards and proudly display them in their offices or bedrooms at home.

“People like to be recognized for their accomplishments, what they’ve done in the workplace or on the playing field and other avenues,” says Jay Stelmach, the maker of monuments and owner of Colonial Trophy in Lakeville.

The family owned and operated business first opened in Taunton in 1955 and has been at its current location next to Mucky’s Liquors on Route 44 since 1968.

Stelmach offers a huge selection of trophies, plaques, medals and other commemorative items for a vast variety of sports and activities. Trophies for every major sport are available and if it’s not, Stelmach takes special orders.

“I had a guy today pick up 15 cricket trophies for his cricket club, and we’ve done trophies for a chicken show, pigeon racing, stuff like that,” he says. (more…)

The Real Deal – Wake Forest’s Marcus Tracy could become the school’s first Hermann Trophy winner

Marcus Tracy leads the Wake Forest soccer team with 10 goals and 26 points, which includes six assists.

While watching Marcus Tracy play soccer, it’s easy to envision him in a helmet and pads helping the Wake Forest football team at safety, or lacing up his old basketball shoes and filling in at point guard.

However, Tracy is content with soccer and with trying to help the top-ranked Deacons win another national championship.
