Text of the page (random words):
and this past saturday afternoon in the cool rain at avaya when my son drove himself to the quakes game and then drove his oldest daughter home with him over the sunol grade those two points in time are so different yet so memorable i could not be prouder of chris nor happier for the three people who rank up there with me in terms of his fans lindsey emersyn and brynlee posted by wondo s world at 10 43 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday october 10 2018 disclosure this is simply personal thoughts that i open to my family and friends and anyone else who has interest some years ago my son chris wondolowski scored his 100 th goal in major league soccer regular season play the goal itself was unremarkable as it was a penalty kick and the field was levi stadium in santa clara nonetheless surprising to me it moved me to tears we are now 44 goals later in chris career and the next goal if it comes would tie him with landon donovan i never believed that chris would score 100 goals and i never believed that he would score 144 goals and i never believed that he would be mentioned in comparisons to the best american soccer player of this generation probably all time let me qualify i never believed i actually always believed in fact i always knew i just put up my guards against what i believed and knew and real life chris took real life and bent it into a reality that matched his skills passion desire and attitude as a father witnessing this for the past dozen plus years is something that i am thankful for every day actually thankful may not be the right word more accurately i am amazingly impressed by him every day real life meets my son and my son tells real life try to stay up with me the biggest thing against my nature is to write about an accomplishment that has not yet occurred so i will try to not do that actually i don t have to because there are 144 other goals championships and awards that chris has earned and countless friendships that individually chris and i have been able to build over those years chris accomplishments have allowed me to spend a couple of amazing weeks in brazil rooming with his brother stephen and watching world cup games in person his accomplishments have allowed me to travel to virtually every city that mls plays in and watch those games in person i m thinking of writing a mls travel guide one of my favorite stories that can probably be told now is when chris with houston was playing in denver we went to dinner on 16 th street at a sports bar and the hockey playoffs were going on so the place was all about the avalanche they had a sports trivia contest and chris and i won a huge coors avalanche mirror don t mess with us on sports trivia we decided to carry it back to his team s hotel the mirror was huge and put it in the room that chris was sharing with brad davis all statute of limitations have expired by now so this is the first time this news has come out i m guessing dominic never found out i miss that mirror chris has been blessed to be able to spend most of his career with san jose the fans are amazing avaya stadium is great while the results have been up and down the ride has been wonderful selfishly i have been blessed to be able to drive 45 minutes to watch my son play soccer like many of you i ve driven a lot longer than that early saturday mornings over the years i have also been blessed to fly halfway around the world to watch him play soccer and all the way across the country and all points in between while his soccer career has been amazing it may be hard for outsiders to see that it has always been and is a family thing first his wife and daughters watch sometimes his daughters take an ice cream break during the game and cheer for him his extended family is in the stands friends from his childhood come to home games high school teammates and college teammates are at every game we ve been incredibly lucky to attach our family to the san jose earthquakes family we ve been incredibly lucky to be able to witness chris chasing this milestone if 145 happens and you happen to be by me i hope you can handle some tears if 145 never happens the other 144 are pretty awesome posted by wondo s world at 8 00 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday april 20 2018 top five signs that now you are a grand dude i think that one day all of a sudden i was a grand dude i suspect that like everything else in my life that it was a deliberate and obvious process however i have no evidence to prove that it was a deliberate and obvious process and only my seriously faulty memory to claim that all of a sudden i was a grand dude top five signs that now your life is being a grand dude 5 this one is easy and obvious one day your grand daughters introduce you to strangers teachers stray dogs zookeepers and baristas as this is my grand dude 4 without trying and you would like to say despite not trying you now know all the words to the movies frozen and moana 3 even though you know better and see the transparency when any one of those little girls says grand dude i love you you immediately reach for your wallet and start throwing out money you know you are being played but somehow you don t resist 2 despite a life time of playing go fish you let your grand daughter adopt a brand new set of rules dynamic rules that seem to favor her hand 1 even though you know that being within 6 meters of any of them guarantees that you will be sick for the next 7 days you do it anyway posted by wondo s world at 7 01 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest saturday january 27 2018 top ten signs that your life is cool this past friday night january 26 was a bit humbling but it was also tremendously fun and rewarding when you are just a guy like me the spotlight is something that you see shining on other people thanks to my son for a short period of time i found myself on the other side of the spotlight and after 24 hours i decided to reflect on some signs that maybe your life has turned out okay top ten signs in one night that makes you feel like your life has been pretty good 10 you go to an event where your sons are wearing suits and ties 9 your sons and daughters in law share a pre ceremony drink with you in the lobby bar at the fairmont hotel you pick up the tab your sons have learned alligator arms 8 you look at your daughters in law and realize that they are two of the most beautiful women on earth right up there with your step daughters 7 when you look at your three sons you see men men that you would want to be friends with 6 you get to be part of an amazing organization s awards night like coaching corps 5 coaching corps and nbc sports bay area give you your own handler i ve never had a handler and that was pretty cool no wait that was way cool 4 your sons and daughters in law spend part of the night with you at the tonga room in the fairmont and you watch your daughter in law dance with your wife to a cover of earth wind and fire onlytwodancing 3 you remember the last time you

street soccer usa cup series completed its third and final 2016 leg this past weekend with a wonderful weekend of soccer at san francisco s union square street soccer usa ssusa is an amazing national organization with international affiliations that provides a real world framework of solutions for homeless and at risk youth the san francisco ssusa has been performing fantastic work for the local community for many years in 2010 chris wondolowski connected with ssusa and became their national spokesman as an outreach based on sports and soccer resonated with chris this year we worked with ssusa and the san jose earthquakes among others to put on a celebrity soccer match in the middle of sunday s tournament finals the venue was on top of union square where two street soccer fields were set against grandstands and the beautiful backdrop of the st francis hotel and the rest of the great landmarks ssusa through its key pillars known as the 8 street soccer skills show up play with heart look up take the space build your triangle praise great play play the plan adjust the plan has built an impressive record of successes in helping homeless and positively developing at risk youth the celebrity players demonstrated each of those key pillars on sunday afternoon before we get into the actual player ratings for the celebrity match here are the wonderful people who donated their time and their passion to play in the game chris wondolowski celebrity soccer match playing for social change o joe cannon former professional goalkeeper o chris dangerfield former professional forward o todd dunivant former professional defender o phil ginsburg current professional general manager of s f recreation and parks o jeremy gunn stanford university head soccer coach o owen nolan former professional hockey player captain san jose sharks o ted ramey knbr on air personality o kate scott knbr pac 12 networks comcast sports on air personality o danielle slaton us women s national team player world cup and olympics o tommy thompson san jose earthquakes midfielder o tim hanley professional soccer coach o david bingham san jose earthquakes and us national team goalkeeper o billy knutsen former professional goalkeeper o q san jose earthquakes mascot the game was tied at halftime but then team wondo pulled ahead in the second half and team ssusa could not claw their way back successfully as team wondo won 12 9 here are the objective player ratings for the game players rated on 1 to 10 scale with 10 being best it s not the first time these people have been subjected to these journalistic evil ratings so they are used to it chris wondolowski 5 5 he started out in goal and that was a positional mistake as he didn t use his hands in the first several minutes he was good at getting david bingham s shots out of the back of the net his field work in the second half elevated his player rating he and tim hanley waged a serious battle joe cannon 8 0 joe displayed his field skills and stayed away from goalkeeper a common theme you will see here and he was busy filling up the net with his shots from the beginning his great first half was impressive chris dangerfield 9 0 there are two reasons why danger gets the high rating 1 he is the television commentator for the earthquakes games and i d love it if he just said nice things about my son and 2 his absolute bomb to begin the second half a rocket from his own half of the field that tim hanley had no chance on started team wondo on their huge second half run todd dunivant 8 5 todd brought the colorful shoes and the left foot that just scores street soccer goals he was a goal scoring machine on sunday afternoon and quickly learned the ins and outs of street soccer strategy phil ginsburg 9 5 he scored goals he helped provide support from the city to ssusa and he was there in person to show the support of the city and as mentioned he scored jeremy gunn 8 0 an effective game from the stanford coach brought the cerebral dimension to his team on the pitch unlike just about every other player on the field he passed the ball frequently which stood out as unique owen nolan 9 5 man of the match owen nolan quickly fell into a comfort zone of staying on the offensive half of the field and cherry picking the outlet passes to build up an impressive collection of goals even though his profession included knocking around large men on ice skates it was clearly not the first time he ever dribbled a soccer ball ted ramey 7 5 not just a good afternoon from the man with the microphone but also a good week with his on air support for the event during the game he contributed with great insights and context perhaps going a bit too light on his on air partner kate scott 8 5 kate put in a solid shift and covered more ground than all of the former and current goalkeepers combined she played on both sides of the ball a novel approach in the game and passed unselfishly an even more novel approach in the game she was a bit thrown off at half time when she didn t have a microphone chasing one of the players for an interview but she adjusted well danielle slaton 9 0 danielle showcased a magic left foot married to an attitude that realized that the score was being tracked her competitive fire combined with some of the best soccer skills on the pitch to put on a clinic for both teams she also was a bit lost at halftime without a microphone tommy thompson 7 5 tommy mixed in tremendous ball skills and dribbling displays with an impressive array of errant shots that would qualify him to be one of the empire s soldiers in star wars for those watching from the 7 th floor of the st francis i think room 732 would you mind returning the ball that tommy shot at the final buzzer tim hanley 8 0 coach hanley put in a full shift he had joe cannon and david bingham on his team but the line of those who wanted to play goalkeeper did not exist tim got a great view of some good shots as well as equally great views of some not very good shots that went by him but he did win first second and third place in saves of the game those who play goalkeeper in street soccer always live to regret it david bingham 8 5 once david realized that he could shoot the ball at a goal that was being guarded by chris wondolowski it was like he was dropping water balloons from the roof of the school administration building one after another after another i did have a bit of a paternal instinct to go out there and save my son from further embarrassment but that feeling went away pretty quickly billy knutsen 9 0 put simply billy saved his team and gave it the victory he stepped into goal in the second half to relieve wondo who had become exhausted retrieving the ball out of his own net billy made some big saves that helped team wondo get out to their second half lead and preserve it and he was great on distribution q 6 5 the south bay blue mascot had some great moments but dealing some of the san francisco canines specifically one german shepard got the better of him a couple of times high points for showing up next time bring a couple of dog treats though stephen wondolowski dnp stephen didn t get into the game but showed up as a ready reserve in case some of celebrity players were no...
