The Tampa Bay Mutiny continued its team overhaul when it made a pair of trades June 29. Tampa sent midfielder Josh Keller and a first-round pick in the 1999 College Draft to Chicago for defensive midfielder Jorge Salcedo, and then sent defender Mike Duhaney to the MetroStars for midfielder Paul Dougherty. Salcedo and Dougherty are expected to join the Mutiny today and will be available for the team's July 4 home match against New England. Salcedo, 25, is already well-traveled within MLS. He spent the league's first season with Los Angeles, 1997 with Columbus, and had been with the Chicago …

Forward Mia Hamm logged yet another world-class performance, scoring three goals in a 20-minute span in the second half as the U.S. women's national team defeated Germany, 4-2, in front of 13,107 at Solider Field, a venue for the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup. Coming off a disappointing 1-1 tie with the European champions in St. Louis last Thursday night, a more focused U.S. team started fast, playing with pace and rhythm to keep the pressure on Germany the entire match. The Germans had their share of dangerous scoring opportunities in the end-to-end game, which marked the fourth time a …

I remember the day Steve Sampson stopped making sense as if it were only yesterday. But it was more than a week ago. It started with the World Cup opener. For it, he created a system of play that left out the best midfielder in U.S. history, Tab Ramos, and one of its best defenders ever, Marcelo Balboa. After the game he told us that the U.S. held the ball well, Eric Wynalda was not alone on the frontline, and Roy Wegerle gave a good performance. I thought he might follow that up with, it's hard to find a cafe …
