NATS FACE BRAZIL SUNDAY FOR CONFEDERATIONS CUP TITLE!
In a stunning upset, the U.S. Men's National Team shut out No. 1 FIFA ranked Spain 2 - 0 in the semi-finals of the FIFA Confederations Cup on Wednesday in South Africa. The U.S. win sets up a re-match with pool peer Brazil on Sunday. Prior to Wednesday's loss, Spain hadn't lost since 2006 and had a 35 game win streak broken.
Striker Alumni Benny Feilhaber ('03) set up the second goal on a sweet thru ball to Landon Donovan who promptly served up a nice cross to Clint Dempsey to finish. Jonathan Bornstein ('02) subbed on late in the second half to help preserve the shutout.
As an organization, the Irvine Strikers are proud to have had a hand in both of these player's development and have no shame in making the claim that no other club nationally, and certainly not locally, have two former players playing in this event.
GO USA!

LA GALAXY CLINIC "OUT OF THIS WORLD"!Jun 25 2009 - JAS
One of the best clinics I've attended and I've been to quite a few of them" remarked a participant at Tuesday night's LA Galaxy "Train with the Pros Event" at Concordia University.
The special quests in attendance - LA Galaxy teammates, Gregg Berhalter, Chris Klein, Todd Dunivant and Mike McGee - spent nearly an hour demonstrating their exceptional individual skills in passing, shooting and ball control, while our own ISC Coaches gave their instructional pointers on technique to the nearly 100 players and bystanders. There was no shortage of fun howefer as several ISC players challenged the "Pros" in various games and ball skills. One of the more entertaining sessions was watching our goalkeepers go up against the Pros taking individual strikes on goal from 25 meters. The fun event closed with the LA Galaxy players graciously giving autographs and posing for photo opportunities.
A special thanks to Gregg, Chris, Todd and Mike, as well as to all of the ISC coaches and volunteers that made this event a memorable one for our players and friends alike!

Approximately 30 graduating seniors were feted Sunday evening at a banquet hosted by Coach Ebert at Dave and Busters. An impressive player slideshow served as a backdrop for Ebert to acknowledge each player's contributions to their respective teams over their tenure with the Strikers. The highlight of the evening was Coach Ryan Hopkins "summarizing" his thoughts on his outgoing charges after making the trip south from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Plenty of memories...no shortage of tears!
Thanks to Doug Samis and his committee of volunteers for putting together a wonderful evening for the kids! Good luck and Godspeed!
We'll miss you all!
