Biggy: A natural leader, Biggy is a stalwart defender whose style of play mimics that of Ricardo Carvalho (though he’d much rather me say Brede Hangeland), which led to a center back being one of our most consistent scorers. His unfortunate decision to graduate left our team with a large void in the back line, as well as Biggy with no job. Even still, his devotion to the United States Men’s National Team is respectable (while at the same time sickening), as is his obsessive following of his man-crush Clint "Deuce" Dempsey (which is WAY more sickening). Despite his allegiance, Biggy is one of the most understanding and reasonable people to talk to about the National Team, and will be first to admit to their faults. No amount of criticizing will change his belief, and for that I give him credit, and his comprehension and vision in all things relating to the sport is more than commendable. While his national team support is much more concrete than mine, it is his club support that varies, with Fulham leading the pack (since they have Demps and EJ), and a strong amount of support for the following teams (in no particular order): Arsenal, Everton, Hull City, San Jose Earthquakes, Sochaux, Aston Villa, and just about any other team containing one or more Americans. Currently Biggy is unemployed (please, someone, hire him!) after graduating from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in International Business, he also played along side me with the club team, where we all now hope he will return to assistant coach next season. Now he spends his days sleeping in too late, playing online poker, planning next year’s trip to South Africa, and dreaming about Deuce.

Chamo: A relatively gifted goalkeeper who thinks he is a talented forward, Chamo is that steely kid on your team who steps up in big moments. As long as that big moment isn't in FIFA09, where he regularly gets torched. Okay, that's a lie, he is pretty damn good at that game too. He is a gigantic Chelsea fan who probably would make out with Soooooper Frankie Lampard given the chance, and easily one of the most knowledgeable and opinionated soccer fans I know. He owns more Chelsea jerseys than the team does, but follows the EPL religiously and has a sharp soccer mind. His national team allegiances tend to bounce between Northern Ireland, England, Canada and whoever else tends to be playing better then the US at the moment. He also pulls for the always miserable San Jose Earthquakes where we agree that combined we could probably score more often than they do. In his free time he attends Cal Poly San Luis Obispo where he plays for the club soccer team, studies Computer Science, and unsuccessfully attempts to meet girls. He is also a talented World Cup ticket lottery winner and is responsible for the game tickets that we currently have, where he prays that the US does not play any of the games that we are going to watch.

Kenjo: Kenjo is a writer for Constantly Offside who will be providing us content whenever possible. A good friend of both Biggy and Chamo, Kenjo met the Constantly Offside crew through the Club team at Cal Poly. An incredible midfielder, Kenjo will be sorely missed as the Mustangs aim for a national title this year, as he has the unique experience of studying abroad in Iceland.
