The USA was drawn into Group C for next summer’s World Cup Finals in South Africa and will face England in the first round game on Saturday, June 12th. This will no doubt be a huge test for Bob Bradley’s squad but with all of England’s history and potential, they are the one team in [...]
In the shadow of the final World Cup Qualifying game for the USA, forward Charlie Davies was injured in an auto accident that fatally injured one person and left Davies recovering in the hospital earlier this week on Tuesday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Charlie and we wish you a speedy [...]
In the best game you never saw, the USA beats Honduras in the penultimate game of their World Cup qualifying campaign! Conor Casey with the double and man-of-the-match Landon Donovan contributing one of his own. The US went behind first (again) but battled back admirably to get the next 3 goals. Honduras [...]
Leading up to this game, the US players were saying all the right things. This was a big game in the CONCACAF Hexagonal because the standings are so very close. Only 1 point separated the teams from 1st to 4th places (they need to be in the top 3 to automatically qualify). So [...]
The final of the 2009 US Open Cup was intense. Defending champions, DC United, hosted new boys Seattle Sounders in the penultimate game of the oldest cup competition in the USA.

The US Men’s team had a tough game in a tough venue tonight. They played in San Salvador in front of 50,000 rabid Salvadorians who made the atmosphere electric. The USA plays with a target on their back in CONCACAF and away games are always a hostile environment for our boys.
All the pregame talk was [...]
The US had a WCQ tonight and, due to their domination earlier in the round, Bob Bradley played the kids. The USMNT have already won their group and are through to the next round, so tonight’s game was really about our future. And I liked to starting lineup Bradley put on the field because it’s [...]
If you missed the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying match between the USA and Guatemala tonight, you missed an all out war. Think I’m exaggerating? Watch the highlights on YouTube and then think again.
The Guatemalans used all sorts of dirty tactics tonight; the first I think was only turning on half the lights in Estadio [...]
I have to say that I’m absolutely gutted as I write this blog post. I had such high hopes for this Olympic team and now the fact that they’re out of the tournament is really disappointing.
The end result is bad enough but the manner in which it happened only makes it worse. We [...]
