Disappointing…to say the least. US Soccer just announced that they will extend Bob Bradley’s contract through the END of 2014. I will admit that Bradley did some good things in the last several years including leading the USMNT to a 38-20-4 record, the Gold Cup (yawn) and the Confederations Cup final. Two things bother me; [...]

After winning the Milk Cup and ramping up to the U-20 World Cup next year in Colombia, I have high hopes for the young soccer talent in the US and have been reading anything I can get my hands on. This week I can across an article on Sports Illustrated called “U.S. Under-20 team makes strides“. Overall [...]

In addition to being a soccer fan, I’m also a designer with occasionally overwhelming tendencies to embark on projects with little or no reward. Edson Buddle’s t-shirt contest was practically custom-built to take advantage of my shortcomings! To coincide with the upcoming launch of his online merch store, Edson is holding a t-shirt design contest. [...]

Months ago, around the time the World Cup lottery was drawn, US Soccer publicly set one clear goal: Get out of the group stage. Surviving the group stage was a fair measure for the players, the program and the coach, and after all, the USA was improving incrementally over 2006 and their group seemed winnable. [...]

It won’t be our most famous game. It wasn’t an amazing display of skill. It wasn’t even enough to get the USA out of the group stage… but something about our 2-2 draw with Slovenia was special. After (and in spite of) a typically lackluster first half, the American team battled back for three goals [...]

To kick off one of the most anticipated games of the World Cup (and that’s a fact), FIFA has decided to put a referee in change that was suspended in his own country for corruption and incompetence. FIFA has allowed Brazilian Carlos Simon the chance to ref the England v United States game in the [...]

US Soccer coach Bob Bradley named the 23-man roster that will be going to the World Cup in South Africa. The biggest surprise to most was striker Brian Ching not being included in the squad, and striker Robbie Findley making the team. Other than that the squad was as expected. While I am not surprised [...]

Oguchi Onyewu has offered AC Milan to play an additional year without pay to make up for being out injured most of the 2009-2010 season. The one year extension will extend Onyewu’s contract to June of 2013. A club statement read: “Onyewu, who has been out for virtually the whole season due to injury, but who at this time is [...]

The bigger story that swarmed the internet this afternoon was not the players who made the preliminary 30-man roster, but the fact that Charlie Davies was not included. Tweets from both Davies (@CharlieDavies9) and Altidore (@JozyAltidore17) expressed disappointment and support. There was less shock but still disappointment that Freddy Adu did not get a chance [...]

Toeball Tyler’s Prediction Currently the European members have not looked so great on the field. Between the injuries and head butting opponents, this was not the best build to a World Cup. Goalkeepers (4) – One of the strongest postions produced by the Americans will see plenty of depth: Tim Howard (obvious) Brad Guzan (obvious) Marcus [...]
