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.

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 [...]

What? It’s not as if my absence from posting caused me to miss commenting on anything important in American soccer. Actually, I have been taking care of a newborn (human) baby (mine) and have truthfully barely had time to watch the games, much less comment on them. So in the interest of summary, I give [...]

The following is a short list of items that are NOT something: -Clint Dempsey’s moves -Sacha Kljestan, DaMarcus Beasley, Brian Ching on the field -Adu, Torres on the bench -flubbing shots from the six -hitting the crossbar -playing long ball to Jozy Altidore more than once per game -marking respectable opponents from 20 feet away [...]

American keepers have been successful at the highest levels of English football. Everton’s Tim Howard (who started his English footballing career at Manchester United) might be one of the best. Howard has been instrumental in leading Everton to the 2009 FA Cup Final against Chelsea. The final will be played May 30th at Wembley, and [...]

Jozy Altidore (in this dated photo, I am too lazy to upload a new one) has undergone surgery to remove an ingrown toenail. There has not been an official announcement on the amount of time he will miss but the assumption is roughly four weeks. The US National team does not play again till June [...]
