First things first, the US MNT has added another friendly to the November schedule by announcing their stop in Slovakia four days before playing Denmark, which will make for a good pair of measuring stick matches against a couple of fellow World Cup qualifiers on European soil. Both Slavakia and Denmark finished atop their UEFA [...]

That was bizarre. But it ended up being bizarre with a good ending, so whatevs.
With a shocking last second goal from Jonathan Bornstein off a corner, the US came back to draw 2-2 with a time wastey Costa Rica and finish atop the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying group. Atrocious defensive play marred the first [...]

Wow, what a game. For all the stick we’ve given him here, Conor Casey came up shockingly huge and deserves a lot of credit for his performance. Landy again left his mark. And holy crap did we get lucky after Stu Holden’s handball.
More to come on this match later, but we’re in the World [...]

Hey, remember when the US MNT finished second at the Confederations Cup? Me too. And so does Charlie Davies, who is still holding onto that moment as reason to believe in this team once the big dance (screw the NCAA tournament, this is bigger) rolls around in the summer:
“I think we showed we have the [...]

Here’s a cool inside look at Jonathan Spector’s preparation for the USA vs. El Salvador match from US Soccer. Part one was just released today, with a second part to follow.
A few items from the opener:

With just three qualifiers remaining and the difference between automatic qualification and a [...]

Unfortunately, we won’t be doing a live blog for tonight’s game, but! do leave your match thoughts in the comment section and we’ll round them up in the coming days.
Enjoy the game, and don’t think about anything Bob Bradley does too hard (unless you’re already drunk).

Bob Bradley has announced his 24-man roster for the two upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against El Salvador and Trinidad & Tobago. Here it is:
GOALKEEPERS (2): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa: 5/3 SO), Tim Howard (Everton FC: 12/7 SO)
DEFENDERS (8): Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes: 22/3), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA, 2/0), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover: 19/0), Jay DeMerit (Watford: 3/0), [...]

Well, Mexico won 2-1 yesterday and the image above pretty much sums up entire match. Gerardo Torrado strangles Benny Feilhaber right in front of the referee and only gets a yellow card for what amounts to criminal assault.
Yahoo! Sports’ Martin Rogers wrote a brilliant column in the aftermath of that rage-inducing match that really [...]
