Please DO take a few moments to read the NBC article on the positive effects of Pia Sundhage’s tenure as head coach of the USWNT, as well as Andrea Canales’ thoughts on the topic. And with the success at Bejing, it certainly looks like Pia will be around for a long time to come. [...]

Remember when everyone was concerned about the US being unable to win in Europe? Well that didn’t seem to be a problem yesterday. All three goals in the video above: snap header from Bocanegra, thumping header from Onyewu and Eddie Lewis pulling out a left footed Beckham.

Hi, Daryl here. Since Carter’s on vacation, I’m going to step in and post Bob Bradley’s slimline 18-man roster for the game against Poland. It’s Euro-heavy, with only Landon Donovan, Ricardo Clark* and Brian Ching representing MLS, but good to see Corey Gibbs back after a long long absence through injury. Also good to see [...]

Ok folks finally a lot to talk about and I am back.
-Lets kick things off with our younger representatives of the U-17 division who put in a great showing at the Nike Friendly matches in Florida. They lost their last match to Turkey 2-0, but finished with a 2-1-0 record, beating the likes of [...]

It is kind of sad that we look upon these single friendly matches with so much anticipation, but it is the international soccer down season for the United States, so we can’t help it.

I often find myself looking deep into the future to the year of 2010. It is so far yet so close. With qualifying already starting in various regions of the world, the focus of the football world and soccer country will be on the year 2010 in South Africa.
One of the most intriguing [...]

Another US Soccer studio 90: A View From the Sidelines. A good look at day 2 of training in Europe with the US Men’s National Team.
The thing I notice most from this video is how competitive training must be with all of these guys who have never been there before. It’s like the [...]

Hard to compete with those that are actually there, so I must leave it to the pros on this one.
Check out this Europe Camp Day 1 video to hear some of the guys talk about their first day and meeting some new faces.
Looks like a good competitive training environment with allot of young talent.

At least that’s the plan.
Bob Bradley’s current losing streak has put a somewhat unwarranted damper on what I think up to this point has been an impressive tenure. The roster for the Switzerland friendly throws up allot of potential lineup questions with the large amount of youth being brought into the fray. But [...]
