For the second straight game of the ING Cup, the USA failed to win.

A Magical Night Ends in a Draw

June 10th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | 1 Comment »

Sunday’s friendly against Argentina had all the ingredients needed. A full house, national pride, first choice squads, and a hunger to win on both sides. Sadly, there was no winner, but I could make a case for the USA to be the winner in the long run here.
I’m not much for moral victories, [...]

Argentina-Eve

Ok sorry for the lack of post-game coverage on Spain folks. Needless to say, it was a pretty good performance, and as you can tell by the amout of coverage on Freddy, he did it. He should be in line for starts from here on out, including Sunday.
Heavy pre-game coverage will come tommorow, [...]

Spain Pre-Match Briefing

June 3rd, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | 4 Comments »

Tommorow the USMNT will be facing a whole different animal in Spain.
The shape, ball movment, and attack will be total 180 from what the three lions showed in the new Wembley.
What is good for the viewer is that the game itself will look nothing like the England encounter, what is worse may be the score [...]

Ugh, 2-0 to the Motherland

May 29th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | 4 Comments »

That match was blah, in every sense of the fricken’ word.
Not many positives to take from this match for the Yanks. There were a few periods of extended possession, but for the most part, England thoroughly dominated the USA in ever facet of the game. The quality on the field for the USA [...]

A Revolution

May 28th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | 3 Comments »

USA vs. England
It is a clash of titan nations that goes much deeper than simply soccer.
Conjuring up imagery of George Washington and his men crossing the Delaware during the revolutionary war, this fixture represents everything that we behold to be American, in a day and age where not much else is anymore. Since the [...]

If Donovan is Out, Where is Bradley to Turn?

May 27th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | 3 Comments »

With the news tonight that Landon Donovan is a question mark for tomorrow’s fixture against England at the new Wembley due to tightness in his groin; Bob Bradley has some serious decisions to make.
Landon’s absence could possibly leave an enormous hole in the staring XI, and even force Papa Bradley to make a formation change. [...]

Donovan a Question Mark for Wembley Showdown

May 27th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | No Comments »

Well that was the most logical progression of events.
Just as the post goes up, praising Landy for just about notching his 100th cap, this goes up on the official blog.
Donovan’s got a little groin tightness from the KC match over the weekend. Treatment and re-evaluation in the morning.
Somewhat of a disaster for [...]

100 on the Way

May 27th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | No Comments »

I guess now is as good a time as any will be…
Tomorrow, barring any disaster during today’s training (and I have yet to here of any), Landon Donovan will receive his 100th cap at the new Wembley against the English national team.
100 caps.
26 years old.
Those two numbers referring to the same person are truly something [...]
