The marathon summer of Men’s US Soccer is now pretty much closed, save for the U-17’s, if you want to count them. The boys and men of the program have gone through a handful of friendlies and three tournaments. The main objective of winning the Gold Cup was accomplished and props are always [...]

I have a feeling we will have a new one of these things every few days or weeks until Adu finally makes his move across the Atlantic.
Yesterday we heard Celtic was lining up their bid, and today we get word that Parma may be formulating one as well.
It seems that Parma have interest, but may [...]

…for I am in a soccer dream.
If you have yet to realize, let me bring something to your attention. Right now, as I write, we are in one of the most monumental times in American soccer history. Take a second to soak that in. I’ll get to all of the parts that [...]

The U-20 Americans now have the prime focus of not only the soccer population here in the states, but also anyone around the world watching the tournament. This is quite a long build up to a game, and you can only hope that the pressure is not starting to creep in. But why [...]

That’s really all that needs to be said to garner attention. I don’t care if we are talking a U-10 American girl’s rec. side beating one from Brazil; that is still impressive. But we are talking the U-20 World Cup here, a tremendous achievement.
First and foremost I must say that in level of [...]

Copa America is done, with nothing to show for it.
Really nothing. Charlie Davies sorta kinda impressed me for a bit tonight, but I just haven’t seen enough. No young guys really stepped up. That is most dissapointing. No one even really impressed at this “tryout” of ours. Only two [...]

That is one way to rid yourself of the bad taste of Copa America…watch the best US Soccer prospect and his boys run up a 6-1 win against Poland, while possibly setting themselves up for a fat pay day in Europe.
On BigSoccer, this was proclaimed as “The biggest game of Freddy Adu’s career”, and that [...]

They needed a point, they were handed three, and they went home with zero.
Tonight’s game was one of the most despicable displays of finishing by a national team of men who get paid for playing this game that I have ever witnessed. I am personally embarrassed to be a part of the same soccer [...]

Yesterday the U-20 World Cup run for the young yanks got off to a very unassuming start. The red white and blue started fast off of a beautiful cross and head from Danny Szetela (Everton and now I am hearing Galatasary hopeful). Too soon after, the Koreans equalized as Chris Seitz was left [...]

Not really much to say here.
The early penalty and lead was fools gold and it is hard to expect a far less than “A” United States team to hang with Argentina for a full 90. That said, I am proud of the guys for how long they hung in there, but the last 30 [...]
