1. I skipped work to watch the Ghana game. I sat in bed and pretended to be ill. ESPN on mute. It’s strange now. This was the first time I invested something into the US nats. I was younger in 2002. Vaguely aware of what was going on. I wince now when I see Frings [...]

It seems like only a month ago (wait – I think it actually was) when our U-20 women won their World Cup down in Chile and various footie fans around the world found themselves a new favorite player. Well, now our U-23s are in camp and beginning preparations for July’s Nordic Cup competition. [...]

File this one under least shocking news announcement I’ve read in a while. Today, US Soccer announced Pia Sundhage signed a 4 year contract to continue as the head coach of the USWNT. Considering the fact that after she accepted the job on in 2007, the team won all five of the tournaments [...]

You must realize first and foremost that this is not a call for Bob Bradley to be fired, although I know many of you are not happy with his performance.

The U-23’s played their second match against the Olympic hosts, resulting in another draw, though this time there was some scoring to be seen. Robbie Rogers, Patrick Ianni, and Charlie Davies accounted for the USA’s trifecta of tallies.
