Commenter Counterpoint is a new feature that highlights two opposing comments from a previous post and calls upon you (yes, you, still reading this without your pants on) to choose a side and voice your own opinion.
This week, we have the topic of Landon Donovan potentially moving back to Europe, as first mentioned in [...]

Much has been said of late across the inter-web about the tactics and roster selections of USMNT head coach “Boring” Bob Bradley. He has been proverbially ripped to shreds for the past month, even after posting a (so far) unblemished qualifying record. Suggestions have been made from all angles about who or what [...]

Listen up, peoples —
Carter and I have decided that you guys (yes, you, reading this right now without your pants on) need to get more involved around here. As you may have noticed, over the last month or so we’ve been posting more frequently and trying out different things and we would love to [...]

Insomnia. I have it and I’ve spent the past ooooh no-idea-how-long thinking about our WNT and the Olympics and the lessons we are going to take from all of this. Ok, besides the big “Pia gets to keep her job” lesson. Here are some other little tidbits:

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. [...]

If you are a US soccer fan, then you are likely aware of the current turmoil at the LA Galaxy camp. Jonah Freedman probably summarized it best in a recent Sports Illustrated article. And while the team’s sliding record is a definite cause for concern, I bet a lot of this strife stemmed [...]

With the two warm-up games in the books, one thing sticks out more painfully than the rest. The statistic that reads “Goals – USA: 0″.
While some of the weight of that tarydactal sized goose egg can be placed on the lack of quality in the midfield, the forwards are, in fact, the players contracted [...]

The U.S. team had their first of two ING Cup matches in Hong Kong this morning/tonight/tomorrow night? (China time is already messing with my head). Anyway, they played the Ivory Coast at the mostly empty Hong Kong Stadium (seriously — I think there were more people in my bedroom this morning) and ended up with [...]

We’ve got a little over a week before the first kickoff which, oddly enough, happens two days before the actual ceremonies begin. Details… meh. Anyways, I think what we all need is a little Olympic theme music to take us through the next month. A little somethin’ somethin’ to play on “the [...]
