USA Does Its Job, Gets 1-0 Victory Over Japan
The United States of America got off to a great start at the Beijing Olympics, getting a great opening result in a 1-0 win over Japan. Stuart Holden scored for the US, who needed this win badly before playing the other 2 teams in its group, Nigeria and the Netherlands. Lets take a look at…
Sunil Gulati’s Tragedy or Triumph?
If you’re a US soccer fan, I’m going to ask that you take yourself back to a dark time in our nation’s soccer history. Don’t worry, I feel your pain. On June 22nd, 2006, Ghana ended any US hope of advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. While many US fans point to a…
The Beckham Impact So Far
Quick. Name a soccer player. David Beckham’s name is generally the first name that comes to mind to the average American followed by Ronaldinho in most cases. Sometimes Pele will be named, but for the most part, its Beckham. Becks has been playing with the LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer for almost a year…
US Soccer 2008…2004 All Over Again?
The parallels surrounding the United States Men’s National team are striking when you compare them to the same group in 2004. As qualifying began, the US was ranked very highly in the FIFA World rankings, as high as fourth(!) in 2006, a few months before the World Cup. As qualifying begins this year, US Soccer…
Liverpool FC to play MLS All-Stars?
Originally published on 19 December 2007. According to The Daily Mail, Major League Soccer has approached Liverpool FC in an attempt to get the English giants to play against the MLS All-Stars next summer. The report also proposes the idea of Liverpool playing Italian giants Juventus in Montreal to gauge the interest in Canada. As…
Mourinho In The USA?
Before anyone condemns this article, I’m not trying to say that USA National Team Coach Bob Bradley is doing a bad job. That’s not what this is about. This is about an opportunity. If US Soccer really wants to become a world power, then it needs to finally do what every other major national team…
Does Carragher think that Chelsea are better than Liverpool?
With the start of the new EPL season just around the corner, people are beginning to speculate on which teams will move up and down, who will be relegated, and who the team to beat is. These discussions occur everywhere, starting with the game’s biggest pundits, all the way down to the pubs around the…
Perhaps Not Enough International Football
FCBNews blogger Nig recently posted an article stating that he thinks there should be less international play, because it affects many clubs in Europe and it generally isn’t the same quality of play that you would see in a game between EPL heavyweights Manchester United and Liverpool, or La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona….
USA U-20 Flying High
Still down in the dumps after the USA debacle at Copa America? Forget about it. Instead, check out our u-20 team playing in the FIFA 2007 u-20 World Cup in Canada this year. If you’re looking for heart, passion, and skills, then this is the place you need to be. And all of these traits…
USA: Striker Wanted
Another day, it happens the same way. Team USA was handed its second loss of Copa America last night, this time at the hands of Paraguay. It’s almost comical to watch at this point. The US clearly had more opportunities to win this game, and yet time and time again, these chances were flubbed by…
