I’ve been writing for World Soccer Talk since May, 2014. As you may know, I mainly handle match previews of US Men's National Team games, but I also write stories about attendances and TV ratings. This past Tuesday, I was afforded the opportunity of being able to go to Nashville to cover the USA-Mexico game […]

In fact, audible groans from inside the Emirates can be heard over televisions all over the world whenever the 23-year-old defender makes even the slightest mistake on the pitch. […]

The World Cup is over and it’s now time for the USMNT to being a new World Cup cycle. It’s been almost a year since they failed to qualify for the 2018 edition in Russia but many of the players and fans are attempting to put all of that in the rearview mirror and focus […]
