Wednesday marks the final round of qualifying for the African Nations Cup. It will now take place in Equatorial Guinea between 17 January to 8 February next year as Morocco were officially removed as hosts due to their reluctance of hosting the tournament due to fear of the ebola epidemic. Six places are still up […]

Tomorrow night (or evening for those on the West Coast) the United States January camp team will take the pitch against Chile in a friendly where both sides are lacking all of their biggest stars. Chile is a good South American squad, normally second-tier behind countries like Brazil and Argentina, but with their former coach […]

In the wake of Thursday's loss to Qatar in maybe the only place U.S. soccer can lose to them (the FIFA boardroom), many American soccer fans tried to rally their spirits by immediately turning their focus to the 2026 World Cup process. An initial glance at the state of play right now for the World […]

Today, the US returns to the country where four months ago they experienced greatness and disappointment, and are once again being led there by Bob Bradley. This time the stakes are much lower, as the team is playing a midweek friendly with their B- or C-team. On its face, this match should only merit passing […]

One week from today, the US Men's National Team will play South Africa in a friendly in Cape Town, and Bob Bradley has yet to release his squad for the match. The friendly comes at a bad time for most players – it is right in the middle of the major European leagues' seasons plus […]

A couple months before the World Cup, ESPN released a series of 4 TV ads in their "One Game Changes Everything" campaign. If you don't remember the ads, there was "Robben Island", "United", "Power of 10" and "Passion", and they came out in that order separated by about two weeks. The ads really added to the hype […]

So the World Cup is now a week old, every team has played at least once. It is now becoming clear whether your team was a sound bet or as dodgy as a Northern Rock balance sheet. There have already been a few surprises, and those following a minnow may have had a nice surprise. Also […]

Finally. It. Is. Here. The 2010 World Cup kicks off today with the first match up between South Africa and Mexico. I'm picking South Africa and Mexico to draw in this one. Mexico should win, but buoyed by the incredible support of the South African nation, I think the South Africans will rise to the […]

Going into this World Cup many people are expecting big things from the England squad, and why not? All play in what’s considered the best league in the world, they have one of the top three strikers in the world in Wayne Rooney, a top 5 defender in John Terry, and manager Fabio Capello […]

This Saturday marks the last tune up match the United States have before they take the field June 12 against England in their World Cup opener.
