June 17 2002. Mexico 0 – US 2. That is the last time the US won a game in the World Cup. It is time to do it again. Since that day eight years ago, the US has had a courageous defeat (Germany in 2002), several heroic fight backs (Italy in 2006 and England […]

US soccer fans and players must feel pretty cheated today after referee Koman Coulibaly disallowed a perfectly fine goal by US player Maurice Edu. Watch the video evidence above. So far, all of the analysis of the USA against Slovenia games shows that referee Koman Coulibaly made the wrong decision. That includes Match Of The […]

The most hated man in America today is referee Koman Coulibaly who denied the US a certain goal which would have been the game winner against Slovenia. However, Coulibaly, a referee from Mali, called for a foul. It was one of those phantom decisions that bewildered everyone watching the game and is one of the […]

What an incredible game today at Ellis Park in South Africa between Slovenia and the United States. In a match that was a game of two halves for the United States, the Americans looked so poor in the first half but looked so dangerous in the second half. For the sake of US soccer fans, […]

This is the game that matters the most for the United States. The team needs to send a message to the rest of the world that the 1-1 draw against England wasn't a fluke. Here's a game that has the opportunity to show what the United States men's national team is made of. But can […]

Let's face it. We soccer fans live in a bubble. We eat, live and breathe soccer. So much so, that it's sometimes hard to get a perspective on how popular, or unpopular, the sport is in the United States. I really enjoy speaking with people who aren't rabid soccer fans to hear their perspectives on […]

What if? What if Robert Green had spilled that shot from Clint Dempsey in the World Cup, but then he managed to grab it before it crossed over the line. Watch this video to see what could have happened if things were different. It's a handy piece of revisionism that England fans would much prefer […]

Sunday we reported that ESPN's viewing numbers for the first five games of the tournament were double the number from four years ago. And now there's more good news as the TV ratings and updated audience numbers for Saturday and Sunday's matches add more ammunition to the argument that the 2010 World Cup is taking […]

The World Cup is synonymous with the best in soccer. But it's also synonymous with a global celebration that brings soccer fans together to follow the beautiful game together. Cold beer, World Cup babes and soccer are a perfect combination, so I was fortunate this past weekend to attend the World Cup Party at Wowies […]

If you want to relive the highlights of the USA v England match in the opening game of the 2010 World Cup, check out this incredible video (see above). The video recreates the highlights of the game as played by Lego characters. The attention to detail is unbelievable down to the spectators in the crowd. […]

Weezer may be best known for its hit single "Buddy Holly," but what you may not know is that singer/songwriter Rivers Cuomo is also a massive soccer fan. Not only is he a big soccer fan, but he's also a supporter of the US men's national team. So much so, in fact, that he just […]

The 2010 World Cup clash between USA and England drew the fifth-best rating ever for a World Cup game. In addition to ranking behind the 1994 Romania-U.S. game (9.2), it trails only the 1994 Brazil-Italy final (12.8), the 1994 Brazil-U.S. game (10.4). The 2006 Italy-France final received an 8.6 rating. UPDATED: To put these numbers in […]

It wasn't the prettiest game by either team, but Saturday's clash between England and the United States reached fever pitch levels at sports bars and restaurants across the US and around the world. One such party was held in South Florida at Wowies Sports Grill, the host site for EPL Talk's official World Cup viewing […]

The Sun newspaper is the type of tabloid filth that upsets people both in England and now, thanks to two condescending covers, people in the States. You may remember that back in December, The Sun newspaper ran a headline on its cover which declared "E-A-S-Y" in reaction to the news of the 2010 World Cup […]
