Pro Soccer’s greatest obstacle in the busy American sports calendar is figuring out how not to get lost in the shuffle.

Soccer […]

Such a silly picture for a club that just can't pull their act together, but right now it looks good on them at the moment. This was suppose to be their tournament to save this pathetic season that they are apart of. Eliminated in US Open Cup Qualifying, an early elimination of the MLS playoffs & the […]

With the transfer market in full swing, I wanted to bring our readers up to speed on all the outgoing transfers involving American clubs thus far this window.

Jozy Altidore seems to be handling this Twitter thing a little better than Darren Bent. While Bent tossed his toys out of the pram in 140 characters or less, the teenage American striker calmly tweeted to his followers: England early in the morning so im going to get some sleep ill tweet all day tomorrow […]

What the hell is going on at Portsmouth? Despite Sulaiman Al Fayed passing the fit and proper persons test that the Premier League subjected him to, he's still not completed the takeover at Fratton Park.

Kenny Cooper Sr., a player I watched when growing up in the NASL has always been blunt. Cooper spoke about his son’s recent transfer to Brent Latham, one of the top football correspondents that cover the American game. Here were some of Cooper’s comments from the Yanks Abroad story and my reaction: "The value of […]
