USMNT: Was Jozy Altidore Snub Right Call for World Cup Qualifiers? (Poll)

The United States roster was unveiled Monday ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers against Antigua and Barbuda and Guatemala. Striker Jozy Altidore was not part of the team (via USSoccer.com).

Why Roger Federer’s Entry in Shanghai Rolex Masters Proves Desire to Keep No. 1

The Shanghai Rolex Masters has just gotten underway and the field certainly has much depth to it. Luckily for Roger Federer, the first seed, he won’t face a Top 10 opponent until the quarterfinals. He should definitely make it as far as the semifinals, wherein he could face Andy Murray. The only thing that could hold him back would be a recent death threat in Shanghai that has the No. 1 player... 

United States vs. Antigua and Barbuda: Individual Battles That Will Decide Match

It’s the last pair of matches in the third round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying, and it’s as down to the wire as it can get.

Jozy Altidore: Breaking Down Why Young American Should Have Made USMNT Roster

Newsflash, Jurgen Klinsmann: Beggars can’t be choosers.  It’s no secret that the United States Men’s National Team has struggled to find a consistent scoring threat in front of stars Clint Dempsey and Landon Donovan over the past few years, and because of that, there’s no excuse for leaving the Eredivisie‘s top scorer off the roster. Yes, that would be none other... 

World Cup Qualifying: 7 Matches to Watch on Friday

On Friday, qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup continues in five of the six confederations around the world. The only confederation that will not participate this week in qualifying is Africa, as those nations prepare for the 2013 African Cup of Nations.

Jozy Altidore Snubbed as Coach Jurgen Klinsmann Names USMNT Roster

Jozy Altidore‘s sublime form of the past two months wasn’t enough to convince Jurgen Klinsmann. The expectations surrounding the young American have been sky high ever since he made his United States Men’s National Team debut in 2007 as a mere 18-year-old, but because of those impossible expectations, he’s mostly been seen as a disappointment. That disappointment has only increased...
