Landon Donovan is going to the World Cup. Don’t worry—I didn’t somehow get the Gold Cup mixed up with World Cup qualifying. I know he’s not actually going to the World Cup yet. But Donovan’s performance in the CONCACAF tournament, which culminated in a terrific all-around performance in the Americans’ 1-0 final win over Panama on Sunday in Chicago,...

The 2013 season may prove to be his best year, and his three-stroke victory in the RBC Canadian Open was indicative of his consistency and ability to come through with big shots when his competitors feel the pressure.

The 2013 RBC Canadian Open offers a nice little respite after the grueling pressure-packed British Open. How nice? Well, conditions at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ontario were so benign on Saturday that one player shot a 29 on the front nine while flirting with the course record and another tied him with the day’s best score of 63. On the day, 36 players shot in the 60s. By Sunday, three of America’s...

Just 42 seconds after being inserted into the game, Shea tapped in an Alejandro Bedoya cross to give the United States their much needed breakthrough as they defeated Panama by a score of 1-0.

No...

While Stuart Holden’s injury will no doubt be the talking point, the United States will still have to push through in its effort to secure Gold Cup glory, as it is knotted at 0-0 with Panama at halftime. The loss of Holden will definitely change the way the Americans play, as the oft-injured midfielder has been a major bright spot for the Stars and Stripes all tournament. Mix Diskerud will be...
