Although the United States men’s national team are still viewed as minnows on the world stage by most football fans, they do have many World Cup moments and goals of which they can be proud. This summer, the USMNT will head to Brazil for their seventh straight World Cup and, in celebration of that, here are the team’s 16 greatest World Cup goals.

Can USMNT’s Performance in World Cup Deliver a Verdict on Quality of MLS?

Over the past two years, with so many key components to the United States men’s national team choosing to either stay in Major League Soccer or make a return to the league after stints in Europe, the league’s importance to the national team has never been higher. In addition to Landon Donovan, who has been in the league since he was a teenager, Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley have returned,... 

Americans Abroad Wrap: Juan Agudelo Scores a Goal and Picks Up an Assist

It was another big week for Americans playing abroad, with Juan Agudelo’s goal and assist being the highlights. Tim Ream and John Anthony Brooks were also awarded this week for their outstanding play, while a number of Americans were involved in relegation and promotion drama on the final day of the season in the English Championship. Finally, Tim Howard had a rough day for Everton as the Toffees’... 

5 Players Jurgen Klinsmann Will Mistakenly Leave off USMNT Roster

Much time has been spent over the past few months speculating over who United States men’s national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann will name to his 23-man World Cup roster. On the other hand, not nearly enough attention has been paid to the players that likely aren’t even under consideration for a roster spot, but who could actually help the team in Brazil. Here are five players Jurgen... 

Why Chris Wondolowski Shouldn’t Be the Odd Man Out for Team USA

When United States men’s national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann whittles down the U.S. player pool to his final 23-man roster for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, one player who shouldn’t be left off the list is forward Chris Wondolowski. But surprisingly, for a man who led Major League Soccer in scoring in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Wondolowski is far from a guarantee to make the team. And there... 

5 Reasons Why Julian Green Should Make USA World Cup Squad

When United States men’s national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann names his 23-man roster for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, one of the names he needs to give serious consideration to is Julian Green. That might be surprising, considering that Green has only one international cap and little first-team club experience, but there are a number of reasons that he’d be a good choice. Here are... 

Rating MLS Players’ Chances of Making USMNT World Cup Squad

In just three weeks, United States men’s national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann will name a provisional World Cup roster which will be full of Major League Soccer stars. Since the return of Clint Dempsey and Michael Bradley, among others, to MLS, the league’s players are more important than ever to the U.S. squad.

Americans Abroad Wrap: Terrence Boyd and John Anthony Brooks Score

It was a big week for Americans playing abroad, capped by a number of outstanding performances by the German-Americans, including two goals from Terrence Boyd and one from John Anthony Brooks. Jermaine Jones was also in the news because of a new tattoo, Timmy Chandler made his long-awaited return from injury and Joe Gyau made his Bundesliga debut.

How Important Is Jozy Altidore to USMNT World Cup Hopes?

Eleven months ago, Jozy Altidore was finishing a record setting 31-goal season in Europe and capped that off over the summer with a goal against Germany, tallies in three straight World Cup qualifiers and a hat-trick against Bosnia-Herzegovina. Flash forward to today and Altidore is coming off a disastrous season in Europe, scoring just twice in the 2013-14 campaign for Sunderland in 36 appearances... 

Why Kyle Beckerman Deserves a Spot in the USMNT World Cup Squad

I’ll admit it—I’ve never been a big fan of Kyle Beckerman. I couldn’t understand why he got national team call-ups, let alone playing time, and when he did get on the field his performances were always underwhelming.
