Jurgen Klinsmann’s Bold Moves Pay off as US Edges Jamaica in Thriller

The only questionable call Jurgen Klinsmann made Friday night was the one that involved his wardrobe. On every other score and in every other way, the patriotic-T-shirt-sporting, national-legend-ignoring, mad German scientist of a national team coach was spot on, right down to his substitutions. And because of it, the United States national team is now in the driver’s seat for World Cup qualification. The... 

Clint Dempsey, Jozy Altidore Score Golazos for USMNT Against Germany (Video)

The scoreline made for quite the headline, and an epic fail of an own goal provided the comedy relief, but Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey both scored goals Sunday against Germany that should not be overlooked.

Neymar’s Move to Barcelona Puts Him in Spotlight for Brazil-England Friendly

When Brazil and England contest a highly anticipated international friendly Sunday at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana Stadium, the match will feature an almost absurd amount of world-famous names from Europe’s best and most respected leagues.

FIFA’s New Anti-Racism Measures Represent Progress but Require Enforcement

That unfamiliar sensation filtering down from FIFA‘s inner sanctum on this otherwise unremarkable Friday? Believe it or not, it’s progress.

USMNT: Don’t Sweat the Jurgen Klinsmann to Everton Rumors, At Least Not Yet

The American soccer blogosphere blew up Monday afternoon over a rumor concerning United States national team manager Jurgen Klinsmann. Granted, it was a shocking rumor that, if true, would produce significant upheaval in the United States national team. But for now, it’s only a rumor—and a longshot at that. And for now, fans of the U.S. national team really shouldn’t sweat it. It... 

David Beckham Open to England Recall, so Should He Get It? (Poll)

David Beckham says he wouldn’t mind playing for England again. Of course, that’s because, as Beckham reminds us, he never actually retired from the national team. So then, should Uncle Roy call on the Spice Boy for one last hurrah? Sure, it’s ridiculous, but with England struggling to qualify for the World Cup, it might not be as crazy as it sounds. Beckham, that instantly recognizable...

USMNT: Costa Rica Appeals Snow Game to FIFA as U.S. Prepares for Mexico

As the United States national soccer team prepares for its fiercest rivalry, another is starting to linger. The U.S. and head coach Jurgen Klinsmann will play Mexico Tuesday night at the Azteca Stadium, in search of the program’s first win there in World Cup qualifying.
