We are still two years out from the Women’s World Cup, but with another dominant year underway for the top-ranked Americans, it isn’t too early to look at who they will potentially send to Canada. Under the new head coach, Tom Sermanni, the USWNT has seen several new faces hit the pitch while the old guard continues to deliver stellar performances of their own. It will be interesting if...

The United States Men’s National Team is in prime position to qualify for the 2014 World Cup, and while in Brazil it will be very important to advance to the knockout stages. Why, you ask? Expectations. Soccer is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. Over the past decade we have seen extraordinary growth. Networks are fighting over rights to overseas leagues, and the MLS has become an...

Tim Howard is one of the best keepers in the world. It would be asinine to suggest that the United States is better off without him. His presence between the posts is missed. Yet in his absence the U.S. can grow in to being a better team. That is the silver lining. With Howard in goal there is an instant sense of security. The defense may still try hard, but they know who is there to save their backsides...

The United States’ U-20 national teams, both men and women, have performed impressively over the past year. The men are coming off a 3-1 loss to Mexico in the CONCACAF U-20 Championships, and the women are the reigning World Cup champions after defeating Germany 1-0 in last year’s final. USMNT’s performance qualified them for the 2013 U-20 World Cup in Turkey. As player turnover happens,...

The United States wes dreadful against Honduras. That is probably putting it lightly. That is how awful they looked in their first match of The Hex. The U.S. is missing a crucial piece of the puzzle, and his name is Landon Donovan. I will be the first to admit when I am wrong. And I was dead wrong. I believed the U.S. could get by without him. Jozy Altidore had been playing better, Clint Dempsey was...

The United States women’s national soccer team kicked off its 2013 campaign on February 9 with a 4-1 victory against Scotland. It was the first game with Tom Sermanni at the helm. The shoes left to fill by Pia Sundhage are large, but the new era looks to be right on track to keep the USWNT at the top of the soccer world. Hope Solo was sidelined with a minor calf strain, giving Jill Loyden...

The United States are set for The Hex. The final stage of World Cup qualifying for CONCACAF nations. The top three teams will automatically qualify for the 2014 World Cup. The Americans should have no problem sneaking in that group, but anything can happen. With a spot waiting to be locked up, and as one of the favorites, the USMNT has more to focus on leading up to 2014. The World Cup is just around...

The U.S. Men’s National Team are ready to kick-off 2013 with a friendly match against Canada on January 29. Jurgen Klinsmann has made his call-ups for the January training camp before the new year of matches gets underway. Not all of the men at the training camp will see action against Canada. Many of the veterans of the USMNT are not there, but will no doubt be called in to action against our...
