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. The United States, thanks to a demoralizing 2-1 loss to Jamaica last month, earned just seven points in their first four matches—drawing them equal with Jamaica and Guatemala for the lead in Group 1. With just two matches to go, the Americans have their destiny... 

United States vs. Jamaica: 5 Things We Learned from Team USA’s 1-0 Win

It wasn’t stylish, it wasn’t pretty and it sure wasn’t over until the final whistle blew, but the United States exacted its revenge Tuesday night, winning 1-0 over Jamaica in a pivotal World Cup qualifying match.

Republic of Ireland vs. Croatia: 5 Key Matchups in Euro 2012 Opener

The boys (in green) are back in town, the boys (in green) are back in toooooowown… After a 24-year absence, the Republic of Ireland is back in the European finals. The last time the Boys In Green danced with Europe’s finest was 1988.  Just to give you an idea for how long ago that really was, in the same summer the Democratic National Convention nominated Michael Dukakis as its nominee,... 

Euro 2012: Player-by-Player Guide to the Republic of Ireland Squad

With The Guardian reporting that Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has selected his 23-man squad for this summer’s Euro 2012, many who watch international soccer regularly looked at the roster and had just one question: “Who’s that again?” Admittedly, the Republic of Ireland has had few players worthy of international renown. A few have slid through... 

US Men’s National Soccer: 10 Reasons for Optimism Leading Up to World Cup 2014

Clint Dempsey, Tim Howard, Landon Donovan, Michael Bradley, Jozy Altidore. These are just some of the reasons for optimism as the United States goes into qualifying for and making some noise at World Cup 2014. A cursory look at the roster for the United States men’s national team reveals that the core of the squad has not only played together for a long time, but that it is consistently performing... 

USMNT Players to Watch in Europa League’s Round of 16

It may not be the Champions League, but the Europa League trophy is the second-most coveted piece of silverware to many European clubs—bringing with it a sizable amount of prestige as well as €3 million to the winner alone, according to UEFA.com. The knockout round—or the round of 16—begins on Thursday afternoon. While there are a number of premier teams still in the... 

Italy vs. USA: Americans More Lucky Than Talented in 1-0 Win

When the United States defeated Italy in Genoa on Wednesday night, it was quickly marked as one of the most significant victories in American history. Heck, even Bleacher Report’s World Football editor Will Tidey tweeted it was on par with victories by the Yanks in the 2002 World Cup and the 1950 “Miracle On Grass” over England. However—and I hate to be a wet blanket—there... 

Would US Soccer Win at Euro 2012 Finals?

With the draw for next summer’s Euro 2012 finals complete, a lot of us in the States had to wonder, “How would our Yanks do against the top competition in Europe?” With a new manager looking to install a new system involving a lot of new players, the sad truth is that the team wouldn’t get very far. But let’s just say, for the sake of fun, that the United States found... 

USMNT: Klinsmann’s Offense Stalls Again, Team Loses 1-0 to Ecuador

I wish this could be the article where I write about Klinsmann finally kick-starting the U.S. soccer program. I wish I could describe the way our new midfielders set up Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore again and again to score against an Ecuador team that is ranked ninth out of 10 South American teams by FIFA. I wish I could write any of that. Instead, Klinsmann and the U.S. soccer team lost...

The first match is Saturday, October 8th against Honduras, which is 53rd in the world.
