This was undoubtedly one of the greatest games, men or women, I have ever watched. The United States, with the ref against them, but the entire crowd in Dresden, Germany on their side, avenged a 2007 semifinal loss against Brazil to win the quarterfinal 5-3 in a penalty shootout and advance to Wednesday’s semifinal. The U.S. got off to a great start, with Shannon Boxx’s cross to Abby Wambach...

It has been six days since the Mexican annihilation of the United States at the Rose Bowl in the Gold Cup Final. Up 2-0 25 minutes in, the United States were unable to protect their lead, again, and fell to a Mexico team that outclassed them for the last 65 minutes. You can argue that Mexico is faster and has more talent, but any American who has been closely watching the United States for a while...

It is more apparent now than it ever has been. Bob Bradley must be sacked as manager of the United States. Enough is enough. Bradley seems content to let the United States be second best while the likes of rivals Mexico and other CONCACAF teams get stronger. Right now, Americans should be asking themselves a very worrying question: Will we even qualify for the 2014 World Cup? Qualifying for the Americans...

Tonight is the night we have been waiting for since August 12, 2009. The United States and Mexico will finally take to the soccer pitch together once again, this time in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Final. While Mexico have dominated their way to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, with their only real blip being the extra time it took to beat Honduras, the United States have sort of limped in. They have been the...

The United States lost to 2010 World Cup champions Spain 4-0 on Sunday afternoon on a beautiful day at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. While this may seem overwhelming, people are very quick to miss two very important notes that need to be taken into consideration. First of all, this was a friendly. Its not like this was the FIFA Confederations Cup Semifinals. Secondly, it was a warm-up game...

It’s been a year and a half since the day Charlie Davies’ career, and his life, almost came to a sudden halt. The start of 2009 had turned Davies into a superstar in the United States. In the midst of a great season at Hammarby in Sweden, Davies left to join up with the National Team to compete in the FIFA Confederations Cup, where his goal against Egypt opened the scoring in the final...

In 2009, the United States recorded arguably the greatest win in the history of American soccer. On June 24th, after beating Egypt 3-0 days before (when they needed at least three goals) to advance out of their group, the little known Yanks came out of nowhere to shock Spain, the world’s top team, in the FIFA Confederations Cup Semifinals. The 2-0 win, with goals from Jozy Altidore and Clint...
