USMNT Watch: Bradley Makes Swansea Debut, Chandler Impresses Against Bayern

The majority of the American attention in foreign leagues over the last week was focused on Swansea City as Bob Bradley prepared for his first game as a manager in the Premier League.  While everyone was busy watching the Swans on Saturday morning, a few American players fighting for spots on the United States men’s national team roster impressed across Europe.  One player in particular, Timothy Chandler, may not be the most popular in the eyes of the American public, but he may be what the Yanks need against Mexico if he keeps up his form.  Continue reading below for news... 

Scott McGarvey ‘Devastated’ over Sam Allardyce’s England Exit, Corruption Sting

Football agent Scott McGarvey has admitted to being “devastated” over the part he played in Sam Allardyce losing his job as England manager following just a single game in charge. Allardyce left the top job with the Three Lions in September after being caught up in a Telegraph sting in which he was recorded allegedly offering advice about how to circumvent FA transfer rules. It was McGarvey, a former Manchester United player, who introduced Allardyce to the undercover reporters, believing them to be representatives of a Far East firm looking to invest in... 

Theo Walcott Criticised by Chris Sutton After Slovenia vs. England Performance

Interim England manager Gareth Southgate should drop Theo Walcott for the Three Lions’ next match after he endured a “completely ineffective” night against Slovenia on Tuesday, according to former Chelsea and Celtic striker Chris Sutton.  Southgate’s side escaped with a 0-0 draw from their 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and were heavily indebted to goalkeeper Joe Hart for their point. The England attack looked remarkably flat, and Walcott—who has been impressive for Arsenal so far this season—was particularly poor on the right flank... 

Gareth Southgate Comments on England ‘Mess’ After Replacing Sam Allardyce

Interim England manager Gareth Southgate admitted that he has “taken over a mess” after the Three Lions could manage only a 0-0 draw with Slovenia in Tuesday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying clash in Ljubljana.   Southgate was installed to take charge of four matches as the search continues for a successor to Sam Allardyce after the former Sunderland boss left the England post by mutual consent at the end of last month, per Dominic Fifield in the Guardian. Having overseen a 2-0 home defeat of Malta on Saturday, the 46-year-old’s second match at the England... 

England Needs to Remember How to Love International Football

A visitor from another galaxy could be easily forgiven for thinking that football in its usual form shuts down entirely during the season’s intermittent international windows. It is replaced by some abridged, mutant version of the game so abrasive to our senses that it soils the very memories of the other 35 or so weeks of the year. This would at least go some way towards explaining the waves of exhaustion and apathy that blow in off of Twitter feeds whenever club football is put on hold for sometimes as much as 13 whole days to dally in a variant of the game that outdates even the 128... 

Julian Green Continues to Make Case to Start the Hex on USMNT Roster

Few concrete conclusions can be made after the United States men’s national team’s pair of friendlies against Cuba and New Zealand, but the one we can make may turn out to be significant in a month’s time.  Julian Green reappeared from his national-team exile with two impressive showings over the last week for Jurgen Klinsmann‘s side.  Despite a lack of playing time at club level with Bayern Munich and the growing depth at forward for the USMNT, Green appears to be on track to make the 23-man roster for the Hexagonal round opener against Mexico on November 11 in... 

Netherlands’ Amsterdam Nightmare Continues as France Show Deep Gulf in Class

AMSTERDAM ARENA, Netherlands — Sometimes a change of scenery can make all the difference. It worked for Turkey, decamping to Konya from Istanbul midway through their Euro 2016 qualification campaign and plotting an improbable course towards France. Last week, the Netherlands—the nation left (eventually vainly) clawing for scraps with Fatih Terim’s team in Group A behind Czech Republic and Iceland—took a leaf out of that particular book, seeing off the challenge of Belarus at Eredivisie leaders Feyenoord’s perpetually bouncing De Kuip home. That win, topped off... 

USA vs. New Zealand: Date, Time, TV Info and Live Stream for Friendly

The United States men’s national team welcome New Zealand to the RFK Stadium in the capital city on Tuesday night, as the Stars and Stripes prepare for 2018 World Cup qualification. It is only the third occasion America has met the five-time Oceania Football Association champions, with the U.S. readying themselves for upcoming Hexagonal action. Manager Jurgen Klinsmann will have the opportunity to experiment in the game against the Kiwis and might ring the changes as he bloods young talent, including expectant debutant Lynden Gooch. Here is how you can watch the friendly encounter:   Date:... 

Panama vs. Mexico: Date, Time, TV Info and Live Stream for Friendly

Mexico’s preparation for November’s FIFA World Cup qualifiers continues on Tuesday as they take on Panama in a friendly at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois.  El Tri‘s first match in the Hexagonal—the final round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia—is against the United States, before they face Panama again. Tuesday’s clash will be vital for both teams as they look to establish their best possible outfit before their crucial matches next month. Read on for a preview of the game, along with key scheduling, television and live streaming... 

Wayne Rooney Comments After Being Dropped from England Squad

England captain Wayne Rooney admitted he’s going through “a difficult period” on Monday after learning he would be dropped to the bench for Tuesday’s 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Slovenia. Caretaker manager Gareth Southgate made the decision to drop his armband wearer after a lull in form this season, although Rooney added he’s ready to make any impact he can, per BBC Sport: My game now? Of course, I’m not denying it is in a difficult period. I’ve been on the bench the last few games for Manchester United but that’s part of football. I have...
