VIDEO: Trinidad and Tobago and Mexico Combine for a 4-4 Gold Cup Thriller

It took us a while to find an entertaining game in the CONCACAF Gold Cup but we found one as we were rounding out the Group Stage. Trinidad and Tobago and Mexico combined for eight goals including multiple lead changes in the final minutes to end one of the best Gold Cup games ever. While […]

Why is the Canadian Men’s National Team so bad?

Watching the Gold Cup group stages so far, there have been some excellent games and some truly bad ones. The common denominator for bad games has been one team: the Canadian men’s national team. Canada had won their previous four matches coming into the Gold Cup, so their dreadful performance thus far comes as a […]

Has Honduras’ window for CONCACAF greatness passed already?

My how the mighty have fallen. Honduras, once a favorite to advance alongside the United States in Group A of the 2015 Gold Cup are now sitting home after a 1-0 defeat at the hands of upstart Haiti. While the Haitian’s rise is a great story, the failure of Honduras is equally as puzzling. After […]

VIDEO: Haiti make Honduras pay for bad goalkeeping

Haiti and Honduras came in to their CONCACAF Gold Cup Group A finale knowing a win puts them in great position to advance out of the group. The Haitian side continued to show the attack it has all tournament long in the early stages of its match with Honduras. Not a side to go all-out […]

VIDEO: Rodolph Austin Nabs Late Winner For Jamaica

Rodolph Austin was the hero for Jamaica in their game against Canada in the Gold Cup, scoring the winner in the 92nd minute of the match. The match was scoreless up until the Jamaican captain scored the goal for his squad securing the 1-0 win. The match was a drab affair between both squads as Jamaica looked […]

It’s Time for Klinsmann to Stop Experimenting with USMNT Back Line

Three points and advance — that was the task at hand for the United States men’s national team on Friday night against CONCACAF minnow Haiti. With a 1-0 win over the Haitians, the USMNT took all three points and claimed the top spot in Group A. Mission Accomplished. But, just because the result was positive […]

VIDEO: Panama Scores on Training Ground Free Kick Play in Gold Cup

We have seen teams try trick Free Kicks learned on the training ground before in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Costa Rica scored a goal like this Wednesday. Tonight, it was Panama’s turn as Gabriel Gomez passed the ball to Armando Cooper on the other side of the box. While open, Cooper took his shot which deflected […]

Jamacian Players strike ahead of Gold Cup opener

While some are talking about the disparity between the United States’ men’s and women’s national teams, there is another harsh reality in international soccer. That reality is, not every national team is in the position the top teams are in financially and it can often times get ugly. Such is the case for the Jamaican […]

What to Make of the USMNT After Their First Gold Cup Game

I watched the USMNT play Honduras play last night in the first game of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and I was admittedly a bit confused in terms of how to rate this team. Yes, they won 2-1 but it was a very sloppy game that was helped by the inconsistent referee in charge of […]

USMNT’s Best Starting XI for Gold Cup Group Stage

The United States men’s national team gets its turn to take center stage on the heels of American’s getting swept up in the Women’s national team taking home the World Cup title.
