It’s been a while since someone publicly criticized FIFA’s decision to move the 2022 World Cup to winter instead of summer, a huge corruption scandal can kind of put that on the back burner. Now that the FIFA corruption scandal has calmed down a bit, we can talk again about the absurdity of putting the […]

Win and move on — it’s what the knockout stage is all about. Score one goal or 10, does it really matter? When you’re a two-time World Cup winning side and you wear the crest of the United States, the how almost matters as much as the result. So, color a lot of people unimpressed […]

After a lackluster performance in their Round of 16 game against Colombia, the USWNT rebounded by putting in a pretty dominating performance against China in the Quarterfinals. The score may have been 1-0 instead of 2-0 against Colombia but the USWNT was definitely a more complete team tonight. The game started off under rather horribly […]

Mexico and Jamaica are on two different paths going into the CONCACAF Gold Cup. On one hand you have Jamaica a team that many predicted were going to be decimated by teams such as Uruguay and Argentina, but instead only lost out by one goal in each game and, thanks to some impressive defense and […]

On Monday, the USA defeated Colombia 2-0. While Colombia never mounted a significant attack or shot on goal, the victory was a bit unconvincing. After all games thus far, critics have pointed out America’s shaky play. Primarily, the reason for this criticism is twofold: an overreliance on playing long balls to Abby Wambach, and the […]

It is still extremely early in this process, and the official draw isn’t for another month. However, the first game took place on March 12. The 2018 cycle has already begun. CONCACAF […]

Boring, unwatchable, “not worthy”, slow and on and on…we’ve all heard the criticism of the women’s soccer game. Some of it is frankly true, and some of it has been on display at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. None of it was on display late on Tuesday night as Japan and the Netherlands clashed […]

Open chances against the reigning World Cup champions in the first few minutes of a knockout stage game? Dream come true, right? That dream turned in to a nightmare scenario for the Netherlands against Japan in the final round of 16 matchup in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. After putting pressure on the Japanese […]

Don’t let the final score fool you, the US Women’s National Team defeated Colombia 2-0 in the Round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup. While the final score may have been 2-0 for the USA, the game tells a different story. After a rather dominant beginning of the game by the United States, Colombia […]

Congratulations Andy Benoit, you’re likely to be internet famous in the next few hours. Oh no he didn’t….but alas, he did indeed. Congratulations Benoit, you’ve set yourself, men and journalism back an entire decade or 40. However, don’t think he doesn’t want women playing sports — they’re just “not worthy” of being watched. Benoit was […]
