After reflecting on the USA’s 2-1 extra time loss to Belgium and what it means in the bigger picture of American soccer, there’s an uncomfortable truth fans have to face. The USMNT is still a long way from realistically contending to win the World Cup. Don’t get me wrong, the effort put forth against Belgium […]

T1) Colombia – 1555 points currently – 1137 points before World Cup – 8th before WC T1) Argentina – […]

Just because the United States lost on Tuesday doesn’t mean you have to stop watching the World Cup. Eight teams remain in Brazil as the quarterfinals get started on Friday. Who should you root for now that the Americans were sent home? Here’s a rundown in reverse order.

Without Tim Howard, this could have been a much different game leaving fans with a much different sentiment towards the US team and perhaps a much more pessimistic view of the US’s future prospects on the international soccer scene. But Tim Howard was a beast. Rarely going a more than a couple minutes without an […]

OK England, we get it…you invented the sport we all love, your top league is the most popular in the world and you think its your birth right to win the World Cup. Too bad all of that hasn’t translated in to anything of note over the past decade or two on the international soccer […]

Luis Suarez’s penchant for human flesh is well documented, but since being caught biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini in Uruguay’s 1-0 win over the Azzurri he wasn’t much for apologies. That changed on Monday as the player finally issued a public apology. Wait, we thought you just “lost your balance” there Mr. Suarez. If that’s the […]

What would it look like if Klaus-Jan Huntelaar pulled off his flying kick of the corner flag in 8-bit? Good question. (via 8-bit Football)

Giorgio Chiellini shared his thoughts on becoming Luis Suarez’s latest biting victim…
“I don’t have any feelings of joy, revenge or anger towards Suarez for an incident which happened on the field and finished there.
“I’m just angry and disappointed about losing the game. At the moment, my only thoughts are with Luis and his family, because they’re faced with a very difficult period.”
Chiellini also had thoughts about Suarez’s nine match, four month suspension.
“I always considered the disciplinary measures by the governing organisations to be unequivocal, but at the same time I think what they have proposed is excessive. I sincerely hope that he will be permitted at least to be close to his teammates during their games, because forbidding him from doing that would be alienating him.”
