Jozy Altidore isn’t getting dropped from the USMNT anytime soon and we have to accept that

0 comments by on 8/31/2016

For US Soccer fans there is no more polarizing figure than manager Jurgen Klinsmann. These days it seems that everyone is either firmly in the fire Jurgen camp, or they’re firmly in the pro-Jurgen camp. Full disclosure, I am a prominent member of the “you guys don’t realize how good we have it with Jurgen […]

Now that it’s been an entire weekend since the USWNT were eliminated by Sweden in the Rio Olympics Quarterfinal, it’s finally a time to have a rational look at the team to determine why they lost and where they go from here and if we learned some things on the way.

Who has a brighter future: the USMNT or England?

Following the 2014 World Cup, I was speaking with a bunch of my friends from London about our respective teams performances at the tournament. As we discussed how impressive the Americans were, and how predictably poor England were, it became clear. For the first time ever it looked as if the USMNT was in a […]

Darlington Nagbe scores 90th minute winner as USMNT defeats Ecuador 1-0

Tonight’s USA/Ecuador game was the definition of a slow burn. Struggling in the first half, making moves to slowly get better and then have that result in a 90th minute goal to defeat Ecuador 1-0. For a Copa America tune-up, the first half didn’t inspire confidence. In all fairness, manager Jurgen Klinsmann said that he […]

Christian Pulisic has had a 2016 that is pretty far removed from your average 17-year-old American’s typical year. The young Borussia Dortmund midfielder made his first team debut for the black and yellow and was given his first senior cap for the USMNT. To top it all off he became the youngest player in Bundesliga […]
