0 comments by on 7/8/2015

The training ground is where tactics and mindset are established. It is also a place where players have a bit of fun coming up with goofy plays and daring free kicks. Apparently Costa Rica has been working on a quirky set piece or two heading in to the 2015 Gold Cup, because it didn’t take […]

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

0 comments by

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 […]

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.

Jill Ellis Deserves Our Praise

0 comments by

At the beginning of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, possibly the most uncertain aspect of the U.S. Women’s National Team was their head coach, Jill Ellis.
