After two rather embarrassing performances to start the final round of World Cup Qualifying, more and more people are looking at the U.S. Men’s National Team and toward Jurgen Klinsmann in general. Throughout Klinsmann’s tenure as manager, we have seen moments of greatness and moments of embarrassment out of the USMNT. Some were the cause […]

Once again it was an ugly first half for the USMNT. When you go into Costa Rica you know the conditions aren’t going to be great, and though this isn’t the old Saprissa Stadium, the field conditions left a lot to be desired. Players were slipping left and right in the first half for the […]

The United States up 1-0 has been a thing of beauty, with the USMNT going for the jugular ever since the goal in the 9th minute of action. A key to a lot of the attack has been central forward Clint Dempsey. He scored the first goal, and with the team searching for a big […]

You have the United States, who are hosting the tournament, fourth ranked Colombia, a Costa Rica team who were a penalty shootout away from the 2014 […]

I love soccer as much as the next person. But if you were like me and were watching either the USMNT/Costa Rica game or the USMNT/Canada U-23 game, we really could’ve watched something else to pass the time and saved two hours of sheer tedium. The Cubs eliminated the Cardinals in the NLDS, there were […]

For about 122 minutes, we had a very entertain 0-0 game between Mexico and Costa Rica in the CONCACAF Gold Cup Quarterfinals. Then the wheels all just seemed to fall apart and we got a disappointing end to what could’ve been one of the most thrilling games of the 2015 Gold Cup. The controversial play […]

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 […]
