With the USMNT win over St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the United States has all but locked up qualification to the final Hexagonal round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying.

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

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.

A too early preview of UEFA World Cup 2018 qualifying

While the expansion of the European Championships from 16 to 24 teams may have given us a bit of a letdown at Euro 2016 it did give us one very big positive.

Guatemala shoves “dos a cero” back down the USMNT’s throats after an embarrassing performance

If I could type in the “crap” emoji 500 times and turned that in as my recap for tonight’s game, I would. But, I would like to be a bit more articulate with my analysis of what happened so here goes. The USMNT is in danger for not even qualifying into the Hex after losing 2-0 […]
