The Azteca: The Wrap – Levy
Tweet The Yanks showed two different faces on Wednesday in The Azteca; unfortunately while one of those faces was on display for only one moment of brilliance, the other reared its ugly mug for the other 92 minutes. Landon Donovan’s through ball to Charlie “Chuck D” Davies and the ensuing cool finish conjured images of [...]
Problems with the Bradley Family – Crowley
Tweet I just watched the USA vs. Mexico monstrosity, and I’m FURIOUS with that game, the general direction of US soccer, and most importantly Bob Bradley’s (who from this point onward will be known as Bobbo) baffling lineup choices. Before I explain any further, let me introduce myself. I am member #3 of the USA [...]

US Roster Set For Azteca
Tweet Bob Bradley wisely waited until the last minute to release this roster for the Yanks qualifier in Mexico City at the fabled Azteca Wednesday. The game can be seen on ESPN. No real surprises per se on this roster– Chad Marshall gets the nod over Danny Califf and The Dude in the back, and [...]
August Yankette of the Month: Minka Kelly
Tweet August’s Yankette of the Month Minka Kelly is a truly American story. The Friday Night Lights star (If you don’t watch, I’m really, really, really, really sorry for you) describes her childhood as “pretty rough”, which is tough to believe when you are the daughter of former Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay, but it’s the [...]
Altidore to Hull City

July/August Yankette of the Month– Lady Gaga (July)
Tweet Winning the July honors for Yankette of the Month must have been tough, because 23 year old Yonkers, New Yorker and NYU drop out Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta surely would be upset about the lack of Gold Cup entries. After all– the “B List” team represents the U.S. too… I mean, Lady Gaga used [...]
