Gold Cup 2011: Puck’s Gameday Happy Hour: US-Mexico Drinking Game
Tweet By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour—Special Gold Cup Final edition. It has certainly been a rollercoaster month for USMNT fans. After dispatching Canada, I personally witnessed (along with the rest of the AO Tampa crew) the worst loss in the Bradley era against Panama in Tampa. Victory over Guadeloupe [...]
Gold Cup 2011. US vs. Mexico. The Final. Your Preview. Part Two.
Tweet By Jon Levy USA – Mexico: TYAC Previews The Gold Cup Final – Part 2 of 2 My Gold Cup Final Preview Part 1 should provide all the preface you want or need. Now let’s get down and dirty, let’s get down to brass tax, let’s get down to any number of trite clichés! [...]
Gold Cup 2011: US vs. Mexico. The Final. Your Preview. Part One.
Tweet By Jon Levy USA – Mexico: TYAC Previews The Gold Cup Final – Part 1 of 2 The North American neighbors took drastically different paths to Pasadena, but CONCACAF doesn’t count style points. The US struggled in group play before finding form in the quarterfinal and gutting out a quality win in the semi [...]
Gold Cup 2011: “I Knew It Was You, Panama. You Broke My Heart.” Your Preview to the Sequel
Tweet By Jon Levy One match changes everything. That’s a mantra gleaned from marketing exec’s and an idea prevalent in pretty much every Hollywood sports movie. It’s not usually true in real life. What’s more likely, and what actually happens more often, is that one match changes a season or tournament. Fans of the United [...]
Gold Cup 2011: At Gut-Check Time Again, Bradley’s US Answers the Bell, and other final Jamaica Thoughts
Tweet By Neil W. Blackmon Three thoughts on a great win for the USMNT today at RFK Stadium and more broadly on a weekend that changed (for now) the complexion of this Gold Cup tournament. Mexico looked vulnerable Saturday night, despite a comeback victory. They were disorganized in the back against a Guatemalan team that [...]
Gold Cup 2011: Recapping Group A– Where Only Mexico Matters
Tweet By Sean McElroy Fox Soccer Channel might not have aired the matches, but my friends at Telemundo and Galavision provided excellent (and high definition) coverage of the affairs of Group A. In my preview, I considered Group A to be the CONCACAF version of a group of death. I had originally planned to write [...]
Gold Cup 2011: US-Jamaica, Every Little Thing’s Gonna Be Alright… Your TYAC Preview
Tweet By Jon Levy Rarely do I have something randomly in common with both Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey on the day before a big USMNT match, but on Saturday, all three of us will be doing roughly the same thing. Dressing up, enjoying catered fare and folding chairs, and making nice with people we [...]
Gold Cup 2011: Asleep At the Wheel: Americans Hindered By Lack of Rest
Tweet By Andrew Villegas Americans playing in Europe have never had more luck, chances or playing time in Europe, perhaps, than they’ve had this past year. And they look it. They’re tired and USMNT supporters hold their breath that every run by Clint Dempsey and every clearance by Steve Cherundulo will finally fully empty the [...]
Gold Cup 2011: Your Official TYAC USA vs. Guadeloupe Preview, where we again page Landon Donovan
Tweet By Jon Levy If I didn’t know better, I’d start this post by touting the merits of the “learning experience” the USMNT got on Saturday night in Tampa. After all, team leader and frequent spokesman Landon Donovan was branding the Panama match as such in the wake of the disappointing 2-1 loss. So it [...]
Gold Cup 2011: After Worst Loss in Bradley Era, USMNT Fans Should Be Careful What They Wish For
Tweet By Puck First, before getting into my final thoughts on the Panama game, I need to give a huge shout out to the American Outlaws Tampa Crew for putting together one hell of an event. Everything from the pregame at MacDinton’s Irish pub, the exceptional tailgate, and the transportation to and from was spot [...]
