Tweet Editor’s Note: This is another piece in our US Women’s World Cup Send-Off Series, written not simply by The Yanks Are Coming writers but by some of our favorite soccer writers around the internet, as well as TYAC readers and general American soccer fans. This piece was written by Wesley Pickard, who is a [...]
Gold Cup 2011: US Falls To Panama 2-1, and this was a player’s loss
Tweet What follows is the match recap I wrote last night for The Shin Guardian. The only changes are a few links I thought I would add, and one more disclaimer. Below where it reads “This loss isn’t on Bob Bradley”, after a spirited comment discussion at TSG, I’ll amend slightly. Yes, Bob Bradley’s tactics [...]
Gold Cup 2011: Take our Talents to Tampa: Your USA-Panama Preview
Tweet By Jon Levy It’s nice to return to the “pages” of TYAC after a morale boosting win, and that’s exactly what the Canada match was. The Yanks weren’t perfect, but they were definitely good. Bobbo’s boys got the result, and the taste of horror show against Spain out of everyone’s mouths. Those two effects [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Tampa Weekend Edition
Tweet By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. Tuesday night was quite the performance from the USMNT. I am not quite sure exactly what Bob said to the boys in the locker room before the opening whistle, but it got the job done. After the absolute dismantling at the hands of [...]
Detroit Rock City: Everybody’s Gonna Leave Their Seat: Your USA-Canada Preview
Tweet By Jon Levy Let’s put the Spain game squarely in the rear view. That’s what I’m writing to start this preview, and that’s what US Soccer should have already done. Two days ago. Or two minutes after the match ended; the sooner the better. It was a relatively pointless (if well intentioned) New England [...]
Gold Cup 2011: Pardon Me For Being Too Forward, But Mexico’s Young Star May Be The Tournament’s Difference Maker

Spain 4, USA 0: Three Final Thoughts, and Player Ratings
Tweet By Neil W. Blackmon The bad news: the United States lost 4-0 on home soil today to the European and World Champions and for very little of the ninety minute match did the Yanks look even remotely like they belonged on the field with what was essentially a B-PLUS version of La Furia Roja. [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Puck’s Soccer Adventures in Italy Edition
Tweet By Puck Bonjourno, Yanks and Yankettes. Guess whose back? Apologies for the two week layoff, but I have been out of the country generally kicking ass. That’s right, Puck took his foul-mouthed, USMNT loving, beard growing self overseas to see what life is like in the land of meatballs and Cannoli. In truth, I [...]
USA-Spain Preview: A Great Marketing Ploy for US Soccer, A Silly Tune-Up Game
Tweet By Jon Levy Disclaimer: I’m a big believer in scheduling a warm-up friendly match right before a big tournament. That being said… This match is basically a sideshow. Sure, the revenge storyline is in play for La Furia Roja, but will it actually manifest itself on the pitch? The 2009 Confederations Cup was (to [...]
