The Wacky World of MLS Playoff Standings
Tweet By Andrew Villegas Take a second to look at the up-to-the-moment playoff standings for MLS. What strikes you? If you’re anything like most people, it’s that the New York Red Bulls – is it wrong that I automatically think to add “machine” to the [...]
EPL In Focus: Wenger Responds To Manchester Massacre- But Is Damage Already Done?
Tweet By Guy Bailey Renowned motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once said “If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost”.

Tweet by Dru Boyer The season is back, and I’m late. How was your summer? The start of European football brings with it all things good in this world…soccer, NFL, college football, and here in the Bluegrass State, college basketball preseason.

Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Klinsy’s Debut, and Building on the MB 90 Nickname Legacy at TYAC
Tweet By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen welcome back to the Happy Hour. Wednesday’s match with Mexicowent just about as scripted, at least in this writer’s view. The USMNT veterans were unfamiliar with their new assignments under Klinsy and El Tri took advantage, exploiting the resulting gaps in defense. The addition of former USMNT outcasts like [...]
Adu returns to MLS, his senses?
Tweet By Andrew Villegas Freddy Adu is coming, er, staying, stateside. On the outs at Benfica, and after four unsuccessful loan stints, Adu has decided that it’s probably a better bet to keep his place on the U.S. Men’s National Team by seeing the field and getting some meaningful playing time in MLS. And who [...]

Tweet Loyal Yanks Are Coming Readers- It’s that time of year again– when we set our alarms for the same time on weekends as we set them on workweeks– where 9 am is an appropriate time to visit the pub– where Jon F. Levy talks of dominating everyone and we can only smile and point [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Klinsmann’s Culture Change Will Take Time, and Lingering Questions Remain
Tweet By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. My apologies for missing last week’s gathering. I was home in Rochester, New York, land where USWNT stars are born, to celebrate my old man’s 60th birthday. As you turn 60 once in a lifetime, unless of course you are the Dali Lama [...]
