Life Without Landon: Your U.S.-Honduras Match Preview
By Jon Levy A month ago it looked like we were in for what could pass for a marquee CONCACAF friendly. Now that’s wrong for a couple reasons. Aside from the fact that no “marquee CONCACAF friendly” outside of U.S./Mexico exists, both the U.S. and Honduras have now both been hit with the injury bug. [...]
Gold Cup 2011: Asleep At the Wheel: Americans Hindered By Lack of Rest
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 tank [...]
Joe Cole to Liverpool is Truly Boom or Bust
So Joe Cole leaves Chelsea and joins Liverpool for a no doubt whopping signing-on fee plus a comparable weekly wage and probably the promise of greater playing time. Since bursting onto the scene with West Ham nearly 10 years ago as the next big thing, Cole has flattered to deceive. Whilst obviously talented, Chelsea never [...]

Going Out On A High Note
A few weeks ago I could have ended my soccer career on a high note. In stoppage time, I scored the tying goal for my over-30 team that was facing relegation. I thought about never playing again. Whatever it is, we all want to leave it on our terms. We want to go voluntarily–quit instead [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Post World Cup Depression Edition
This has been without a doubt one of the more miserable weeks of my life. The World Cup has ended, and I have to go back to actually working all day instead of taking time off to watch the world’s best play the beautiful game. Before I get into the details of how awful this [...]

Edson Buddle On JMS Podcast
Our friend, Jared Montz, was kind enough to allow us to put up his podcast on The Yanks Are Coming. A former professional soccer player in the MLS, Jared is doing big things down near New Orleans where he coaches, runs soccer camps, does private training and heads America’s first online soccer academy. I strongly [...]
Holland v US: Player Ratings
Trying to defend against the Dutch is like trying to catch a bullet with your teeth. With Penn and Teller not in our Starting XI, the US succumbed 2-1 to the Clockwork Orange in front of 46,630 packed into the Amsterdam ArenA. Starters Howard: 7. Unlucky to give up goals by PK and deflection. Great [...]
Czech-ch-Czech-Czech-ch-Czech It Out
On May 25th the USMNT will continue to challenge itself by facing the Czech Republic in a pre-World Cup schedule that now has a catchy name (so you know it must be good) – The Send-Off Series. Furthermore, it’s rumored that the series has one more fixture yet to be scheduled, possibly against the Republic [...]
