The Ballad of Landon Donovan
Dear TYAC Reader, I have a confession to make. I have, in the past, been critical of Landon Donovan. Not his play, as I’ve always loved him on the field, but his decision to stay in MLS always baffled me. I was under the belief that he was complacent, happy to be the big fish [...]
Yanks On The Bubble
There are some individuals, that, if fit, Bob Bradley will automatically take to South Africa this summer. Tim Howard. Landon Donovan. Carlos Bocanegra. Snuffles, Bob’s stuffed lamb with the nose bitten off. There are plenty though, for whom every match, every ball, and every twitch of a muscle is an opportunity to flex their World [...]

The Luck Of The Drawer
Another big difference between you and your football brethren o’er the pond is our attitudes regarding luck and fortune and our relative ability to influence and harness it – or believe we can. Ask any English fan if their team is going to win at the weekend and they will come back with a variety [...]
They’re The Only Three Teams For Me
So there we were, killing time at the car dealership where I spend the worst part of my working week, all of us straining our necks to spot incoming customers so we could avoid serving them. This is a truism of any dealership. Most of the salespeople, or product specialists in my case, would really [...]
The Puck Strikes Back: On AIDS
While watching the God awful BCS National Championship game between The Antichrist’s (Nick Saban) Alabama Crimson Tide, and the Texas Longhorns, I began to think about my next post for TYAC. I began to reflect on my high school soccer career. I was good, not great, and standing barely over five feet in my Copas [...]
Taking A Look Ahead To 2018
With fans and members of the media focusing their energies on the 2010 World Cup, I encourage you to take a step back and fast forward a good 10 years or so. The United States hopes to host either the 2018 or 2022 World Cup, and while this event is indeed a long way off, [...]

Checking Up On Some Yanks
Guess what happened yesterday USMNT fans!? The team that I root for in the Scottish Premiership won a game 4-1! The defending champion Rangers got a goal from Kris Boyd, two from Kenny Miller, and one from my boy Nacho Novo! Not since my videogame “Master League” team in Winning Eleven 9 has a Rangers [...]
Charlie Davies On The Mend?
With the holidays in full swing, U.S. Soccer news has seemingly taken a back seat to adult beverages, burgeoning waistlines and dogs wearing antlers. Fortunately for the good folks at The Yanks Are Coming, the men on the USMNT fancy the use of Twitter. Undoubtedly, one of the biggest questions on the minds of USMNT [...]
