Puck’s Happy Hour: Nothing Edition
After thinking long and hard for the last several hours, I really had no idea what to write about for this week’s Happy Hour post. Of course there has been a significant amount of USMNT and World Cup news in general, but what topic should I chose to formulate 700 (658) words on? Instead of [...]
This Davies Situation Doesn’t Come Close To The Harkes Controversy Of Sex, Books And Videotape
Sucks for Charlie Davies. In a week it will be yesterday’s news. By comparison, the John Harkes controversy lasted 12 years.

Rollercoaster Week for Yanks – Levy
U.S. Soccer just hit a huge high with the boost of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, and promptly followed that with the brutal low of Charlie Davies’ car crash. A fractured tibia and femur along with a laundry list of other injuries will almost certainly keep Davies from returning for the World Cup, but [...]
The Azteca: The Wrap – Levy
The Yanks showed two different faces on Wednesday in The Azteca; unfortunately while one of those faces was on display for only one moment of brilliance, the other reared its ugly mug for the other 92 minutes. Landon Donovan’s through ball to Charlie “Chuck D” Davies and the ensuing cool finish conjured images of everything [...]
