Contest Entry: Bolton Wanderers FC
Our second published contest entry comes from reader Mark Yesilevskiy, a longtime reader and bright soccer fan and player from TYAC Pop Culture Guru Puck’s neck of the woods, Rochester, New York. When he’s not cheering on the Philadelphia Union or the hometown Rochester Rhinos, Mark is a fan of USMNT midfielder and Abercrombie hearththrob [...]
Contest Entry: West Ham United
The first of our entries in the “Find (our editor-in-chief) Dan Seco an EPL side” contest comes from soon to be Gainesville, Florida resident Tim Hayes. Hayes suggests that Dan should choose West Ham United. This type of entry embodies the selfless spirit of the contest, as Hayes, himself a Manchester City fan, makes a [...]
Contest: Find Editor Dan Seco an EPL Team !!
As a few The Yanks Are Coming readers are aware, our Editor In Chief and fearless, visionary leader Daniel Seco does not have a favorite English Premier League Team. He’s dabbled a bit with the boys at Craven Cottage but never fully bought in. Same for the Billy Beane Sabermetrics club success story that plys [...]
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 [...]
Landon to Man City: Makes Sense, Just maybe not For Landon

Yanks Abroad: The Week In Review
Aris Salonika v. Olympiakos 4/28/10 Eddie Johnson netted a pair of goals in the 2-0 win for Aris. Freddy Adu provided the assist on Johnson’s first goal. That video is worth checking out, it was a very nice assist by Adu, and at the 2:15 mark we get a solid look at a Greek babe. [...]
Why Isn’t There A Draft In Soccer?
Can you feel a draft? I guess it’s a sign of how well I have adapted to American life that I am checking my Smartphone every five minutes to see which pile of ass the Atlanta Falcons blow their first round draft choice on this year. It also got me to thinking, why isn’t there [...]
