US Men’s Olympic Failure a Regional Failure, and That’s Unacceptable
Tweet Jon Levy It’s not okay. There should be blood. Just a couple thoughts that danced through my head on Monday night. And nothing that I’ll ever back down from. But none of that’s even strong enough to appropriately convey the disappointment. Disappointment compounded with a grim view of the future for American soccer/football. [...]
Freddy Adu: Ready to Lead? And Other Burning U-23 Questions Before Tonight’s Opener…
Tweet By Garrett McInnis As I was throwing clothes into a suitcase, I was left thinking about the next few days and what they will be like. I’m heading to Nashville today before the US Under-23’s opening match of Olympic Qualifying. This will be my first foray into covering the United States as a live, [...]
TYAC Olympic Qualifying Position Breakdown: Making Middy Music
Tweet Jon Levy You’ll have to forgive all of us here at The Yanks Are Coming for getting into a more-than-healthy amount of self-referencing in the coming months. We’re coming up on the blog’s fourth birthday this summer, TYAC having been created in the wake of a very talented 2008 Olympic soccer team’s early and unexpected exit from the [...]
MLS Candy Dish: L’Impact de Montréal Mock Draft
Tweet By Andrew Villegas The problem with the MLS expansion draft candy dish is that you have to wade through a hundred stale Tootsie Rolls (some of which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, go figure) to get to that proverbial Snickers bar. This is the worst kept secret in American soccer. Teams stack the [...]
A Dickensian Summer For US Soccer Ended Today With The Appointment of Jurgen Klinsmann, and one last plot twist: Hope.
Tweet By Neil W. Blackmon It finally ended today. Not a five year era—no—that was Thursday’s news. No—it ended. The summer that wouldn’t end. The summer that reminded us how great we can be; how fleeting success is; how far we have to go. The summer of everything ended this afternoon at what can only [...]
USA-Spain Preview: A Great Marketing Ploy for US Soccer, A Silly Tune-Up Game
Tweet By Jon Levy Disclaimer: I’m a big believer in scheduling a warm-up friendly match right before a big tournament. That being said… This match is basically a sideshow. Sure, the revenge storyline is in play for La Furia Roja, but will it actually manifest itself on the pitch? The 2009 Confederations Cup was (to [...]
Friedel’s Final Go At Villa Park?, Bedoya’s Fine Form continues and other Yanks Abroad
Tweet by Dru Boyer Ladies and Gentlemen, we have reached the conclusion of Yanks Abroad the 2010/2011 edition. It has been a record-setting season for some, disappointing for others, and ending in relegation for one…well… two if Eddie Johnson stays at Preston, but I don’t see that happening. The Gold Cup roster has been released [...]
Bob Bradley: The Riverboat Gambler?? Thoughts on the Gold Cup Roster
Tweet By Neil W. Blackmon First thought on the US Gold Cup team? Bob Bradley…riverboat gambler? What happened to the guy who started Ricardo Clark in the biggest match he ever managed? Yesterday’s media conference call was easily the most fascinating of the long-tenured USMNT manager’s career, as he fielded all manner of questions in [...]
Jon Spector’s West Ham Future, MB 10, Mo Edu Three-Peats, and Other Yanks Abroad
Tweet by Dru Boyer With seasons all across Europe coming to a close, many Americans abroad were battling for a chance at Champions League or Europa League births. Some made their dreams come true, and others will have to wait for next year. There are still some matches to play in the Premiership this weekend, [...]
Pounding Hi-C’s and Capri Suns: Your Americanized Weekend Preview
Tweet By Jon Levy Royal Wedding kicked off the weekend but the soccer should be nearly as exciting as a Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen dress (I googled that, I promise), so let’s just dive right in to your Americanized Weekend Preview and viewing guide. MLS This week’s marquee MLS matchup pits buddy forwards Teal [...]
