Dos a Cero? Not likely. But tonight- the US looks to continue its run of fine play against its bitter southern rival.

Gold Cup 2011. US vs. Mexico. The Final. Your Preview. Part Two.

Tweet By Jon Levy USA – Mexico: TYAC Previews The Gold Cup Final – Part 2 of 2 My Gold Cup Final Preview Part 1 should provide all the preface you want or need. Now let’s get down and dirty, let’s get down to brass tax, let’s get down to any number of trite clichés! [...]

As he should have been, Clint Dempsey was all over the field last night. But he couldn't finish over and over again. Could fatigue be crippling the U.S. ?

Gold Cup 2011: Asleep At the Wheel: Americans Hindered By Lack of Rest

Tweet 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 [...]

Time for the USMNT to put up or shut up. Only a draw gets them out of the embarrassment "danger zone."

Gold Cup 2011: Your Official TYAC USA vs. Guadeloupe Preview, where we again page Landon Donovan

Tweet By Jon Levy If I didn’t know better, I’d start this post by touting the merits of the “learning experience” the USMNT got on Saturday night in Tampa. After all, team leader and frequent spokesman Landon Donovan was branding the Panama match as such in the wake of the disappointing 2-1 loss. So it [...]

Nelson Barahona and Panama had a great game plan and executed it against Cherundolo and the Yanks. Now the USMNT fans want blood.

Gold Cup 2011: After Worst Loss in Bradley Era, USMNT Fans Should Be Careful What They Wish For

Tweet By Puck First, before getting into my final thoughts on the Panama game, I need to give a huge shout out to the American Outlaws Tampa Crew for putting together one hell of an event. Everything from the pregame at MacDinton’s Irish pub, the exceptional tailgate, and the transportation to and from was spot [...]

Bob Bradley put the same 11 out there who handled Canada. At some point- shouldn't you just ask the players to execute?

Gold Cup 2011: US Falls To Panama 2-1, and this was a player’s loss

Tweet What follows is the match recap I wrote last night for The Shin Guardian. The only changes are a few links I thought I would add, and one more disclaimer. Below where it reads “This loss isn’t on Bob Bradley”, after a spirited comment discussion at TSG, I’ll amend slightly. Yes, Bob Bradley’s tactics [...]

Juan Agudelo should have more space and time to operate and influence the game Saturday night at the Pirate Ship.

Gold Cup 2011: Take our Talents to Tampa: Your USA-Panama Preview

Tweet By Jon Levy It’s nice to return to the “pages” of TYAC after a morale boosting win, and that’s exactly what the Canada match was. The Yanks weren’t perfect, but they were definitely good. Bobbo’s boys got the result, and the taste of horror show against Spain out of everyone’s mouths. Those two effects [...]

A great USMNT career is closing with a whimper: It's a shame, but Gooch just doesn't have much left.

Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Tampa Weekend Edition

Tweet By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. Tuesday night was quite the performance from the USMNT. I am not quite sure exactly what Bob said to the boys in the locker room before the opening whistle, but it got the job done. After the absolute dismantling at the hands of [...]

Forget Spain. It's Go Time. For those about to Detroit Rock City...we salute you.

Detroit Rock City: Everybody’s Gonna Leave Their Seat: Your USA-Canada Preview

Tweet By Jon Levy Let’s put the Spain game squarely in the rear view. That’s what I’m writing to start this preview, and that’s what US Soccer should have already done. Two days ago. Or two minutes after the match ended; the sooner the better. It was a relatively pointless (if well intentioned) New England [...]

Frustrated in the Champions League Final, Hernandez outclassed his first senior level taste of CONCACAF defending with a hat trick. Yikes.

Gold Cup 2011: Pardon Me For Being Too Forward, But Mexico’s Young Star May Be The Tournament’s Difference Maker

Tweet By Andrew Villegas The following is the fourth in a four part series comparing the 2011 Gold Cup rosters of the two “giants of CONCACAF.” Forwards The Yanks: Jozy Altidore (Villarreal/Bursapor), Juan Agudelo (NYRB), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes) El Tri: Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez (Manchester United), Giovanni Dos Santos (Tottenham Hotspur/Racing de Santander), Aldo [...]

Deportivo Coruna man Andres Guardado is an undervalued component of a steady Mexican midfield, but they lack a Clint Dempsey or a Landon Donovan, giving the Yanks a small edge.

Gold Cup 2011: USA vs. Mexico Roster Analysis: Midfield Engines Drive Both Sides

Tweet by Dru Boyer The following is the third in a four part series comparing the 2011 Gold Cup rosters of the two “giants of CONCACAF”. Midfielders The Yanks: Michael Bradley (Aston Villa), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Clint Dempsey (Fulham), Landon Donovan (L.A. Galaxy), Jermaine Jones (Blackburn), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew), Freddy Adu [...]
