USA-Costa Rica Preview: Part II – Three Points, Any Which Way
Tweet Jon Levy The United States Men’s National Team faces a number of crises ahead of crucial World Cup Qualifiers against Costa Rica in Denver, and away to Mexico at the Azteca.

State of the Union: US Midfield Still A Position of Strength, But Must Provide More
Tweet Neil W. Blackmon Editor’s Note: This is the second of a four-part series analyzing the “State of the US Soccer Union” as the Americans prepare for two critical CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying matches later this month.

US U-20 Team: Looking Back and Looking Forward
Tweet Jon Levy Well that was quite different, wasn’t it? It was an uninspired first match for the US U-20 team to start the 2013 CONCACAF Championship/U-20 World Cup Qualification Tournament, but a match in which a shorthanded team fought through its weaknesses to pick up an ugly win against an inferior opponent. Can’t think [...]

Blackmon A bit behind the flurry of post-match analysis, but perhaps that’s okay for a more analytic look at the United States’ 4-1 loss to Brazil at FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland Wednesday night. The most certain (though maybe not the largest?) takeaway from the match? Brazil is still really good, even [...]
Putting A Bow on The USMNT Win Over Scotland
Tweet Neil W. Blackmon The following is what I wrote in the aftermath of the United States’ 5-1 victory over Scotland. Jacksonville, FL – The U.S. Men’s National team began what Jurgen Klinsmann dubbed a “five game tournament” Saturday night in Jacksonville, deploying a (somewhat) experimental formation and a lineup of around 7 bona fide [...]
USMNT- Venezuela: Your TYAC Official Preview
Tweet Jon Levy The national team hasn’t even suited up in 2012, but it’s already been an encouraging year for American soccer. Dempsey and Donovan (for two months, at least) are both leading the line of attack for their respective English Premier League teams, the Women’s National Teamers avoided a would-be tragedy in their Vancouver [...]
