USA – Panama: Round Three – Your TYAC Preview
Jon Levy The Yanks are coming off what’s becoming the typical Jurgen Klinsmann USMNT performance when faced with less skilled competition. They possessed the crap out of ball, moved it well in their opponent’s half, but failed to generate clear cut scoring chances against a well organized defense. But they did get a pinch of [...]
Puck’s Gameday Happy Hour: Thoughts on the USWNT Goalfest, Clint Dempsey, Venezuela and More…
Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. Since we last got together, I have been on top of the world. The Syracuse Orangemen (they will never be the Orange to true fans) are the number one team in the land, Manchester City remains atop the EPL table thanks to the head of [...]
USMNT- Venezuela: Your TYAC Official Preview
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 hotel [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: MLS Cup, and If USMNT Players Were Cocktails Edition
By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. With my qualifying exams finished, I can finally enjoy a weekend full of Florida Football, PBR, and the MLS Cup Final. While the great majority of USMNT fans seem ready to proclaim Klinsy the greatest US National Team coach since Herb Brooks, I am [...]
Goal Starved USMNT Faces Stingy Slovenian Defense: Your Official TYAC Preview
By Jon Levy I’m going to be really nice to Jurgen Klinsmann and describe his first six matches in charge as “underwhelming.” Far more severe adjectives could be applied, especially after the disappointing performance against France. Alexei Lalas nailed it, as he often does, in calling the team out for not even attempting to rise [...]
France 1, USMNT 0: Klinsmann Does His Best Bob Bradley, Except Not As Good- TYAC’s FInal Word
By Garrett McInnis Prior to the France match, I had completely unrealistic expectations. The same can be said of my expectations for Jurgen Klinsmann’s first few months as manager of the National Team. I think it’s safe to say that most American soccer fans got a little too excited by Klinsy’s hire. Having said all [...]
Yanks Are Coming Presents Our First 2014 Top Twenty Three USMNT Players
By Garrett McInnis As we parse through the lineup selected by Jurgen Klinsmann for the November friendlies, we at The Yanks are Coming think it’s a perfect time to debut a new series of posts titled “The Top 23.” In essence, this will be a running tabulation of who we (the contributors at TYAC) think [...]
USA-Ecuador Preview: Yanks Try To Build Momentum Against Hot Ecuador Side
By Jon Levy The Yanks’ one-nil victory over a mix-and-match Honduras squad this weekend didn’t inspire passionate feelings of indomitable hope or incredulous consternation, and that’s probably a good thing. The summer of 2011, the summer of everything for the national teams took the American soccer community on a ride we won’t ever forget, but [...]
Puck’s Saturday In America: I Miss Bob Bradley and Winning Edition
By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, Once again, it’s Saturday in America. And it is gameday in Gainesville, so we all know I’ll be well on my way to blackout shortly. Since we last got together our beloved USMNT has lost two consecutive matches 1-0 to the likes of Costa Rica and Belgium. The talking heads [...]
