Yanks Abroad: Dempsey Double Duty, Buddle Brace Headline Europa Action
by Dru Boyer The Yanks Abroad returned to Europa League play on Thursday with a vengeance … not a single Yanks’ squad lost a match. It was a pretty decent Thursday, in fact the Yanks were 7-2-0 in the matches (Dominic Cervi and Brad Friedel did not dress for Celtic and Tottenham, respectively.) The Player of the Week honor goes [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Tampa Weekend Edition
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 the [...]
Detroit Rock City: Everybody’s Gonna Leave Their Seat: Your USA-Canada Preview
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 afternoon [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Puck’s Soccer Adventures in Italy Edition
By Puck Bonjourno, Yanks and Yankettes. Guess whose back? Apologies for the two week layoff, but I have been out of the country generally kicking ass. That’s right, Puck took his foul-mouthed, USMNT loving, beard growing self overseas to see what life is like in the land of meatballs and Cannoli. In truth, I was [...]
USA-Spain Preview: A Great Marketing Ploy for US Soccer, A Silly Tune-Up Game
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 quote [...]

Dempsey Continues Remarkable Season, Tim Howard Excels and Other Yanks Abroad: April 25-May 5
By Dru Boyer The season is rapidly coming to a close and many of our heroes abroad are aligning themselves for a run and Champion’s League or Europa League glory next season. Mo Edu, Steve Cherundolo, and Gooch certainly have some big matches forthcoming, let’s all say a prayer that Captain Steve will be able [...]
Cherundolo and the Champions League, and Other Yanks Abroad
By Dru Boyer Not a very exciting week for the Yanks Abroad, although we did witness some hot Yank on Yank action in the EPL. I’ll give my player of the week honors to Steve Cherundolo for being part of a 3-1 smack down of Bayern and having Hannover on pace for a Champions League [...]
MB 90 Lackluster for Villa, Is Tim Howard Underappreciated and Other Yanks Abroad News
Welcome back to your weekly Yanks Abroad update. I took an informal poll of all of my loyal readers last week regarding a change in format and after a tight 5-3 vote, I have decided to make a slight change. Not a very exciting week for our European based heroes, but that doesn’t stop my [...]
USMNT: Transfer Deadline Ratings
By Jon Levy, writing from Gainesville, FL Congratulations Yanks readers, you’ve made it. We’ve made it. The silly season is over. Deep pockets, cash strapped owners, and media speculation can once again take a back seat to the beautiful game itself. Being played on grass. With a ball. And nets. But what about our USMNT [...]
