Euro Trip! U.S. Prepare For France, Slovenia In Short Order
By Connor Walsh The United States has finalized its next pair of matches with double European dates in November. The team will travel to France for a match with the 1998 World Cup Champion Les Bleus at the Stade de France on Nov. 11, followed four days later with a trip to Ljubljana, Slovenia for [...]
Puck’s Christmas Cheer Happy Hour: Top Five USMNT Moments 2010 Edition
By Puck, writing from Rochester, New York Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into another Happy Hour. Hopefully, last week’s Sad Edition of the HH did not keep you up at night. Unfortunately, I did catch a lot of shit via Twitter regarding my Gooch is Dead piece. Clearly, the entire post should have been taken [...]

In many ways, Friday morning’s tilt with Slovenia is more [...]
USA-Slovenia Preview

Group C Abroad: Rounding Into Form
One of the most interesting tales from golf’s Vatican this week has been the performance of Phil Mickelson, who tees off this afternoon with an eye on his third green jacket. Mickelson has played exceptional golf, and until Friday, no one that wasn’t there really noticed, as we’ve been fed every possible Tiger Woods story [...]
