USWNT: After Canada, A Golden Battle For Global Supremacy in London
Tweet Neil W. Blackmon Oh, Canada! We don’t need to remind you that Monday’s semifinal was an absolute classic, an all-timer of a match that transcended women’s sport and cemented a spot in U.S. Soccer and Olympic lore. We don’t need to remind you of how overwhelmingly familiar the narrative was either, this team trailing [...]
For USWNT, A Golden Group Stage, but It’s A Golden Finish That Counts
Tweet Neil W. Blackmon For the first fifteen minutes of the group stages, the few questions that surrounded the USWNT’s quest to defend its gold medal at the London Olympics seemed legitimate ones. Before most of the sizeable (and global) press contingent that follows the USWNT had settled into their seats at Hampden Park, the [...]
Puck’s Gameday Happy Hour: Thoughts on the USWNT Goalfest, Clint Dempsey, Venezuela and More…
Tweet 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 [...]

Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: Klinsmann’s Culture Change Will Take Time, and Lingering Questions Remain
Tweet By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. My apologies for missing last week’s gathering. I was home in Rochester, New York, land where USWNT stars are born, to celebrate my old man’s 60th birthday. As you turn 60 once in a lifetime, unless of course you are the Dali Lama [...]
Puck’s Friday Happy Hour: USWNT Media Acclaim Edition- Plus- Diego McConaughey ?
Tweet By Puck Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back into the Happy Hour. Hopefully, you have recovered from the USWNT drinking game I put together for the World Cup Final; I know it did the trick for me. I was dragging ass all day Monday for two reasons. First, I was hungover. The WWC Final was [...]

Simply Put- US Women Face Enormous Moment. Here’s betting they’re ready.
Tweet By Sean McElroy My Grandmother, who is ninety-three, has absolutely no reason to care about soccer. She is sharp as can be—her memory for her age is quite remarkable—and when I visit her she often asks about the various matches I am going to go see or have seen. Always, one conversation or question [...]

2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup: What US Women Did In Dresden, In A Word: Unforgettable
Tweet By Neil W. Blackmon Let’s just get the disclaimer right out of the way, shall we? What follows won’t do today justice. I would hope that’s obvious. Some moments in life are too sensory, too “I wish I could have been there or seen that” for the written word. In the age of youtube [...]
