Blackmon http://www.yanksarecoming.com/?p=2308 As we approach the World Cup, we here at the Yanks Are Coming, like the USMNT, are training hard to make sure we are in top-form and fitness when the lights shine the brightest. Naturally, this demands more than great sportswriting, increased workloads, and tighter Dan Seco deadlines. Speaking of Dan Seco, there’s a rumor going around that he’s actually sleeping five-six hours a night. That’s practically hibernation for that dude—I have no idea...

Blessed (or cursed) with the boredom that stems from a comfortable upbringing, the throes of a weekend evening often left my friends and me on the cusp of sure disaster. One particular spring evening, we found ourselves tossing back bottles of Yuengling (no longer a fan) while...

Blackmon http://www.yanksarecoming.com/?p=1634 Hailing from Allentown, PA, 24-year-old actress Amanda Seyfried rounds out a year of The Yanks Are Coming’s you-know-you-love-it feature “Yankette of the Month.” Seyfried, who began easing her way into American pop culture consciousness with her role as Karen in Tina Fey’s wonderful Mean Girls, has reached the cusp of stardom with her role as Sarah Henrickson on HBO’s controversial hit Big Love. The beautiful Seyfried has capitalized on the Big...

While we’ll continue our monthly article on American female celebrities, we’ve decided to branch out and include an undeniably important segment of the USMNT community – YOU!  This month, we welcome Anna, a student at Harvard Law and an ardent fan of the USMNT. Q: How did you first get into following the...

When in doubt, just assume someone from Texas is up for the job. All in all, it is fitting...

Meet Blake Lively, a burgeoning young actress you may recognize from such artistic endeavors as the television show "Gossip Girl" and "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." And yes, as per Yankette of the Month doctrine, Ms. Lively is a red blooded California girl. Doesn't the photo alone make you want to start chanting "U-S-A" at the top of your lungs?

But let's not forget to celebrate Southern California's Audrina Patridge, the September 2009 Yankette of the Month.
