As a Revolution fan....we wait.....and wait.....and wait...with no TT, and no Ralston, how does this team score goals. The rookies can't do it. Dube can't do it consistantly, and Nyassi can't cross the ball.
The MLS Designated Player Arms Race
Photos by Howard C. Smith/ISIphotos.com Designated Players are being signed, rumors are flying, and some of the sports biggest names appear to be heading to Major League Soccer. Yes, the times are changing. Thanks to new MLS rules that allow teams to sign as many as three Designated Players...
Totally agree. There not on vacation. They should not be spending any mental energy on "whats twitter saying". They want to share an experience, then they should talk amoungst themselfs and allow the USSOCCER.com to do the sharing for them.
BTW - Ives, I think your assessment of Spector was a bit harsh. He did struggle a bit but that counter atack was not all his fault. If you look at the cover at that time you see Landon stepped way up on the right when he switched sides, and both Goodson and his partner were way left and no one thought to cover for Spector when he made his run. He should have made a better pass to finish his run but I can't fault him for that counter, he at least made a great recovery run back to his own 18 to try and help out.
Memorial Day Ticker: USA arrives in South Africa, Mourinho unveiled in Madrid and more
Happy Memorial Day folks. It's a long weekend to enjoy some vacation time and take advantage of some great weather, but for those of you still needing your soccer news fix, here are some tidbits: The U.S. men's national team has arrived in South Africa today, two days after its promising 2-1...
What? Beasley as a starter. A player who hasn't seen a decent streatch of games all year, who had a mediocre game against mediocre competition on Tuesday. Where is the coolaid?
-----Altidore-----Dempsey------
Donovan------Feilhaber------Holden
------------Bradley-------------
Boca----Demerit----Gooch----Specter
----------Timmy--------------------
Then sub Torres in in 2nd half for Feilhaber
and Buddle/Gomez for Altidore
Who should the USMNT start vs. Turkey?
Photo by John Todd/ISIphotos.com The first chance for Bob Bradley to trot out his first choice starting lineup before the World Cup comes on Saturday against Turkey in Philadelphia. Just what that lineup will be is the big question. There are questions all over the field, from the striker p...
Watched the little "inside the lines" training video that USSOCCER posted this morning. Three observations
1) Dempsey and Donovan are the teams best finishers
2) Feilhaber looked good, and is clearly the most technically gifted midfielder.
3) Gomez, Altidore, and Ching looked awful, balls stuck in thier feet, couldn't find the net 1v1 with goalie.
Altidore confident as World Cup looms large
Photo by Howard C. Smith/ISIphotos.com By FRANCO PANIZO It is no secret that the U.S. national team's forward position is in a state of flux, and although a handful of strikers are fighting for their World Cup lives, Jozy Altidore isn't one of them. Just 20-years old, Altidore is heading int...
I have to ask teh same question. I like Rogers, but as a creative left sided player is Adu better. My guess is that FA still lacks the Defensive dicipline that Rogers has shown, and Rogers is biger, stronger, and maybe faster. So on that I guess I can see the rationale. Kjlestan confuses me. He barely competes in the MLS, what gives Bob the indication that he will compete on teh global level. And do I have to say.....Beasley? Why. Has anyone noticed he isn't playing for Rangers? And his latest USMNT apperances have been abismal. I hope he doesn't make the 23. So I can live with more positive mempories of DMB.
USA announces 30-man provisional World Cup roster
Charlie Davies' quest to make the U.S. World Cup team appears over, but the dream is alive for 30 others. Davies was not named to the U.S. team's 30-man provisional World Cup roster. Herculez Gomez and Edson Buddle did make the list, as did Eddie Johnson. U.S. national team head coach Bob Brad...
I don'g get Gilberto Silva, Elano, Julio Baptista, and even Robinho over Ronaldinho. He has found his form at Milan, and who can create better than him. I think Dunga has announced he will "defend" his way through the final, and look for quick counter attacks. Sound familiar. Well at least someone learned something from Confederations Cup!
World Cup Preliminary Roster Day
Call it the day before THE day. Today marks the deadline for teams to submit their 30-player provisional World Cup rosters. These are the squads from which 23 players will be chosen on June 1 to represent their countries at next month's World Cup. The U.S. national team's preliminary roster ...
