Better, but not great. Spain comes out victorious 1-0.
Spain played well, at times showing the class that makes this team one of the best in the world. The US played fairly well also…at least in the first half.
The US started the game will a little bit more swagger than they showed in the game against [...]

Pearce—Bocanegra—Onyewu——Cherundolo

It looks to be a 4-2-3-1, which is essential a 4-5-1. I’m happy to see Adu get the start, and hopefully he will provide a creative spark in the midfield. Bradley and Edu will have to work hard to keep Cesc Fabregas from doing much damage. This is a line up that could take it [...]
Josmer “Jozy” Altidore has transfered from MLS side New York Red Bulls to Spain’s Villarreal.
It has been reported that Altidore commanded an $8 million transfer fee, which would make him the highest player sold from MLS to Europe, breaking previous record holder Clint Dempsey .
There is no doubt that Altidore is true prospect at forward. [...]
Jose Mourinho has signed a three-year deal to be manager of Inter Milan in Italy’s Serie A.
What does this mean? It means that the self proclaimed “special one” has finally landed at a club after his September 2007 exit from Chelsea. It means that Roman Abramovich and the Chelsea front office needs to worry about [...]
David Beckham has been picked by England coach Fabio Capello to captain the team in their friendly against Trinidad & Tobago. This news comes almost 2 years after Beckham voluntarily relinquished the captaincy of the English national team.
I know some people might think I may be overly in support of Beckham, but in my opinion, [...]

Where do I begin? Disappointed. 2-0 loss to England.
England played well. The Americans played bad. I hate to say this, but it seems that England is still in a class above the US. Which isn’t that great considering even though England played well, they themselves haven’t been that great lately, and this performance hardly merits [...]
On Wednesday, May 28th, the United States national team will face off against the England national team at Wembley Stadium in London.
I have to say, this is a game that I can not wait to see! The US, under coach Bob Bradley, has managed to string together a few victories on European soil (something that [...]
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed his intent to retire from the club within 3 years. His reasons: time for himself, and time for his wife.
Ferguson has had 22 majestic years at the legendary club, and while Ferguson leaves the door open to leave before he reaches the 25 year milestone, I fully [...]
A Game for the Ages!
I figured it was about time that I write about the UEFA Champions League Final. Manchester United vs Chelsea. An all English Final. The Drama. The Pageantry. The Game.
1-1 after 90 minutes. 1-1 after 120 minutes. 6-5 on penalty kicks to Manchester United!
I start by thanking all the players and both [...]
