In their eyes they want to give some of the smaller sides a bit of a chance against some of the…[continue reading]

I gotta say, not a bad showing for the US last night in Nashville. A cool 3-zip win over Trinidad and Tobago keeps the US at the top of the standings in the CONCACAF hexagonal. Most will still say that three games in the US should have nine points but seven isn’t too bad either,…[continue reading]

CONCACAF announced a list of 13 different cities that will play host to CONCACAF Gold Cup matches this summer.

One thing I do enjoy is an international fixture date. Loads of games and lots of interesting storylines. Today is just that day around the world as countries from all over take part in another round of World Cup qualifying matches. Aside from the CONCACAF fun there are some great matches across the pond, particularly…[continue reading]

So far, no surprises in the CONCACAF qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. After two games the usual ‘Big Three’ lead their respective groups and the teams behind them aren’t really a shocker either. Two teams we thought would do better this time around in qualifying have a combine two points. Those two I’m talking…[continue reading]
