With Tim Chandler not fit, new USMNT boss Jurgen Klinsmann has called in FC Dallas defender Zach Loyd to take his place.

Jurgen Klinsmann’s first US National Team roster has been announced and really there aren’t too many shockers listed here.

Mexican federation President Decio de Maria basically said the money wasn’t there for the country to do a good enough bid right now. First of all the…[continue reading]

A lot of talk has gone on today and last night really about the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying standings at this point. I know I made a bigger deal out of the standings a couple days ago and I still stand by my thoughts about how I think the US are still fine even with…[continue reading]

To say I am not disappointed would be lying. I am a bit disappointed in not pulling out the draw today but one thing I do know is soccer is never a kind sport when you want it to be. Excuses aside though we should be very thankful that the US showed up and play…[continue reading]
