As the holiday season approaches and you as an American are bombarded by comments about NFL teams (Green Bay, Tebow, the Lions, Romo, fantasy football etc) it’s important to remember that you are a soccer fan in America. You are…
When news broke today on Twitter about John Harkes being dropped by ESPN for their soccer coverage in 2012, the reaction was quick and loud from American soccer fans. While not everyone was please by fans appearing to “dance on the grave” of the former US Men’s National team player,…
Mr. Matt Matt. Read more about U.S. Soccer trying not to suck at suckyball.wordpress.com. Let’s start here shall we? http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/14/sports/soccer/14gulati.html Team USA’s favorite economics professor spoke about soccer in 2006 and cautioned about the importance of not comparing America’s system to its European counterpart.

Mr. Matt Matt. Read more about U.S. Soccer trying not to suck at suckyball.wordpress.com. To begin with, I’ve been avoiding the World Series for a reason I have a difficult time describing. I know that if the Yankees were in it, I’d watch it. It doesn’t matter that I’m not a native New…

Mr. Matt Matt. Read more about U.S. Soccer trying not to suck at suckyball.wordpress.com. Let me get one thing out of the way: I consider Beckham and Henry prime examples of designated players that MLS considers ‘game changers’ (easy to hype and advertise). But what European stars at that level today would sign…
