June 24, 2016 by US Soccer Players

It's the day before the final match day for the USMNT at the Copa Centenario. 3rd-place is on the line against Colombia (9pm ET - FX) along with restoring a bit of pride after the loss to Argentina. Whether or not that influences coach Jurgen Klinsmann's lineup and tactics is an open question. Without suspensions, there's every reason to believe Klinsmann would've stuck with the same starting . . .

Mexico is stuck in the same pattern

June 22, 2016 by Luis Bueno

By Luis Bueno – RIVERSIDE, CA (Jun 22, 2016) US Soccer Players - We were all fooled. For years, Mexico looked like a burgeoning power, a National Team one step away from joining the upper crust. Instead, Mexico is the same old team - a collection of players capable of strong performances but because of misguided management from the Federation, destined to fail on the big stage. Mexico’s historic . . .

June 22, 2016 by US Soccer Players

It's the morning after the USMNT's 4-0 loss to Argentina, with multiple attempts to work out what the team can take away from the game. Put out a faster lineup against one of the best teams in the world? Point to the officiating in the quarterfinal? Make more noise about the Copa Centenario's ridiculous travel demands? Focus on what got the USMNT to that semifinal game? Argue for more physicality . . .

Preview: USMNT vs Argentina

June 21, 2016 by US Soccer Players

It's the day we've all been waiting for, if by "waiting for" you mean apprehensively dreading. Well, unless you've fully bought into Jurgen Klinsmann's prefered "warrior" mode. Even then, there's at least the nagging gloom that goes along with trying to forget what happened to that other giant of CONCACAF against a quality CONMEBOL team. Nothing has changed since Saturday night. Argentina still . . .

June 20, 2016 by US Soccer Players

It was already easy enough to look at Argentina and wonder whom the USMNT would face in the 3rd-place game before Chile demolished Mexico on Saturday night. Argentina had barely booked their place in the semifinals of the Copa Centenario before Chile made friends with the back of El Tri's net. All of a sudden, the other favorite was no longer an issue. That leaves Argentina, the world's #1 team, . . .
