Good afternoon folks. I know we just had an SBI Live Q&A on Monday, but there's plenty to talk about in the soccer world and I have an hour to spare before I cover tonight's Netherlands-Uruguay World Cup semifinal.
Want to talk World Cup, European transfer rumors or MLS? Let's do it.
Fire your questions my way (Today's Q&A is after the jump):
Tyler Boyd’s second league goal for Turkish side Sivasspor played an important part in the club earning a 2-2 draw with second place Galatasaray on Sunday. It also helped his parent club Besiktas, who (…)
Erik Palmer-Brown returned to the pitch for Austria Vienna on Sunday and helped deliver a strong defensive performance by the team against rivals Rapid Vienna. Palmer-Brown returned from injury to play 90 (…)
Josh Sargent looks to be finding his goalscoring form at the right time for Werder Bremen, who moved a step closer to Bundesliga survival on Sunday. Sargent scored for the second-consecutive match as Florian (…)
Luca De La Torre’s long wait for his first goal with Eredivisie side Heracles Almelo came to an end on Sunday with the American playing the hero. De La Torre’s diving header in the 93rd minute proved to be the (…)
Taylor Booth and Brenden Aaronson went head-to-head on Sunday with both players contributing in the four-goal match. Booth scored his first goal on loan at SKN St. Poelten while Aaronson delivered the (…)
It was an eventful week in American soccer, between the announcement of a U.S. Men’s National Team opponent, the successful exploits of several Americans Abroad, and controversy striking at U.S. Soccer and (…)
Barnsley’s push for promotion to the English Premier League took another major boost on Saturday with Daryl Dike playing the hero for the second-tier club. Dike scored the game-winning goal in Barnsley’s (…)
John Brooks and Chris Richards could very well wind up forming the U.S. Men’s National Team sooner than later, and USMNT fans will have the chance to see them square off against each other when Brooks’ (…)
The final 20-man roster for the U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team’s Olympic qualifying campaign is set to be decided next week, and Jason Kreis still has some tough decisions to make as he puts his squad (…)
Borussia Dortmund will face off against its biggest rival on Saturday, and the team will do so without Giovanni Reyna. Reyna is one of three players that did not travel with the squad to Munich ahead of this (…)
enjoyed both of the last two sessions even though I wasn’t able to participate. Thanks for dealing with the turdballs that get rolled up in such a big process.
Civil War much? I don’t know how to be any more cryptic while getting this point across…
Exactly. I’m a southern boy and yankee is a regional term that I have no desire to get behind. And why would anyone out west care? Northeast bias, plain and simple.
Just a heads up, the cover it live widget doesn’t work on ipads ;). Love the site!!
Klinsman rant with respect to the Americans suspect first touch does not exclude Josimer…I know it hurts to hear that.
Southerners, guys…to them “yankees” are northerners. To us northerners, Yankee is in reference to the English.
Who on this site hasn’t asked that question? Be patient, the World Cup isn’t even over yet.
What’s up with the ever-increasing number of questions posed by the supposed person in question? Maybe it’s just me, but it’s pretty lame.
Is there an explanation for why Uraguay does not sport Stars above their crest on their jerseys? I know they have won two World Cups haven’t they?>??
I don’t get it either RK but there are several comments in Ives’ Q/A over the past couple sessions that indicate enough people are… Probably kids who didn’t pay attention in the high school history classes… Who knows?
People get upset by this? Upset by “Yanks Abroad”?
Maybe the BEST thing Ives has EVER written (in a long line of good writing I might add):
[In response to a jackass question about how the USA “failed”]
“Listen my friend, who says USA “was supposed to win” against Ghana? They could have won, and it was close, but you’re inflated sense of entitlement and utter disregard for the abilities of other countries doesn’t make your rage over your own expectations for the national team any more understandable. That game was disappointing because there was a sense of a missed opportunity, but I personally think you’re nuts if you’re calling this World Cup for the USA a failure.”
It just needed to be said again.
Ok, this question has to be asked: Is Bradley going to be retained? If not, who’s going to be our new coach?
Do you see Benny Feilhaber making a switch? He was instant improvement each time he came into the game in the WC. I would think he could move up a few leagues from where he was.
Ives, this is why you’re the man.
For all you people who are offended or don’t understand the term Yanks and why we should embrace it I will give you a short history lesson. Originally the British used the short rhyme to mock our pre-revoluntionary troops after the 7 years war and going into the Revolution. Then our soldiers and citizenry turned the words around to mock the british and it stuck.
Go to any search engine and type in Yankee Doodle Dandy and you can get a full explaination. But if you trust me then know that I embrace the term and am PROUD to be a YANK.
Seems like Joachim Loew contract expired this past wednesday. Sunil should be talking to this guy.
