Occasionally here at WaB we get emails promoting certain websites or requesting links and sometimes we act on them.  This is one of those times.
A while back I got an email from one of the guys at Soccerpro.com.  Being the huge soccer fan that I am, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try and [...]

Tragedy For USA Soccer

US National Team forward Charlie Davies was injured in a car accident early this morning.  In the one car accident, one person was killed while Davies and another person were seriously injured.  A spokesperson for the Washington Hospital Center Medstar said that Davies had to undergo a lengthy surgery and that his life was not [...]

USA Qualfies for World Cup 2010

For the sixth straight time the United States will be playing in the World Cup Finals.  There were some dramatic moments in their 3-2 victory at Honduras, but the US came out on top, making their game against Costa Rica on Wednesday irrelevant.
The US needed three goals and a late missed penalty kick to put [...]

USA Takes A Big Step

Earlier tonight the US Men’s Soccer Team defeated Trinidad and Tobago 1-0 on a Ricardo Clark second half goal.  After the smoke cleared on tonight’s round of matches the US sits atop the CONCACAF (can we get a shorter name, please?) region with 16 points.  By my amateur, and quite possibly inaccurate, calculations, if the [...]

USA Falls In Mexico

This isn’t going to be a very long post because I had to watch this game on a grainy internet feed at work.  Fail, ESPN.  Epic fail.  By now you know that the Americans fell to 0-23-1 all time in Mexico with today’s 2-1 loss.
The question coming into the game was which US team would [...]

Weekend Update

Bryan and I were both out of town for Fourth of July weekend and weren’t on the internet at all. There were some pretty big things that happened in the world of sports that we feel should be mentioned but didn’t have the opportunity to write full posts on. I’ll just give a quick one [...]

USA Falls to Brazil

I really don’t want to write this because I’m still frustrated about the second half of that game.  The Americans seem to either play brilliantly (see, Spain and Egypt) or fall flat on their faces (see, Costa Rice, Brazil, Italy).  Today, they managed to do both.
The first half was spectacular.  The US hung with Brazil [...]

USA Beats Top-Ranked Spain

What’s up with this team?  First they make a mockery of the game with their play in the losses to Costa Rica, Italy, and Brazil.  Then they dominate Egypt and qualify for the semifinals of the Confederations Cup.  Today, they took on the best team in the world, Spain, and came out victorious.  I think [...]

USA Advances At Confederations Cup

Going into yesterday’s matches at the Confederations Cup, I definitely did not expect to be writing this as a headline.  USA, who had been lackluster at best, needed to beat Egypt by three goals and have Brazil beat the reigning World Cup Champions by at least three to have a chance.  This was the same [...]

USA Sucks Again

I watched the Americans’ second game in the Confederations Cup from work this morning.  I’ve had several hours to let the debacle sink in.  I’ve decided that I can accept losing.  What I cannot accept is not giving effort.  For the last four US games they have shown absolutely no effort what so ever.  They’ve [...]
