Texas...umm...USA vs. Ghana Open Thread
Since all the blokes at Pitchmen are in full blown hooliganism/urine bomb mode, I'll go ahead and light this candle. As for me, I'm dressing up like George Washington and grilling hot dogs. My wife's cooking an apple pie. Daughter is sewing an American flag. And my boys are outside selling blue...
CHN Links: Thursday Edition
Good morning, Toon Army. I'm rooting for England and USA today, but I'm predicting the 2018 World Cup will be in Spain and Portugal while 2022 will be in Qatar.Steven Taylor sits on a brick wall - because he's a defender and he's a brick wall!

USA v. England Open Game Thread
The United States will open up their world play today at 2:30 against the mighty power of England. The United States--who will be hoping to get out of the group stages since for the first time since 2002--start off the World Cup with a bang. I don't care if you think soccer is stupid (cough, Jim,...
Quick Review: Sounders fall 4-0 to Galaxy
UPDATE: Quotes are here. With a score like that, it seems foolhardy to bother looking for positives.

So it appears that one Landon Donovan has finally arrived on the world stage in a way that he never could have when he wore a Galaxy kit or playing with Becks. Since he arrived in Liverpool and put on the Everton shirt, he has been a difference maker, the team is on a roll with him in their...
How strong is MLS compared to other Leagues? Updated Methodology x2
An intriguing topic to so many who follow MLS is just how good is this league? I commonly refer to it as between the 15-25 range, but that is a wide range, and highly subjective. Without the Holy Grail of statistics finding a unified number across leagues though can there be an objective study on...
Victory in Krakow
I didn't get to see enough of the USA/Poland match to write a full match report, but I just wanted to come on here to quickly point out how great our defense looked against a quality European team. It wasn't enough for Bocanegra and Onyewu to just shut down every one of Poland's attacks, they also...
