Under Jürgen Klinsmann, U.S. Soccer Finally Plays The Beautiful Game
Yesterday, the U.S. Men's National Team beat Panama, 1-0, to clinch their fifth Gold Cup. It was a strange match because it was a tough match.

Cowboys Stadium Is A Horrible Place To Host Soccer
The Gold Cup semifinals will be held tomorrow at Cowboys Stadium, and if early photos are any indication, it's going to be an embarrassing shitshow for everyone involved. How bad? That photo is a pile of green sand to cover up the holes in the grass....

This Goal Is The Most American Goal That Has Ever Been Scored, Probably
The United States played Costa Rica last night in what proved to be the US men's national team's first competitive match so far in the Gold Cup. And for 82 minutes, the game sucked.

Should Costa Rica's Keeper Have Been Given A Red Card?

Chris Wondolowski Keeps Letter From Misspelled Jersey, Is The Best

Cuba Takes First Lead On U.S. In Eight Years With Brilliant Goal
This sliding volley from José Ciprian Alfonso gave Cuba a 1-0 lead over the United States in today's Gold Cup match. It was Cuba's first lead over the U.S. in a match in eight years, and it lasted about 10 minutes before Landon Donovan equalized on a penalty kick....
Three Belize Players Claim They Were Approached About Fixing USA Match
