One of the beautiful things about soccer is that the fun never ends. Sure, the World Cup might be over, but there is no need to break into a cold sweat, turn off all the lights, and wait for the helicopters to arrive and take you away. Dig deep and fight the end of mundial…

Mexico will try to put the pieces together against the Ivory Coast at the Meadowlands in their FIFA Friendly match. The game has become a lightning rod for a number of reasons: can Jose Manuel "Chepo" de la Torre loosen up; who replaces an injured Chicharito; and, of course, the one that has eclipsed every…

Happy Mexican Independence Day! It was on this day two hundred years ago that Mexico forfeited the 2010 World Cup title. Adam Serrano at Major League Soccer Soccer introduces us to Miguel Ángel Ponce, a potential US national team left back – well, sort of. In case Jonathan Bornstein was sweating his spot: This is…

For many many years, minor league soccer in the US of A was quite literally the private personal property of USL (nee USISL) President-for-Life Francisco Marcos.

When Derek Rae said "Nigel de Jong, son of a…", I would have ended the sentence differently than "former Netherlands international." Speaking of shameful sons – I'd like to apologize to everyone for celebrating Giuseppe Rossi being dropped from the World Cup squad. If he had made…

The Mexican National team has returned from their week long retreat in Avándaro (Valle de Bravo), where 4 players at one point were held out of practice due to muscle tweaks or muscle fatigue. Javier Hernández, Miguel Sabah, Efra

I don't know what's more ridiculous: Kei Kamara whiffing a ball that is literally on the goal line or him arguing with the referee over whether he pushed it across with his arm. Either way, bringing Kamara back was a stroke of genius; MLS needs all the comedy it can get. On Thursday night, Seattle…
