It’s a Matter of Approach For The USMNT

The are some inevitabilities when watching the current United States Men's National team. Jonathan Bornstein will be responsible for a goal every other game. He will make one major mistake against an elite opponent, and 1-out-of-2 times it will be a goal. He has a 0.5 goals against average. There will be some who will make excuses or spread the blame around, but in the end, a goal will be the direct result of Jonathan Bornstein. It's best to come to terms with this now, not this summer. It's not the only constant. An important player is bound to get injured every other game as well. And finally... A... 

How Much Is Winning a World Cup Actually Worth? Happiness Over Money?

How much is winning a World Cup actually worth? This year, it would seem, that it is more valuable than ever. But is money more important than happiness? When measuring economies these days two factors are generally considered, money and happiness. A "Happiness Index" is a tool that has been developed to measure the gross national happiness of a country, and in recent times it has become a more accurate tool than by measuring the old GDP.

England: What Can Fabio Do?

Every boy across the land dreams of scoring the winning goal in the World Cup before holding it aloft in front of millions of adoring fans. Since Fabio Capello took charge of England and turned them from Euro flops to World beaters it seemed a dream that might come true for John Terry. When the World Cup groups we announced, England's odds were rapidly slashed as they became third favourites to win the FIFA World Cup, and no one could argue with that. However, since we have entered World Cup year it seems Fabio Capello has ran out of luck, and he has been abruptly woken from his England dream and... 

England Vs. Egypt: The History

England welcome Egypt to Wembley on Wednesday night for their first fixture of 2010.   Fabio Capello will send his Three Lions team out for the first time in just under four months against the North African side who retained their African Cup of Nations title for the third consecutive time earlier this year.   That success in Angola in January saw Egypt rise to 10th place in the FIFA World Rankings, their highest ever position since the rankings were introduced in the early 1990’s as they became only the second ever African side to break into the Top-10.   However, their World Cup Qualifying... 

Fabio Capello Calls on Ryan Shawcross and Leighton Baines for Egypt Friendly

Ryan Shawcross and Leighton Baines were the two new names included in the England squad when Fabio Capello announced his selection on Saturday night for this week’s game against Egypt.   Just hours earlier the Stoke City defender had hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons when he left the field in tears after having been sent off for a challenge which broke Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey’s right leg. Everton’s Baines was included alongside Aston Villa’s Stephen Warnock to compete for the left-back spot left vacant by Ashley Cole’s injury and Wayne Bridge’s decision to make himself...

Bradley’s Netherland’s Selection Makes Perfect Sense

While fans and analysts may have been dismayed by the come-from-behind 2-1 U.S. victory over El Salvador Wednesday night, the result seems to have made things a little bit clearer for Bob Bradley. Bradley has announced his 20 man roster for the upcoming match against the Dutch on Wednesday, March 3, and based on his call-ups, it appears that Bradley has a good sense of what he has at his disposal and what to expect from his options, both those included and those that did not make the final cut. Of those left off the roster, the most glaring omission is Brian Ching. After offering a quality finish...
