USA vs Guatemala, Next Wednesday Night

Filed under: Guatemala, US National Team, World Cup Qualifying

The USMNT takes on Guatemala in a WCQ next Wednesday night from Commerce City, CO.  On ESPN2 at 8pm EST.

My main man, Shogun, reviews all the USA matches on his cell phone, and he described the last US-Guatemala match in August pretty accurately.

The U.S. national soccer team will play Sweden on Jan. 24, most likely at the Home Depot Center in Carson and possibly as part of a doubleheader featuring Mexico and another Scandinavian team.

Such a great guy and this is no joke, trust me.  I’ve seen this up close many a morning, afternoon and night with Frankie.

Paul Caligiuri v Trinidad and Tobago

Filed under: Trinidad & Tobago, US National Team, USA


With the US National team playing down in Trinidad tonight, I couldn’t help but bring up this goal. Without doubt our boy Paul’s goal changed soccer in the United States. Without this goal the US doesn’t qualify for Italia 90, which means the US doesn’t host the World Cup, which was a huge catalyst for getting MLS off the ground. So this goal is a monumental goal.

Crazy that 19 years after this goal, the US is back in T&T, having already qualified for the Hexagonal allowing the next generation of US players the opportunity to get some experience. The sport has come a long way here in the US, both on and off the field and what kind of growth lies ahead is exciting. We still have a long way to go in a lot of areas with the sport, but every once in a while I think it’s important to sit back and applaud how far the sport has come here.

Halftime USA vs Cuba

Filed under: Supporters, US National Team

And another look from TOW reader Jeff’s point of view.


Hopefully more and more MLS supporter groups will start getting involved with coordinated each individual city for future USMNT games, especially for the upcoming stage of Qualifiers.

Cooper Invited to USMNT, But…

Filed under: FCD, Kenny Cooper, Trinidad & Tobago, US National Team

Kenny Cooper was invited to the USMNT camp to prepare for Trinidad and Tobago, but instead will be staying with FC Dallas to get healthy and prepare for the big game at RSL. KC speaks…

“…I feel so fortunate and honored to have been invited to join up with the U.S. Men’s National team in Trinidad and Tobago. I made the difficult decision to pass on this opportunity because I had picked up a virus and have been playing with a sprained ankle. Considering the importance of my club’s game versus Real Salt Lake this week, and that the National Team has already clinched a berth in the next round of qualifying, I felt it was the right thing to do to stay in Dallas and make sure I get well, and hopefully there will be other opportunities down the line.”
