    35 years ago today (again)

    The first World Cup final I watched live was 35 years ago today. I was a diehard Argentina fan for all of a few weeks and was ready to watch the final on Channel 11 in Atlanta.

    How to Measure Growth: 3 Stats to Judge if the USMNT Has Improved Since July 2019

    by Bart Keeler The United States and Mexico will forever be compared as the two biggest teams in Concacaf. Despite Mexico needing a playoff win to make the 2014 World Cup and the U.S. missing the 2018 World Cup altogether, these two nations are indisputably the most successful in the region. Because of that, the U.S. men’s national team will be judged on their performance against El Tri. Head coach Gregg Berhalter lost his first matchup against Mexico 1-0 in the 2019 Concacaf

    It’s Time to Win for USMNT, Berhalter

    by Bart Keeler The Concacaf Nations League is a bit of a weird tournament. Despite a large break in the action after the group stages due to the coronavirus pandemic, we’ve arrived at the finals.
