The above quote (from the New York Daily News) was give by Landon Donovan, referring to manager Bob Bradley. Two Yellows hinted at a similar sentiment over the weekend; whether or not you like Bradley (and, really, I’m on the fence), you have to acknowledge the fact that the U.S. is going into the last [...]

Today, June 21st, is the summer solstice. On this date, the sun will rise to it’s highest point of the year for everyone north of the Tropic of Cancer; this is the so-called “longest day of the year.” Today is also a marker; it’s the demarcation line that marks the de facto midpoint of the [...]

I don’t know if anyone was on tenterhooks waiting for my response to the debacle that has been England’s 2010 World Cup campaign. If you have been, congratulations, today is that [...]

It’s clear now. I’ve seen it. It stands out so clearly and so brightly that it’s really hard to miss. This current incarnation of the USA Men’s National Team could advance a long, long way in a tournament like the World Cup if people like me, constantly calling for Bob Bradley to play certain players, [...]

The way Germany played against Australia I have a hard time seeing this match ending in anything other than a win for Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft. The Germans played like the young team that they [...]

Normally, when the previous week’s challenge has been a bit too…challenging, I back off and lob you a softball. Not this time. It’s the World Cup, kids, this isn’t the time to make things easy for you. Consider your feet held to the fire!
