Ross County F.C. v. Raith Rovers F.C. (Saturday) Can they make it ten in a row in all competitions?

United States v. Costa Rica (Friday) Though I always hope for a USMNT win, the outcome of this match- and probably the one against Belgium that follows it- is only of secondary importance. The primary function of these matches is for Jurgen Klinsmann to continue to evaluate the talent pool from which he will have [...]

Dallas (Saturday) It was announced late this week that New England’s Marko Petrovic has had season-ending knee surgery- will this be enough to force the Revolution to go out and get the play-maker and/or goal scorer that they so desperately need to compete in MLS?

There are few managers in the world with the pedigree of Otto Pfister. The former FC Köln and FC Vaduz player/manager has managed 20 teams since 1963 in a career that’s spanned from Europe to the Middle East to Africa. His trophy cabinet is well stocked, but it’s with trophies from competitions you’ve probably never [...]
