US Squad Completes Second Training Session in Chicago
The rumble of freight trains, the rattle of trucks traversing the adjacent Harlem Avenue and the peculiar scent of corn starch (manufactured by the ton nearby) may not be the ideal setting for soccer training. But Chicago did cooperate with unusually spectacular October weather. So it was that with a temperature tipping to the...
Klinsmann Explains Why He Didn’t Take US National Team Job
Seems Jurgen Klinsmann was thisclose to being named the new USA head coach not once, but twice in the last four years. The California based ex-Germany manager was favourite to succeed Bruce Arena after the 2006 World Cup, until Bob Bradley was announced as interim and then perma-coach. Same thing just last month, with what...

Seems those recent Jürgen Klinsmann to coach USA rumours were as baseless as, well, as a story with no identifiable source. Because current coach Bob Bradley has now signed a contract extension to coach the US national team until the end of 2014. I know that this probably will not be popular with a vocal...
Jürgen Klinsmann Talking to U.S. Soccer Again?
ESPN started a rumour this weekend, and I can’t help spreading it. Apparently Jürgen Klinsmann has been talking with U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati about replacing Bob Bradley as coach of the U.S. national team. That’s “according to a source with knowledge of the discussions” anyway. As opposed to a source with no knowledge of...

Fulham’s forgotten American, Eddie Johnson, is already making headlines ahead of the new season. Not only did the American score in Fulham’s first preseason friendly against Brentford, but now he is throwing Bob Bradley’s hat in the ring to take over for the departed Roy Hodgson.

Fulham to unveil manager by weekend
It didn’t take Roy Hodgson long to jet off to Liverpool after incredibly guiding Fulham to the Europa League final in May. Ever since then, the Cottagers have been looking for an adequate replacement and a few weeks ago, former West Ham boss Alan Curbishley declared that his odds of landing the position would be very...
