Studio 90 From Denmark

The Offside Rules 17 November @ 12:02 PM EST
You know how when you are really, really cold --so cold that you don't even shiver-- you just get so still that if you are not talking you might be mistaken for dead? I think that's what's going on here with Kammarman. Dude looks like he is in real pain. Somebody get that man a parka. Click to continue reading...

Scotland: Help Us Stuart Holden, You're Our Only Hope

The Offside Rules 16 November @ 10:59 AM EST
What do you guys think? Should there be a concert effort to get the Scottish football following public behind Scotsman Stuart Holden and the U.S. at the World Cup? Or is it too hokey to play the ethnic card? Discuss. Click to continue reading...

Video: Behind the Scenes of U.S.-Honduras

The Offside Rules 28 October @ 12:16 PM EST
Behind the scenes video and pitch-side highlights from the U.S.-Honduras match aka The Phantom Qualifier. U.S. is getting better & better at these...keep 'em coming Kammerman. Click to continue reading...

Lando Is Player of the Year

The Offside Rules 20 October @ 04:01 PM EST
Again. Jozy was never really in the running but Timmy might have a case for Grand Theft Accolade. Click to continue reading...

Robbie Rogers: "No one likes to lose, not in training, not in a game of cards, not anything."

The Offside Rules 19 October @ 01:26 PM EST
Fanhouse's Brian Strauss tracked down Robbie Rogers a.k.a The Ohio Player to get his thoughts on qualifying, Bobby Blue Eyes and mortality. It's a pretty good read; if I'm using the Irvine Welsh Scale Of Readable Texts™ I'd say it's better than Glue but not nearly as brilliant/messed up as Filth. Click to continue reading...

Video: One on One with Stuey Holden

The Offside Rules 16 October @ 01:19 PM EST
See, I like this kid. He can play a 'lil ball but he's also funny and can talk a little trash. Brian Ching on the hand might not be too fond of him though after this interview. Click to continue reading...

LA Times Says What We're All Thinking: Who'll Partner With Jozy

The Offside Rules 15 October @ 03:15 PM EST
Read this piece in the LA Times about Charlie Davies being "irreplaceable". Note the conspicuous absence of The Striker Who's Name Shall Not Be Spoken™. If ever there was a time for him to get his ass in gear and remind all of us that he used to be somebody, this is it. Click to continue reading...

On Equal Signs and Equalizers

The Offside Rules 14 October @ 09:15 PM EST
Love = the photo above.
Guts = willing an equalizer when you're down a man in the 95th minute.
Greatness = this game. Click to continue reading...

U.S.-Costa Rica Pre-Game With Harkesy

The Offside Rules 14 October @ 04:51 PM EST
ESPN and Johnny Harkes with a look at Team USA and where their heads are at ahead of tonight's closing qualifier. This sh*t is going to be waaay emo and I'm not talking about My Chemical Romance or any other band of boys wearing girls jeans. I ain't gonna lie...if they don't get me in the pre-game I'll probably be a beery, teary mess during the 9th minute. Click to continue reading...

Show Your Love For Charlie Davies

The Offside Rules 14 October @ 10:32 AM EST
In a show of support for Chuck D. and in solidarity with The Baltimore Brigade, and a number of other bloggers & tweeters out there in the American soccersphere, I'm encouraging anyone attending tonight's match vs. Costa Rica at RFK to print one of these out and hold it aloft in the 9th minute.

Get Friendly: Yanks vs. Danes in November

The Offside Rules 13 October @ 10:15 AM EST
Is there is no rest for the World Cup-bound? In addition to tomorrow night's qualifier finale against Costa Rica, the Yanks will march on to Aarhus in November for a friendly versus Denmark on the 18th. There is also talk of matches in the spring against the Dutch and the English...to which I say "bring it". Click to continue reading...

Hey Aretha, Can Conor Casey Borrow a Wee Bit of Your R.E.S.P.E.C.T?

The Offside Rules 12 October @ 12:48 PM EST
Event though Conor Casey only one goal behind Jeff "The Jet" Cunningham and scored a brace at Honduras he's still gets no love. It's kind of a shame but since, according the vaunted Reagan-era pop artist & relationship expert Patricia Benatar, "love is a battlefield" I guess that's not all bad. Click to continue reading...

Video: The Yanks Arrive in Honduras

The Offside Rules 09 October @ 01:19 PM EST
Them Yankee boys are off the plane and in country. But judging by the amount of guns and journalists around it's not another country, it's another world; no matter how much you follow the American game, sometimes you forget what the game is like in the rest of the world.

Feilhaber's 09 Is Like Waaaaaaay Better Than His 08

The Offside Rules 09 October @ 11:29 AM EST
They say Benny Feilhaber is having a breakout year for both club & country. Who's they you say? SBI. As I have no idea what the hell he's doing in Denmark --and let's be honest here, without actually seeing his games on TV who does-- I'll just take their word for it. As for his performance with the nats I'd say he has been quite good but not standout to me; I think if I were "Blue Eyes" Bradley I would start Stu Holden ahead of him in Dempsey absence and maybe bring him in off the bench late tomorrow night.

Video: U.S. vs Honduras Press Pass Preview

The Offside Rules 08 October @ 01:57 PM EST
Enjoy the preview from ESPN because you certainly aren't going to see the game on ESPN (or anywhere else without a cover charge). If you are in LA though may I recommend you get down with the Galaxy's viewing party at the Off Campus Pub in Carson, one of only two venue's in SoCal that will be carrying the game (and the only one in English).

Have I Done a Jozy Post This Week?

The Offside Rules 28 September @ 01:34 PM EST
No? Not yet? Well here you go then. Chuck Culpepper of "Bloddy Confused"-fame caught up with The Boy King of New York & Jersey™ over a Trans-Atlantic telephone line and turned in a tale of imported BMW's, late-night Lakers games on TV and the American dream. If you have the time or don't feel like working, give it a read at LATimes. Click to continue reading...

Video: Behind the Scenes of U.S.-TNT

The Offside Rules 28 September @ 01:25 PM EST
More behind the scenes dopeness from U.S. Soccer. This time we get to see what it was really like down in TNT. I love how they get there clothes laid out for them before the game like it's the 1st day of school; very nice of the Fed to let all of their moms travel with the team. Click to continue reading...

Hull City Magazine's Quasi-Exclusive Jozy Altidore Interview

The Offside Rules 24 September @ 01:37 PM EST
The October issue of City Magazine, the official glossy mag of Hull City AFC, has a nice, semi-exclusive interview with Jozy Altidore that you should check out if you've got the time and inclination. I say semi-exclusive because they've given it over to TheOffside.com so it's not really as exclusive as they say it is. Click to continue reading...

Get Yo Scrilla Right With Landon Donovan

The Offside Rules 23 September @ 11:00 PM EST
Never listen to your cousin Pookie when it comes to how to stack your paper. That combination carwash/hookah bar in Van Nuys that he wants you to invest in just isn't the best idea. In years past, Wu-Tang Financial would have been the go-to guys but their portfolio just isn't as attractive as it once was (Seen any Wu-Wear stores lately? Click to continue reading...

The Future of U.S. According to Lando

The Offside Rules 23 September @ 02:56 PM EST
Listen closely at around the 1:13 mark. Is someone or something (a rented mule perhaps) getting whipped in the background? Where was this interview conducted? A leather bar? Click to continue reading...

DaMarcus Beasley Is The New Jacob The Jeweler

The Offside Rules 20 September @ 06:38 PM EST
My dude Leroi just pointed out to me that our DaMarcus is diversifying his sh*t and getting into the diamond game. And why not? If he didn't do it, you know EJ would have. Click to continue reading...

Video: PressPass's Weekly American's Abroad Thingy

The Offside Rules 15 September @ 09:21 AM EST
Janusz and some British man discussing the most recent exploits of the U.S. men's national team members and other Americans outsourced to Europe. Janusz mentions twice that he thinks that Deuce puts in his best performances for his club instead of his country. Hunh.
He also mentions Eddie Johnson. Click to continue reading...

Video: Bob Bradley's Post TNT Comments

The Offside Rules 10 September @ 08:10 AM EST
Personally I think the daring of the TNT Federation should be acknowledged for painting the gay rainbow on the locker room wall. You don't see that too much in pro sports; very progressive. Click to continue reading...

Lando on TNT "Don't Overlook This Team"

The Offside Rules 09 September @ 04:41 PM EST
Them Yankee boys aren't sleeping on the Soca Warriors and you shouldn't either. We'll find out in a little over an hour's time but I'm not thinking this is going to be as easy of a walk as it was when these two met in Nashvegas a 'lil while back. Buckle up boys and girls, it's carnival time. Click to continue reading...

USMNT: Powered By Howard

The Offside Rules 09 September @ 07:25 AM EST
You like that? TOR reader/masochist Aaron Rutsay knocked this out a while back for us and I think it would look great on a t-shirt, car bumper, banner or subway car. Feel free to download a large size of this image and spread the matchday Howard Power as you see fit.
As for our Timmy, he's taking no chances tonight in TNT. Click to continue reading...
