SoccerWire.com down for maintenance on Saturday night: Our website, SoccerWire.com, will be down for maintenance starting Saturday night at approximately 10pm ET. The site will likely be offline for several hours, but we'll be back and running (faster) early Sunday morning. Thank you for your patience! Asking the tough but honest question about Jurgen Klinsmann's USMNT: And so it's come time to sift through the blazing wreckage of the United States men's national team CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign, which crashed and burned when a gamely Jamaican side bounced the Americans in Wednesday's semifinals. Yahoo Sports asks whether the U.S. Men have progressed or regressed under Klinsmann's tenure. American ref Mark Geiger under fire as Mexico wins controversial Gold Cup semi: Mark Geiger made headlines in 2014 when he was named as one of the referees for the 2014 World Cup. After Wednesday night, however, the headlines about him are much, much more negative. Geiger was the referee on the pitch for Panama's match against Mexico in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, a game that nearly saw Panama pull off the upset. But a few calls from the New Jersey native handed Mexico a victory. Red Bulls Academy products shine in 4-2 win over Chelsea FC: The New York Red Bulls player development program was on full display Wednesday night, as Red Bulls Academy products netted all four goals in a 4-2 win over English Premier League Champions Chelsea FC in the International Champions Cup, an annual event in which top European clubs tour the United States. |
