- What should the starting lineup look like? You tell us.
- Here are all the scenarios that would see the U.S. advance to the knockout stage. A victory secures the group, crucial considering a second-place finish means a matchup with Brazil.
- For the U.S. to win it all, this still needs to be Abby Wambach's World Cup. Or so says our Noah Davis.
- With the Olympic qualifying tournament a few months away, Brian Sciaretta breaks down what the roster should look like.
- Omar Gonzalez: “I can tell you for a fact right now that those German and Dutch players they weren’t there just to play. They wanted to get a result and show their coach they belong there… It is tough to hear fans and the media trying to dumb this great accomplishment down. It was truly great to see. The players who were out there on the field worked their asses off for it.”
