Um, you should probably read this, especially if you have any interest in US Soccer or Major League Soccer. Basically, former USMNT player and Fox Soccer analyst Eric Wynalda gets all out of character and speaks his mind and pulls his punches at the recent NSCAA Convention in a lecture cleverly titled “Why Not US.” Go ahead.

Spain is trying to conquer the world again. This time, they might succeed.
The U.S. soccer landscape is changing. A new level of sophistication is on the horizon in the U.S. soccer fashion market. We recently wrote a piece about Toronto F.C.’s collaboration with famed designer Dirk Bikkembergs. Well, we may have our own Dirk right here in New York City (a small town on the outskirts of Harrison, NJ). Stephen Wong is the Founder and Creative Director of WONG WONG, a design collective inspired by football and fashion. For us, soccer is so many things: style, fashion, versatility and humor.
