USMNT, Mexico Notch Wins
In the frontera region, there were two international friendlies last night. The U.S. Men's National Team defeated Panama 1-0 in Panama City to conclude the annual "Camp Cupcake," while Mexico defeated Venezuela 3-1 in Houston. Both North American teams and their fans are happy with the results,...
Preview: USMNT vs. Panama, Mexico vs. Venezuela
International off-calendar friendly season is wrapping up, and tonight there are two matches you may be particularly interested in.

United States v Venezuela: Friendly Gamethread
The January friendlies are usually for the hardest of die hards.

He has been nationalizing industries, shutting down dissidents, and jailing all kinds of people he just does not like. Now, he has turned his attention to golf. The New York Times reports that Chavez has...
Washington Nationals In The World Baseball Classic, And Stephen Strasburg On Our Minds...
