The Most Amazing Urban Soccer Fields Around The Country

The world's love of soccer stems from many reasons, but one of the most fundamental tenets of the game is that it can be played by anyone, anywhere and at anytime. If you have a ball, then you have your Theater of Dreams. 

For far too long America remained largely ignorant of this fact — believing that the sport was only played 11-on-11 on the pristine fields of suburban America. Thankfully, that way of thinking has suffered a humiliating death (see: MLS 1.0 to 3.0), and the people's game is now thriving across the country's urban core.

Acabar Con La Maldición Del Número 7, La Gran Tarea De Brian Rodríguez En El América

Todo equipo tiene un número maldito y en el Club América ese número es el 7.

Desde que el argentino Claudio "Piojo" Lopez lo dejara colgado en el vestuario lleno de gloria en 2006, todos aquellos que tuvieron la valentía de usar el dorsal pasaron por Coapa sin crear momentos memorables o dignos para la afición.

Sin embargo, pese a su infausto destino, no falta el futbolista que intenta probar su suerte y ver si es capaz de romper el embrujo.

Hoy ese hombre es Brian Rodríguez.

Americans Abroad: 3 Players Ready For Qatar And 2 Who Look Lost

Another week, another opportunity to explore the depths to which I will exploit recency bias. Is Leadership Council member Christian Pulisic really being left off the plane or is that just a crutch for article formatting? Is Jesse Marsch a traitor to his nation for taking off Brenden Aaronson before full-time? Is Joe Scally the defensive infiltrator we've been having sleepless nights about?

It's only 25 days until the USMNT plays a friendly against Japan in Germany, and Gregg Berhalter has to answer these questions.
