What a tournament this has been so far! The US men have played the best tournament so far that I have ever seen from them. They have been dominant, controlled and patient. These traits were particularly on display during their round of 32 match. They played Bosnia and Herzegovina and showed out from the first whistle. However, Bosnia and Herzegovina did have an early chance in the 10th minute prompting Matt Freeze to make a save. This was a solid chance coming from a goal k

If you’re anything like me, then the USMNT has caught you by surprise in their group stage matches. I hate to say it but I am used to being disappointed by the US men's soccer team. They don’t win tournaments and traditionally there has been very little excitement or success. However, as an avid sports fan and a supporter of all things U.S.A., I have been cheering them on throughout this World Cup. As we head into the round of 32 match later tonight against Bosnia-Herzegovi

It's the World Cup season so we have to discuss all things soccer! The World Cup fever has certainly taken over Boston, with Gillette Stadium, or as it’s now being called Boston Stadium, hosting 5 groups stage matches, a round of 32 match and a quarter final match. Most notably thus far have been the Scots, also known as the Tartan Army. Scotland has not qualified for a World Cup in 28 years, since 1998. Additionally, their 1-0 victory over Haiti earned them their first win

The Red Sox Lined up for the National Anthem -- Photo by Paul Rutherford/Getty Images Boston sports is legendary. The history of success and GOATS that have come through and been a part of the Boston sports culture, even if they didn’t stay for a long time, is wild. It’s part of what makes being a Boston sports fan so much fun. The expectation in Boston is that you are consistently winning. Or at least at the top of the division and consistently making the playoffs if yo

The Boston Marathon was 6 weeks ago, and with very little happening in Boston sports it seems like the perfect time to reflect on an iconic Boston sports event. The weather was great the day of the race for both the runners and the fans. The elite and the everyday runners put on a show, leaving everyone inspired. Clayton Young However, one story stands out from the rest. That is the story of Clayton Young. He has made his mark on the running world, and specifically that of

A fan holds up a sign at the sendoff rally for the Patriots - Getty Images You know the old saying “they hate us cause they ain’t us”. Well this rings true for all Boston sports, but especially for the Patriots. As we gear up for the Super Bowl, I am embracing all of the wonderful aspects of being a life long Patriots fan, even the hate and criticism. Many are doubting the Patriots and whether they’re good enough to be in the Super Bowl. It is always interesting to hear ho

Draye Maye Securing the Final First Down to Win the Game - Getty Images The Patriots are going to the Super Bowl!! But first let's review the Patriots recent history. The Patriots are coming off back to back 4-14 seasons, having a winning record would have been a much needed relief. The greatness of the Patriots had faltered significantly and it was anyone’s guess what it would take for the Pats to rise to that level again. But they rose to the challenge. Not only did they

Alex Bregman Celebrating in the Dugout - Getty Images It's been just about two weeks since the news broke that Alex Bregman would not be returning to the Boston Red Sox. The news broke the sports world. The messaging coming from the front office for the later half of the season and throughout the off season was one of complete confidence. There was no indication ever that the Red Sox would not reach a deal with Bregman. However, there was some indication when he decided to o

The Sox had arguably one of the best catchers in the MLB, yet here they are on August 2nd, playing their backup catcher as a starter. Kevin Plawecki is a good catcher though he is no Christian Vazquez. Vazquez is an unmatched talent. Players thought twice before they stole second base, they knew just how easy it was for Vazquez to get them out no matter how difficult it might appear. Not only does the loss of a catcher hit home, but the fact that we lost one of perhaps the be

` After the Wildcard weekend, the bar was not high for the divisional games this past weekend. But wow, I was so wrong. The divisional games were unbelievable and so much fun to watch. It has been a long time since there have been four great games to watch in one weekend. In addition, it has been over 10 years since both the number one seed teams lost in the divisional round. The last time that the Conference title games were played without both number 1 seed teams in the Ch

Just like that the playoff run is over. Way sooner than anyone had hoped it would end. Though the way the Bills played on Saturday they certainly were the team that deserved to win. So congrats to them. However, let's dive into what happened during Saturday night's wild-card game. Things started out in a rather unfortunate manner straight out of the gate with the Bills scoring a touchdown and striking first. At this point the Patriots were definitely not out of the game, ho
