Join MFUSA for a full day of American soccer live blogging.

Starting at 3:45 ET, MFUSA US Youth National Team writer Ben McCormick will host a live blog of the US U17 World Cup team's match against Uzbekistan (ESPN3, kickoff at 4 ET).

*Update*

Looks like Ben will be tied up until the 20th minute or so. If you want to step in for Ben until he arrives, shoot me an email at matchfitusa@gmail.com.

We'll roll on from there to the senior side's Gold Cup semifinal showdown with Panama (FSC 7 PM ET), where Jason will be in to provide commentary.

Live blog time, in conjunction with our friends from north of the border at Canadian Soccer News.

Thomas Rongen's US U-20 side takes on hosts Guatemala at the CONCACAF Championships tonight with a U-20 World Cup birth on the line. Join MFUSA USYNT writer Ben McCormick for a live blog of the match (10 PM kickoff, CONCACAF.com and ESPN3) starting at 9:30 ET.

I'm here in Baltimore taking in the sights (which mostly amounts to lots of warmups that give way to suits in once you enter the Convention Center ballroom), and am fairly certain that a draft of some kind will go down in just about two hours.


I'll be co-hosting a live blog of the goings on in conjunction with Canadian Soccer News, so if want a range of cross-border analysis and information, this is the place. Things should kick off around 11:45 ET.

The Clash In Carson™ seems a perfect time to bring back the Live Blog Machine.  In conjunction with the 24th Minute, I'll be drinking and making snarky comments starting at 10:45 PM EDT.  See ya then!

Here's a treat for our readers. During the Brazil - North Korea game, we've managed to get hold of the Party's official live commentary feed, and we will be bringing it to you as events happen during the game. Stay tuned for live coverage!

1st Minute: For the glory of the party and the Dear Leader, our heroic players have begun their inevitable triumph against the weak capitalist puppets of Brazil.

4th Minute: The glorious heroes liberate the oppressed ball from Western lapdogs.

5th Minute: The glorious heroes have invaded the corrupt Western half of the field. All glory to the working class!

8th Minute: The opressed ball is unwilling to allow corrupt Robinho to harass the heroic net.

11th Minute: All glorious heroes wishing to avoid reeducation are advised to begin winning.

18th Minute: Glorious heroes defending like mighty boulder against flower petals.

26th Minute: Glorious heroes have Brazilian pig-dogs cowering like Americans in Seoul.

31st Minute: Corrupt Western referee denies penalty to wronged glorious hero.

39th Minute: Natural Communist industriousness of Glorious Heroes is forcing the corrupt Westerners to bow down to the brilliant tactics and training of the Dear Leader!

HALFTIME. Half of the game is over. Devoted servants of the Dear Leader may now rejoice by clapping three times. No more, energy must be reserved for the service of your great country.

46th Minute: And now for the second half. The Glorious Heroes know the consequences if they lose.

50th Minute: Corrupt Western referees give a free kick to diving pig-dog.

54th Minute: Selfish players will be re-educated!

56th Minute: The Brazilians have not scored! The displayed scoreline is a Capitalist dirty trick. The replays were faked. It is not 1-0. All glory to the Dear Leader!

60th Minute: Enjoy this ten-hour compulsory documentary of the Dear Leader's glorious life.

61st Minute: There is a keeper in this game who does not value his family's lives very highly.

72nd Minute: The score is not two-nil. These are despicable Western lies to demoralize the great workers of North Korea. The Dear Leader would not allow such a travesty to happen. The Brazilians have not scored.

84th minute: The glorious heroes have scored 14 goals. The corrupt Western puppets of the evil Americans are bowing down to the superiority of the Korean workers. The score is 14-0 to the glorious nation of Korea! All glory to the Dear Leader!

89th Minute: The Glorious heroes of Korea have scored their 15th goal! All glory to the dear leader!

FULL TIME: The match has ended. The glorious nation is victorious by 15 goals to none. All hail the Dear Leader.

Live blog after the jump.

Alright boys and girls, another Saturday is upon us, full of MLS action. Unfortunately, I will be detained until early evening tonight, but I want to be sure you know to check in on Epic Footy for a running live blog. There will certainly be one going for the day's early game, Seattle v. Chicago, and while there is a gap before the night games get going, the live may stay up and just roll through in the interim.

A quick rundown of the MLS schedule, with some picks thrown in:

Seattle v. Chicago 3PM ET, ESPN

McBride is done for Chicago (shoulder surgery), and while that's a blow, the Fire are still one of the best teams in the league. Seattle should have it's usual massive crowd, and the showcase of ESPN to show it off. I'm calling this one a draw, 1-1.

Columbus v. Toronto 7:30PM ET, Direct Kick

This one is already a decent rivalry (they play for some made up trophy called the "Trillium Cup), and should be another tense affair. There won't be many TFC fans in Columbus, unfortunately, as the team's supporters groups are staying away in protest of their treatment the last time these two played in Ohio. I only wish Columbus had strong enough attendance (not sure why they don't) to make up for the lack of travelling support. I see another draw here, 1-1.

Houston v. New England 8:30PM ET, Direct Kick

Houston is without two of their most important players, Brian Ching and Stuart Holden, but still look to be head and shoulders better than New England. With the game in Houston, there's no reason to think that the Dynamo won't take care of business. Houston wins, 2-0.

Kansas City v. LA Galaxy 9PM ET, ESPN2

The day's other ESPN game (this time on the Deuce), it's game two of Beckham's return to MLS. Although Community America Ballpark is small, it's also intimate; even with a sell out, there will only be 10k, but I'm guessing they'll be brutal towards the Englishman. LA is on a role though, and I can't see home field making that much of a difference for a Wizards team missing Jimmy Conrad and Davy Arnaud to Gold Cup duty. LA wins, 2-1.

Colorado v. New York 9:30PM ET, Direct Kick

New York is bad, really bad. Colorado always manages to make things tougher for themselves than they need to be, though, and so I'm torn. But New York is really bad. The home-standing Rapids should be able to get the full three points. Rapids win, 1-0.

San Jose v. DC United 10:30PM ET, FSC

The trip out to the West Coast is a long one for DC, so this game might be a little tougher than it would appear. Still, United is much better than San Jose, sits only one point behind the Fire in the Eastern Conference standings, and has just added reinforcements in Danny Szetela and Ely Allen. I expect that Szetela will make his United debut tonight. United can't afford to drop points to weaker side here, so I'll pick them to win 3-1.

Make your picks here if you so choose, or just lambaste me for my picks.

I hope to be back in time for the night games, so maybe I'll see you over at Epic Footy.

I'll admit that the Gold Cup has attracted little of my attention in recent days; with the USA-Mexico TV issue taking up a lot of my time and other news filtering out, the CONCACAF championship hasn't really been top of mind.

But our boys play Honduras tonight in Chicago, with a birth in the final on the line. Ever shifting, changing, and swapping parts, Bob Bradley's young(ish) roster faces off against the team it beat 2-0 in DC just two weeks ago. Whether or not the US can do it again is slightly more in question now than before, with several of the team's bigger guns (Charlie Davies, Benny Feilhaber) departed for their clubs.

My player to watch? Stuart Holden (duh). The kid from Houston by way of Aberdeen has taking his opportunity well in this tournament, and looks to be a rising fixture for the Yanks. I expect he'll put his stamp on this match one way or another.

There will be a live blog, of course, which will posted both here as well as Epic Footy.

There's a full day of soccer on this July Saturday, and I will be live blogging as much of it as I can manager. Join in the fun with myself and the rest of the Epic Footy crew as we follow MLS action leading into the USMNT match, then return to the league after the US take on Haiti. Start time is 4pm ET.

The US continues its Gold Cup campaign tonight against Honduras at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC. The Honduras fans are sure to be out in significant numbers, to the American "B" team will get a taste of playing at home in a hostile environment. Join me here or at Epic Footy for the match live blog, set for 9 pm ET.

Epic Footy is running a continuous live blog for all of tonight's MLS and Gold Cup action; I'm part of the mix, and will be focusing on USA-Grenada when that game starts at 9 pm ET. Join in the discussion, as the Yanks kick off their Gold Cup campaign.

It's Tuesday, I need to relax with some soccer, and it just so happens that the third round of the US Open Cup starts tonight. So I've decided to do a little live blog, which is up both here and at Epic Footy. I'll be watching the games at USL Live; I highly suggest you sign up there for a free account and join in the live blog.

I, along with the all-star roster of contributors to the newly formed Epic Footy live blog depot, will be live blogging the USA-Brazil Confed Cup final today. Start time is 2:15 Eastern.

A new site is up and running, a one-stop shop for all your live blog needs. If there's soccer going on, there's a good chance someone will be running a live blog for it, so help get it off the ground and spread the word.

Epic Footy Live

Live blogs will be taking place for the MLS and Superliga action tonight (first one is already in progress).

There's a solid lineup of soccer bloggers participating, and all everyone is welcome to come and join in the discussion.
