Take a deep breath, everyone.

We’re going to win the gold medal. Here’s why.

Last night’s Rugby World Cup matchup, between the US and Russia, apparently brought up some of those old Cold War feelings. USA would go on to win the match, 13 to 6, and will face second-ranked Australia next.

At some point during last night’s USA–Mexico friendly, many viewers picked up on quite an interesting(ly gross) moment.

Bob Bradley has been fired as coach of the US Men’s soccer team. According to ussoccer.com, US Soccer President Sunil Gulati announced that Bradley has been relieved of his duties. During his five years as head coach of the USMNT, Bradley compiled a 43-25-12 record. We’ll be the first to nominate Bradley doppelganger and SI writer Grant Wahl as his replacement. [USsoccer]

The day after the US Women’s soccer team lost to Japan, after seemingly having the game in hand, there seems to be a tentativeness among some members of the media to be hard on them for giving up a late lead. There is no such tentativeness for ESPN soccer analyst Tommy Smyth.

Although the US Women’s soccer team lost in heartbreaking fashion to Japan in Sunday’s World Cup final, an early goal from Alex Morgan provided one young man a chance to get suitably excited. Thanks, Excited World Cup Kid, for making yesterday’s loss a little easier to handle.

The United States are the defending champions in the IFAF Senior World Championship of American football, and if their 61-0 victory over Australia is any indication, the U.S. could be on its way to another world title.

As news spread throughout the world of Osama bin Laden’s death, fans in Philadelphia attending Sunday night’s Mets-Phillies game chanted “U-S-A! U-S-A!”

Seeing as how 2010 is drawing to a close, we figured we’d give you a second viewing (or first, don’t be shy!) of some of our best posts from the year that was, throughout Christmas day. In this post: Landon Donovan provides the most exciting moment in US soccer history.
