Who We Are

Noah Davis (@noahedavis) covers the United States Men’s National Team for MLSsoccer.com. During the past qualifying cycle, he followed them to Honduras, Mexico, and Columbus, Ohio (guess which location was the least exciting?) and will be reporting from South Africa this summer. He’s written about soccer for SportsIllustrated.com, New York Magazine Online, Cigar Aficionado, and other publications. While his rec league team in San Francisco continues to trot him out at striker despite an obvious lack of finishing skills, he’ll gladly line up in the 10 Kit midfield.

Brent  Latham(@brentjavan) is an American soccer commentator based in Guatemala, where he appears as an international soccer analyst on national television and writes for the country’s most important newspaper, La Prensa Libre. His work has also featured in the New York Times and ESPN Soccernet. Soccer writing has taken him to four continents and youth World Cups in Peru, Egypt, and Nigeria, as well as the Confederations Cup in South Africa.

He has lived in Peru, Argentina, Spain, Senegal, and Honduras, where he played with limited success as the loan striker in a 4-5-1 for a third division team, before becoming a VJ and television personality. Anything, it seems, to avoid real work.

Whitney Warren is an American soccer writer currently living in Brooklyn, NY. Born a long goal kick from Stamford Bridge, he’s been following and playing soccer his entire life. Highlighting an otherwise less-than-noteworthy footballing career was playing for a club team in Madagascar, where – he was told later – the local spectators nicknamed him Petit for his similarities to Emmanuel Petit, the French international. They were not referring to his playing abilities, rather the length of his hair. His team finished second in Antananarivo.

Travis Clark (@travismclark) is a freelance writer who covers D.C. United, College and Youth Soccer for MLSsoccer.com. Along with being the Fantasy MLS Columnist for ESPN.com, his writing has appeared in FourFourTwo Australia, Seattle Times, Dallas Morning News, Columbus Dispatch, The Denver Post and the San Jose Mercury News.

His career has spanned three continents and he can tell you more about the Australian A-League than anyone else born in the United States,
and is an author of ten books for young adults.

Anthony Mannino (@AnthonyMannino) is an American and Italian soccer fan, who covers Serie A for USA10kit. Currently a journalism student at the University of Texas at Austin, he can usually be seen walking around campus in his array of different soccer jerseys. Never was a great soccer player, but has loved the game since the 2002 World Cup (after watching USA take down Mexico). His touch may be terrible, but he has always seen himself more as a tactician. While he has never had dreams of playing the beautiful game he has always wanted to coach professionally.

Maura Gladys (@mgladys) is a freelance sports writer and multimedia journalist with a passion for all things soccer. She is currently the head women’s soccer writer for The Shin Guardian and has previously worked for NBC Olympics at the Vancouver Olympic Games and USA Volleyball. She grew up watching the New York/New Jersey Metrostars and is a fervent Slovakian national team supporter. She spent the spring of 2009 in London, England where she took in several English Premier League and England national team matches and counts them among the highlights of her young life.

Jon Arnold (@ArnoldcommaJon) joined the USA10Kit in the January transfer window after it became apparent it was the only soccer blog willing to pay his exorbitant transfer fee. In addition to coverage of the USMNT, EPL and MLS, he also likes to turn the spotlight on smaller teams when the opportunity arises. When not covering the beautiful game, he’s content to cover not-as-beautiful games, specifically college sports, and once made surprisingly decent Major League Baseball predictions for The Guardian.
