Released this morning by the Denver Post, Real Salt Lake is still paying a majority of Clint Mathis’s salary, somewhere in the $300k range. This comes as no shocker why Red Bull New York would pull for a deal like this. They will be getting Mathis at a major bargain compared to his annual salary.…[continue reading]

Red Bull New York as traded for Clint Mathis today according to Ives. Clint is back in the Big Apple now. Oh nelly. That adds some spice to the off season that was lagging a bit for the Red Bulls. I like this deal and I like what it does for both parties. Colorado had…[continue reading]

Saw this earlier today, it gave links about the possibility of Eddie Johnson being bought and transfered (in english thanks to  someone on bigsoccer)to Boca Juniors in Argentina. Down the Line doesn’t like the idea of EJ going to Boca and riding the pine. Though I could agree with that, I wouldn’t mind seeing EJ…[continue reading]

Yeah, I will be totally frank with everyone. I did not see the US game last night. However, thanks to the trusty VHS, I did see it this morning. Well some of it. Okay, the bloody highlights I saw but that was all I needed to see to make any sort of assessment from the…[continue reading]

Very slow news Monday. Most people are spinning their own crap to just post…like myself. Nothing wrong with that though. I love that everyone is still discussing yesterday’s US game with Ecuador. Some people comment during, some right after, and some like to let it all sit in and report on it the next day.…[continue reading]

Few thoughts and comments on the US – Ecuador game on ESPN2. I have to say the trio of O’Brien, Arena, and Wynalda are getting better with one another. O’Brien is a better voice for soccer and thankfully it isn’t Rob Stone doing the games. Still I feel ESPN/ABC is still lacking a solid soccer…[continue reading]

I caught this discussion on Bigsoccer.com about some people’s perspective about how the MLS is doing and how the Wall Street Journal thinks they are doing. The WSJ thinks the MLS is on the right track while one or two on Bigsoccer think else wise. Honestly, the ones that think other wise misread the article…[continue reading]
