Something that I hadn’t heard in a long while about the next World Cup, FIFA president Sepp Blatter is entertaining the idea of moving the World Cup to the US in 2010 if South Africa isn’t ready. He didn’t say the African host was going to be unable to host or be ready for the Cup in time but he [...]
After another weekend of play I am beginning to be as lost as the entire western portion of the league. Only one western team won a game this weekend (but it was against another western team) and there are three eastern teams that have yet to lose a game. Three eastern teams that have yet to lose a game! Am [...]
Just got done watching Houston and Chicago. Not gonna lie, it was a total bore of a game. Houston had chances and couldn’t deliver, while Chicago made the most of what they got, which wasn’t a whole heck of a lot. Just a few thoughts I gathered from this real quick… – DeRo is still no where to be seen [...]
I was going to have a real post tonight about this weekend but I have too many random thoughts that just need to be put out there about this past weekend. I do understand there are still some games to be played this weekend and even tomorrow night in the Mormon country, so not everything will be answered just yet. [...]
Just after two minutes of watching the latest installment of Toronto and Kansas City, I have to say that the new stadium up there in Toronto is absolutely perfect for the team and the league. I absolutely love the environment at this place, its packed, there is excitement and it just looks awesome to me. Very European feel to it, [...]
Caught this earlier in the day and felt it needed a mention. It’s an online petition to urging Jorge Vergara and Antonio Cue, the Chivas USA owners to rename the club to something more local. Apparently according to this site, they have gotten plenty of signatures. Now I will admit, when this club first started and became an expansion squad [...]
Dallas dropped a home game to New York last night. I have to say, the more I see New York the more impressed I get with them. They held their own on the road and got a much needed three points. Go ahead and rate them number one for next week’s power rankings. I figured a draw in that game [...]
Time once again for an update in the designated player/foreign player scorecard here at WVHooligan.com. As mentioned before in the last post, I do know that not all of these players are DPs, I am merely grading new talent that has been hyped in some fashion to make a large impact on the MLS this season. So please spare me [...]
Another midweek game tonight in Frisco between the Hoops and the Bulls. A lot of people are starting to ride the New York bandwagon here in this early season. I may have ranked them the top team in the league in this week’s power rankings but I am not a card carrying member of the bandwagon. Red Bull New York [...]
I love the online package the MLS provides for their games. $20 is easily the best deal in sports to watch out of market games for a season. I am glad they put this game with Toronto and Kansas City online tonight. For one there is no solid TV tonight anyways and I have been wanting to see more of [...]
Week Four in the MLS is certainly shaping up to be a dandy, lots of games stretching from tonight’s KC-Toronto game until Monday’s Mountain Cup game with Colorado and Salt Lake. KC and Toronto begin a home-and-home series tonight in KC for the Wizards home opener. Weird that they both play one another in their home openers. Odd way of [...]
The MLS will announce tomorrow the number of games that Columbus forward Andy Herron will be suspended for from his ugly elbow to New England defender Jay Heaps. Probably three or four games including this weekends contest with DC. Also, no suspension on the brink for Heaps, there had been talk of a game or two for him for provoking [...]
I will admit for now that certain teams are better than teams that I figured to be the top squads in the league. Maybe this year is going to be like 2004, when there was no dominate team and everyone basically beat the crap out of everyone. I am starting to think we will see just the year until certain [...]
Thanks again to Climbing The Ladder, another weekend of goals in the MLS for your viewing pleasure.
I decided to wait until the end of the FC Dallas – Colorado game to give my opinions and thoughts on the weekend’s games. Lots of happenings around the league in the past week will help shape what does or does not happen by the MLS Cup. Lots of wrongs and rights out of this very writer here as well. [...]
