This week’s rankings are going to be a bit short due to lack of time on my part and lack of league games too to really draw much from. Nonetheless, here are your week’s power rankings. 1. (1) Houston Dynamo (34 pt.) – Dominate in the league and playing well in SuperLiga. I honestly wonder just how long this club [...]
Plenty of action around the MLS over the weekend, despite the fact that there were only three league games to even mention. The league also faired pretty well in SuperLiga action as well; currently all MLS clubs are in contention of moving on to the semi-final stage of the tournament with Mexico’s finest clubs. First off I wanted to give [...]
Only a trio of games this weekend to mention in the MLS, while a four teams battle in SuperLiga. So far the MLS is fairing alright with two wins and two draws. So in all we do have seven games to talk about here. I failed to get the Wednesday night SuperLiga games preview out in time, I had a [...]
Since there hasn’t been any real news other than Chicago officially signing Paolo Wanchope, it is time to do the usual Thursday thing and preview the night’s prime-time affair. For the first time in a while the Houston Dynamo won’t be a showcase in the weekly game on The Duce. Surprising as it may seem, ESPN did want two new [...]
With FC Dallas on the brink of signing Brazilian Denilson to a designated player contract in hopes of making a deep run into the MLS playoffs, one Hoops player is wanting out. Midfielder Ramon Nunez has gone to the club and demanded a trade. Nunez was not apart of the 1-1 draw with the Mexican Chivas side in last night’s [...]
I figure SuperLiga is well worth talking about here as it starts tonight. Two MLS teams square off with two MFL teams. You excited? Are you? Are you? CF Pachuca at LA Galaxy: Pachuca is probably the best club in Mexico and the Galaxy (even with Beckham and his sore ankle) are currently one of the worst MLS clubs. So [...]
Looks as though I missed this yesterday while I was out but Chicago has seem to land another impressive foreign striker to go along with Blanco and the injured Chris Rolfe. Costa Rican forward Paolo Wanchope, 30, is set to sign with the Chicago Fire sometime this week once a physical and all the paperwork takes place. Wanchope has been [...]
Ah another week down in the league and only a hand full of games to really discuss and think about into these rankings. Same will go in the coming week as SuperLiga kicks up for a few teams around the league. Still not a lot of change at the top or at the bottom. 1. (1) Houston Dynamo (34 pt.) [...]
It looks as though I may have to change my image at the top of the page next season if this comes true. Apparently the topic of discussion this afternoon surrounds Mr. Landon Donovan and who he will play for next season. Its no secret about the rules of the DP spot on MLS roster for this season and into [...]
It looks as though the Freddy Adu era in the MLS is about to come to a close. Young Adu is about to land a nice deal with a very good European club possibly sometime this week. Benfica, the Portuguese powerhouse is set to offer the MLS a hefty amount for Adu’s services. The MLS owns the rights to Adu’s [...]
I probably won’t get into too much detail over the weekend games. I honestly got to see very little of them due to things going on around me right now. Plus it was a gorgeous weekend that I didn’t want to miss out on. Anyways, a few things to discuss that are going on in the league that I will [...]
I honestly don’t know what kind of time I will have today to write about some things like last night’s All-Star game in which two MLS All-Star rookies and Colombians stole the show for the MLS (Juan Toja and Juan Pablo Angel) or some other things that I have been wanting to touch base on (TV announcing, SuperLiga, and other [...]
I can easily say that I will probably not be watching the MLS All-Star game tonight against Celtic. Its nothing against Celtic or the league itself, it’s mostly because I honestly hate how the league handles their All-Star game anymore. Its true, I don’t like seeing an All-Star cast from the league playing a club that is in pre-season mode [...]
The MLS unveiled both their starting lineups and in-active rosters today for tomorrow’s All-Star game. I will tackle the starting lineup first. It will look something like this: ———–Eddie Johnson—–Juan Pablo Angel————- ——————–Dwayne DeRosario———————- Juan Toja————————————Ronnie O’Brien ————–Ricardo Clark—–Shalrie Joseph———— Jonathan Bornstein————————-Jimmy Conrad ———————Michael Parkhurst———————- ————————–Matt Reis————————— One surprise to me in the lineup is Ronnie O’Brien. I can honestly [...]
In an article that was published earlier this month by the New York Times, it is apparent that several teams will turn profit this season in the MLS. Thanks to soccer-specific-stadiums and big time players like David Beckham playing in the league, clubs are actually seeing black rather than red. Five clubs are expected to turn profit this season: LA [...]
