After plenty of rumors of where young American and Columbus Crew midfielder would go next, Danny Szetela is set to be the only American in La Liga this season once he passes a physical with Racing Standender. The Columbus Crew will rake in at least $150,000 in transfer fees from the deal. Szetela has been rumored for the past couple [...]
Saw this the other day on 3rddegree.net, the wonderful source for all things FC Dallas. Buzz found the new kits for next season and here are photos of them below. The home I am alright with but the road I think is a great improvement from the current gray hoops that Dallas sports on the road. Some people may not [...]
Five games to talk about this weekend, all with some sort of playoff impact to them. Chicago Fire – at – New York Red Bulls Big time game in the Big Apple with these two eastern conference foes. One team is holding on to a playoff spot, while the other is creeping up into the fold. A win for the [...]
Kinda a delay in my start today but I got a lot to cover so stick with me. I will kick off the day with the monthly awards here at WVHooligan. August has been another solid month of action in the league. WVH Player of the Month: Troy Perkins, Keeper, DC United – I kinda hate to go exactly the [...]
Brief preview here again this week folks. I just began a new job that doesn’t allow me enough time to fully write like I want to. Give me a little time and I will figure out how to work around that, until then short previews and write ups are all I can do. Some is better than none in my [...]
These rankings this week are going to be fairly short and sweet due to lack of time on my part right now. So some explanations won’t be detailed, while others may not be as much as usual. 1. (1) New England Revolution (42 pts.) – Lucky break gives the Revs three full points and a little time to break right [...]
It may be fair to say that this could very well be the best season that the MLS has had to offer so far in its short history. All games seem to have more meaning than before and all are producing some pretty entertaining soccer. I love it to be perfectly honest with you. It is nice knowing that every [...]
With the second highest chance of winning the lottery for Isreal Sesay, the LA Galaxy beat out Real Salt Lake to win the rights to 16-year old. I wasn’t expecting any playing time for Sesay this season but with as many games as the Galaxy have left, it wouldn’t be too much of a shocker really if he does see [...]
Some of these are going to be kept short because of lack of time right now. I will try to post more during the day if I can and if there is anything worth mentioning. But on to another big weekend in the MLS. Six games to talk about here, all with meaning going into the playoff hunt. Dallas is [...]
Finally got the numbers of the Israel Sesay lottery tomorrow afternoon. Sesay, a 16-year-old forward from Sierra Leone has spent the past six-plus years in the DC area and in the U.S. U-17 residency program, will be allocated through the ever-popular weighted lottery. A word of warning to the victor: Sesay is not going to jump into a club’s starting [...]
With a recent loss to in-state rival and defending MLS Champions Houston Dynamo, the FC Dallas front office made a move today to hope to push ahead of Houston and the rest of the league in hopes of winning the league crown this season. The Hoops have finally landed Brazilian play-maker Denilson today. A month ago the club was close [...]
Two solid eastern conference games last night. DC inches closer to New England and Kansas City showed signs of life (more so thanks to a red card on Chicago). New York Red Bulls 1 – 3 DC United Nice crowed on hand in the nation’s capital for this installment of the Atlantic Cup. DC pretty much handled New York in [...]
Thanks to Joe to emailing this to me earlier. Three Argentina players are set to join RSL this week after trails with the club, each are waiting on visa work before they can officially join. Striker Edgar Espindola, defender Matias Mantilla, and midfielder Javier Morales are all set to join the club who is in dire need of a good-spin [...]
One of those rare mid-week sets for the league tonight. Two games between four eastern clubs jockeying for position as the playoffs come closer. Red Bull New York at DC United: This installment of the Atlantic Cup has a lot in it for once. Both currently tied in points in the east (with 33) and both hoping to catch New [...]
One of FC Dallas’s worst personnel moves in club history is about to be over as keeper Shaka Hislop is set to retire. Hislop has officially been listed as out with back spasms and has not trained in about a month. According to sites like 3rddgree.net, Hislop has been taking a weak effort in his rehab. More than likely Ray [...]
