I guess this is what happens when you get an early start to the day. I’d been meaning to go through the previous allocation list in the MLS and try and figure out its recent updates. That is a task that is more guessing than easily figuring out. I thought I’d give it a shot…[continue reading]

The MLS sent out their changes for next year, most of stuff you all have read on here or other sites. I won’t post the entire thing, but I will give quotes here and there from the entire document that was passed along to me in my inbox that was dicussed in a phone interview…[continue reading]

We know the Americans will play their opening qualifying series for the 2010 World Cup in June against Barbados or Dominica. Let’s reach out there on that limb and say the US do advance, I know, a real stretch here. Next up is a four-team, semifinal-round group between August and November with the top two…[continue reading]

To say Liverpool co-owner George Gillett Jr. aren’t interested in their home country’s soccer league could be an understatement. Gillett and his EPL side Liverpool are hoping to be the MLS’s opposition in next summer’s All-Star game in Toronto.

Not a lot of changes to this in the past week. Just the Boswell/Wells deal between DC and Houston. Also the Troy Perkins to Norway is listed on here. As usual if any moves are missing on here just leave me a comment and let me know.

Alecko Eskandarian is having to do just that, mainly because he will more than likely have trouble staying at Real next season and he probably wants yet another change of scenery. Esky has popped up…[continue reading]

In what could be said a good day for the MLS and for the Kansas City Wizards, as they have nearly wrapped up a stadium deal. Last night the Kansas City, Missouri City Council unanimously approved the city’s portion of a $949 million redevelopment project at the site of a former mall (roughly $273 million).…[continue reading]

I will keep this one short and sweet due to the weekend coming up, but all I can say about this is “Damn!”. The MLS expansion club in Seattle that is still 15 months away from their first match has passed 10,000 season ticket deposits. This is an outstanding number that could easily end up…[continue reading]
