Yeah, coaching searches never go on without a denial from someone, somewhere. Diego Aparicio of Al Dia spoke to SMU coach Schellas Hyndman and he insists that he has not spoken to FC Dallas about becoming the team’s new head coach or technical director. “I have a good relationship with the Hunt family, and have for a long time, so [...]
FC Dallas is preparing to hire SMU head coach Schellas Hyndman as head coach and technical director, Buzz Carrick at 3rddegree.net reported on this morning. Hyndman has spent 24 years as head coach of perennial national power SMU, where he has developed a reputation as a strong tactician and unmatched recruiter. He’s made SMU into one of the national powers [...]
Nothing like an afternoon update here. The wonderful Tobias Lopez of the Fort Worth Star Telegram has given us all a little insight into the Dallas coaching search. Former FC Dallas player/assistant coach Oscar Pareja and former Chicago Fire coach Dave Sarachan have both received permission from the U.S. Soccer Federation to interview for FC Dallas’ vacant coaching position, according [...]
Another month down here in Major League Soccer, but yes I know there is still one day left on the calendar with games on it. But for the most part this list is basically going to be fine no matter what happens tomorrow. Even if someone drops six goals in a game tomorrow, it really won’t do a lot for [...]
The Sports Business Journal have released their annual awards. This year Major League Soccer was well represented in a couple categories but ultimately took home one of the more important awards as Professional Sports League of the Year. The league beat out the usual subjects, the NBA, NFL and MLB. Interestingly enough Toronto FC was nominated for the League of [...]
While Brad Guzan will be heading to Spain to play with the US National team in next week’s friendly. But first he will head back to the States and play in tomorrow’s game against Columbus. Should Guzan leave next week, Chivas will be without him for a Thursday night game in New York. Interesting point though because this will give [...]
There really is no idea here about what General Manager Michael Hitchcock will do with the open coaching position with FC Dallas. By now most agree that he fired Steve Morrow a couple weeks back due to the teams terrible performance in front of a sold-out crowd. When Hitchcock was hired by the Hunts (FCD owners) he promised a number [...]
After the “slap in the face” by England this past week, the US men’s national team must shift focus now to another world-class friendly across the pond. This time they travel down to Spain. Head coach Bob Bradley has named his roster for the friendly with a couple surprises: GOALKEEPERS- Dominic Cervi (out of contract), Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Tim [...]
We are a third of the way through already here in the 2008 season. Week 10 is already under way with a couple games already in the books. After a couple of conference battles on Wednesday and Thursday, this weekend has a couple of interconference battles to talk about. A lighter menu on tap this weekend. Only five games but [...]
Seriously, talk about some news that was swept under the rug over the last couple of days out in San Jose. Probably because I typically fail at checking in on the expansion club from time to time. But the front office of the San Jose Earthquake are probably beside themselves this week with the news that forward Peguero Jean Philippe [...]
Its possible, and to be honest, anything is possible at this point. EPL-side Newcastle is reportedly eying New York Red Bull striker and teenage star Jozy Altidore. Of course soccer rumors in England are short, sweet and to the point. The article basically mentions that the club is hoping to land two Americans, Altidore and Michael Bradley this summer. No [...]
I’ve been a bit busy today, so sorry for the delay in getting things up on here today. But excuses aside, let’s get down to business as we look at tonight’s MLS Primetime Thursday clash between DC United and New England Revolution. A year ago, DC dominated this season series winning two games after the opening draw in RFK Stadium. [...]
Something about a derby match or rivalry between two MLS sides that always seems to bring out the best in the clubs. You see that between Chivas USA and LA Galaxy, Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids, Columbus and Toronto now days, and DC against just about anyone in the eastern conference. The rivalry in Texas is no different. Houston [...]
Ah, just before kickoff of the FC Dallas-Houston Dynamo game, I thought I would throw in some more information that I’ve gotten in the past hour or so on Brian McBride’s possible return to Major League Soccer. I’ve been in conversations with a couple of sources about this and have been hearing some other things as well. Here’s pretty much [...]
Well, while most were watching the US-England game. Folks up in Seattle decided to announce a partnership between Microsoft/XBOX 360 and MLS expansion side Seattle Sounders FC. As you can see from the mock up of the jersey, it should look pretty cool. Thankfully it won’t look a thing like the rumored one I posted a week ago on here [...]
