The end of June only means one thing, the summer transfer window is near it’s due date for reopening for all clubs. After today MLS contracts go guaranteed for the year, so don’t be shocked to see a few more names be dropped along with DC’s Franco Niell and KC’s Eloy Colombano. MLS clubs are turning to the tranfer window [...]
Happy Monday to all. I’m coming from my outpost in Silverton, Colorado for the week. So some posts may be few and far between for the week due to some computer trouble (my laptop decided to burn out this past weekend so I’m having to use the Lady Hooligan’s in the mean time). So, I hope everyone had a wonderful [...]
Just as I mentioned yesterday, I am on the road to Silverton, CO for the next week. I decided to put up a post for you all to make your own comments about this weekend’s action. Believe me there is plenty of soccer to go around for all to discuss. You can talk about your club’s game, a game your [...]
Yup, as mentioned earlier in the week I will be headed out of the Big D for a week of a nice vacation to the mountains of Colorado. I will be staying in a nice town (from what I hear) called Silverton (left). While I will have internet access at my spot in the mountains, my posts may be a [...]
I figured today would be a good day as ever to mention that I’ve posted a new page on this site. Its a quick guide to all things MLS Expansion. I’m going to try to continue to update it as news and rumors come in about the possible cities here. Feel free to give any suggestions on how to improve [...]
You know most of the time I don’t worry about a player seeing his time run out with a club unless I have a strong connection with him, know him, or have followed his career. Claudio Reyna actually doesn’t fit into any of those categories. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been a fan of Captain America during his time with [...]
Hard to believe we are nearly half way home in this season here. Hell a couple clubs after this weekend will have already played half of their 2008 slate. Then you have New England who are in that yearly boat of playing two or three more games earlier than everyone else. Weird how the schedule works out sometimes like that. [...]
Something about the season series between Houston and Dallas just screamed to be even this year. We start out with a 3-3 draw, move forward to a 2-2 draw, and then tonight finish up the season series with a 1-1 draw. Yeah, you just don’t see a season series end up working out like that. Three draws. Yeah. Obviously it [...]
Hope everyone is having a nice Thursday as we gear up for another MLS Primetime clash tonight with Houston and Dallas. In the meantime let’s dive back into the rumors and speculations surrounding some former MLS players returning to the States to play in the league once again. We’ve talked about the Brian McBride return almost to death. Yesterday we [...]
Hot off the presses…or inbox presses in my case. An email from the USSF about the possibly quarterfinal 2008 US Open Cup pairings are in. No need to bore you with any more details other than just giving you all the pairings and let you discuss it. Any match-ups you are excited to see here? I love the Chivas/Seattle game [...]
We talked yesterday about the fading, if not ending hopes of an expansion club for Miami. Today another expansion hopeful is back in the press and is sounding very optimistic. Its the Northwest discussion folks. Portland. More importantly the Portland Timbers getting a bump to the big leagues like their rival Seattle Sounders. The news today sounds like the city [...]
Oh what it would have been like to be in Chinatown yesterday in New York City. We all know of the event by now and I won’t go into the details of it too much since I wasn’t there to see it firsthand. I will share a couple items I got from reading about it and a few clips that [...]
The last battle for El Capitan comes down to a game in Houston tonight as the Dynamo square off against their rivals from the north, FC Dallas. This MLS Primetime Thursday clash at Robertson Stadium should deside the season series between these two clubs. So far each game has ended in a draw, thanks to late goals by Houston in [...]
It is possible, as we have discussed before that a couple players could be on their way back to Major League Soccer from Europe this summer. We just finished talking about Josh Wolff, now we are going down to Houston with Nate Jaqua and Joseph Ngwenya and their possible return to the two-time champions. First off with the more likely [...]
Help could be on the way for the Kansas City Wizards in the form of a former Wizards. US National team striker and former KC striker Josh Wolff is poised to return to the States and possibly with the Wizards this summer. Wolff left the Wizards to try his play in Germany for a couple seasons and is now on [...]
