Hot off the email presses today, this just dropped in my inbox a moment ago from the folks up in Portland. After today’s announcement of the league’s expansion deadlines and what not, Portland wasted no time to get their bid into the league. They have made their bid official with the league and have issued…[continue reading]

As we all know, yesterday the USSF suspended Chicago Fire midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco for his behavior during a U.S. Open Cup match against D.C. United on July 8. Today the league took it’s turn, as they fined the DP midfielder. The cost to Blanco’s fat wallet, a mere $7,500. Yeah. A freakin’ joke if you…[continue reading]

A press release that is hot off the presses from MLS Headquarters. The league announced deadlines for expansion hopefuls from around the US and Canada. From the look of things we won’t know who these two sites will be until after MLS Cup. So take MLS Cup and add the popular ’60-90 days’ and we…[continue reading]

I know, I know, I skipped last month in the monthly awards here but we are back at it when a new twist. I’m mainly going to concentrate on the Player of the Month and the best XI. In the past I did a bunch of other ones but for right now I just don’t…[continue reading]

I think I’ve gotten around a half dozen emails this morning about last night’s SuperLiga semifinal between New England and Atlante. I caught the majority of the game and thought it was a bit chippy but what happened towards the end pretty much put a damper on the game and the tournament that didn’t need…[continue reading]

Maybe this is why the stands at Dicks Sporting Goods Park always seem empty. I try not to get too involved in some of these fan issues with stadiums but after reading this email that was sent to the Sideline Views, I thought it needed to be discussed. Apparently there are some big issues going…[continue reading]

For those who were wondering what happened to Blanco’s punishment following the lovely incident in Chicago’s quarterfinal match in the US Open Cup with DC a few weeks back, the punishment has been finally issued (those who were in charge of doing it were apparently on vacation!). Steve Goff is reporting that Blanco has been…[continue reading]

I must say after seeing a list of pubs across the land, I want a drink, preferably a Sam Adams. Anyways, I thought this was worth passing along to you all because I know how much some of you probably drink before, during, after and in-between soccer games. MLSnet, the one and only, has launched…[continue reading]

Finally. Chad Barrett is now with Toronto, along with some cash, draft pick and future considerations for the allocation spot for Chicago to sign Brian McBride. Glad to finally see this deal get done! Aren’t you? Of course no McBride in Chicago until after the Olympics. Still I think Fire fans will be fine with…[continue reading]
