The on-going coaching search for next year’s expansion club Seattle Sounders FC continues today with the news of their approach of New England assistant Paul Mariner. The Boston Globe had this little blurb in their write-up after last night’s game: Mariner told the Arizona Republic recently he is interested in the position. Sounders FC is an MLS expansion team set [...]
It sure is getting down to that final stretch of games. In a blink of the eye we will be in playoff mode. Hard to believe this season has gone by this quickly here. Still plenty of soccer to be played but there are some clubs out there that wish they had a little more time to play catch-up here. [...]
While some thought Hunter Freeman’s facebook profile was under attack or having a prank pulled on by someone, the status posted there was indeed true. Freemen is headed north to join Toronto FC today according to SBI and other sources. Here are some more detals on the trade: It includes a clause that will force TFC to give the Red [...]
Seriously. As much as some thought their bid was a joke, Ottawa is not going down without a fight here as we head into almost less than a month before that expansion bid deadline that MLS dropped on potential cities. Ottawa’s expansion group issued this press release in hopes to stay up with the competition. In all honesty, they got [...]
You better believe it. From the emails I’ve gotten from the Borough Boys in New York, this process to get a second team in New York is still a go. Today on Bloomberg.com, baseball’s New York Mets say they are in discussions with MLS about placing a club in a separate venue near their new baseball stadium in Queens. “We’re [...]
Not even a few short weeks after turning down an offer to become the general manager with the LA Galaxy, Peter Vermes has turned down another job in Major League Soccer. A According to SBI, Vermes has now turned down a head coaching position with next year’s expansion club, Seattle Sounders FC. According to sources, Seattle has already reached out [...]
Its been a while since we saw the New England Revolution dominate like they did during the early and mid summer months here. For various reasons the Revs have cooled off and have moved down the standings in the process. Injuries and a tough schedule can be to blame, so would tonight’s MLS Primetime Thursday clash with Chivas USA be [...]
FC Dallas defender Drew Moor has signed a new four year contract with the club according to Soccer America and later confirmed by one of my sources. Moor is one of club’s most consistent and reliable players, something not to many people have been able to do on that backline over the last few years. I like that the club [...]
DC United is going to Africa. Instead of their usual shopping in Latin America, the club has gone in a different direction as of late. At the start of the season they signed Francis Doe (Libria) and a month ago they signed keeper Louis Crayton (Liberia). Now they are set to bring on two more Africans this week. Club officials [...]
Its been a long while since I updated this projected order, mainly because I knew there would be a slew of trades that would come down to shake up this order. And let’s be honest, we’ve seen plenty of deals this year that included draft picks. With Monday’s trade deadline looming, I figured we could bring this back up again [...]
Its sort of a slow news day (or week rather) in MLS. Tonight we have our third World Cup qualifier in Chicago against Trinidad and Tobago. The question is going into this game, who will Bob Bradley start? Keep some of the same from the Cuba game or change things up a bit at home? Both teams come in relatively [...]
One thing I do enjoy is an international fixture date. Loads of games and lots of interesting storylines. Today is just that day around the world as countries from all over take part in another round of World Cup qualifying matches. Aside from the CONCACAF fun there are some great matches across the pond, particularly one in Croatia. That’s right [...]
For a few teams in Major League Soccer, their chances of reaching the playoffs this season are rapidly fading away. Other clubs have little or not doubt that they are in and a few are actually battling things out here in the final stages of the season. Just as mentioned in the Power Rankings this morning, we have a couple [...]
I figured today would be a good day as ever to do a new poll here at WVH. Its sort of slow news wise so I am cleaning up some things around here and felt it was a good time to start discussing the MVP race for this season. You have five players to pick from on the right and [...]
One thing that may be sneaking up on everyone is next Monday’s trade deadline. Yup, Major League Soccer is just like every other American sports league by having a trade deadline. The big question is who is left to be traded at this point? – New York is looking for a striker within the league. We’ve known that for weeks [...]
