Just saw this post over on Steve Goff’s blog. Marcello Gallardo is no longer a member of DC United. D.C. United General Manager Dave Kasper has confirmed that Argentine midfielder Marcelo Gallardo will not return to the club. The sides reached agreement this morning to break ties, allowing Gallardo to return to the Argentine league. Kasper: “We have reached an [...]
I think this could be the best non-draft pick for any club this month. The New England Revolution signed UMass keeper Zach Simmons to a contract today. Simmons was viewed as one of the better keepers in the draft but with the lack of a need for keepers this year he went unselected. More than likely had there been a [...]
Boy seeing these videos of FC Dallas in preseason training…well running…makes me wish I were a little more in shape these days. I don’t think I could run like they do anymore, maybe a few years ago yes but definitely not now. Preseason Fitness Testing from FC Dallas on Vimeo.
Twenty players, nearly all MLSers, have been invited to USA training camp starting tomorrow in Carson. Foreign-based players will be added in the days leading to the USA-Mexico World Cup qualifier Feb. 11 in Columbus. More than likely a lot of these MLS guys won’t be on the final roster. Just a hunch. GOALKEEPERS: Jon Busch (Chicago Fire), Will Hesmer [...]
US Soccer president Sunil Gulati has scheduled a conference call for Monday to announce US Soccer’s bid intentions for the upcoming FIFA World Cups. He will reveal which World Cup U.S. Soccer will make a bid for (2018 and/or 2022). The USSF is set to bid on both World Cups. The US has been considered a heavy contender for each Cup [...]
Add LA in the mix for Bobby Convey. Earlier this month we talked about San Jose’s interest in the midfielder. SBI is reporting this evening the Galaxy are also interested to try to bring the injury prone midfielder to the Home Depot Center. LA is looking at the growing possibility that both Landon Donvan and David Beckham could be headed [...]
The more the man scores for AC Milan the more people on this side of the world wonder.
This is unofficial but based on a couple trades that have happened recently, plus some signings that have taken place a few of you have asked me to update the Allocation List for this year. Remember it is based on order of finish from the previous year. Any expansion team will start at the top. I do believe Seattle has [...]
With the release of the 2009 MLS schedule I noticed a couple good things and some bad things. The league is back to an odd number of teams which makes scheduling tough to begin with. Throw in the number of international games that US team will have to do this year (Gold Cup, Confederations Cup, WC Qualifiers) and the schedule [...]
Consider DC midfielder Marcello Gallardo a goner in DC. The club released this statement just a bit ago (via Steve Goff). “We’ve spoken with Marcelo at length about his desire to continue his career in Argentina and expect resolution of the issue in the coming days.” Any doubters out there that think Gallardo will stay? Speak now if you are [...]
More DC United news today. The Black-and-Red announced today the club has re-signed defender Devon McTavish. The former WVU-star as one of the most versatile players on the squad, playing 26 games and tallying a goal and four assists. Per team and League policy, terms of the agreement were not released. McTavish was one of the few that provided some [...]
DC United midfielder and designated player Marcello Gallardo is very close to returning to River Plate in Argentina, according to media reports in Buenos Aires. Watch the video here and read this story. (Story in Spanish for those who can read it) It sounds more likely here that the will go back to River Plate and terminate his contract with [...]
As promised, San Jose showed off their new kits. Photos come via the club. It’s pretty much what I expected the new kits to look like with the sponsor logo in the middle. What do you make of it? Not bad really.
Here it is, the official 2009 MLS match schedule. I’ll go into it more later on. Enjoy. Plan your trips.
Even though the Houston Dynamo lacked a draft pick in the first two rounds of the MLS SuperDraft this year it didn’t matter to them. The Dynamo have completed the signing of U.S. Under-20 star Felix Garcia, acquiring his rights from the PDL Laredo Heat for an undisclosed fee according to the club. They are set to announce the signing [...]
