I won’t lie anytime I see the news coming out of Portland I worry over their expansion club a bit. It seems like every bit of news now centers around the money issue with this club. We’ve all seen the number, the $26.8 million gap in the budget for the club. Also the city isn’t in great shape financially, just [...]
Some changes in this week’s installment of the Power Rankings. I went against what most will have and kept my top two the same from last week. I just don’t see a need to put Seattle on top yet until they win on the road. If they go three-for-three to start the year then we can talk about putting them [...]
I’ve had to think about this for a while. Not just the start of this season here in Dallas but probably all the way back to the start of last season. Its like the club is missing way too much, not just on the field but definitely off. The numbers don’t lie in either instance. The club is just bad. [...]
Its getting about that time, time to put a crapper on this past week. I’ll have Power Rankings in the morning but I wanted to get the discussion for goal of the week up before hand. Not as many goals in week two but still a couple fantastic strikes. My vote is split between Seattle’s Fredy Montero and Colorado’s Terry [...]
So yesterday at Pizza Hut Park I was greeted with a big box of goodies as one reporter called it. Yes, a big box of MLS media guides. I thought it would be something worth showing here. I have 13 out of the 15 clubs, as KC and New York had not sent theirs in to Dallas yet. Sorry if [...]
Editor’s note: Geoff Reid is a WVH contributor, he appears here every week with his thoughts and opinions on different subjects surrounding the game. Feel free to leave Geoff a note below with your thoughts. While the rest of the world (apart from MLS) took a break for World Cup qualifying I thought it would be appropriate to discuss the [...]
Week number two is finally in the books here. We saw six games come and go with only a few goals this week to even mention. Loads of draws across the land early on Saturday, but the night came with the goals as the Seattle-RSL game and Houston-San Jose game saw more action than the first couple in the day. [...]
I will be using the good ol’ Twitter function today to blog the FCD-Chivas game. I decided against doing a live chat/blog of the game due to time and lack of energy on my part. For quick updates of the game head over to my Twitter page.
It’s that time of the week, so that means one thing, weekend previews! A huge slate of games this weekend, a couple good rivalry games on the menu to discuss, and a couple interesting matchups out west. It really is a good weekend of soccer in Major League Soccer. Last week the league kicked off with a pretty big bang [...]
Steve Nicol is hoping to strike gold again in Africa as the club has signed Stephane Assengue Ombiogno. He will join the team pending the receipt of his U.S. P-1 Visa. The 19-year-old striker comes to the Revolution from Daga Young Stars, a regional team in Western African country of Cameroon. “Stephane is a young forward who we believe has [...]
Journeyman Ade Akinbiyi is close to signing with the Houston Dynamo. Yes, the club that nearly landed Luis Angel Landin and Omar Bravo is now close to signing the 34-year-old Nigerian. I guess this is plan E or F for the Dynamo in their quest to find a partner for Brian Ching. The club could sign him as early as [...]
From year to year we see a crop of newcomers in the league that either take the league by storm or they fail to do much of anything (like most of last year’s). The 2009 bunch so far seems to be doing quite well in compairson to the 2008 bunch. First of all we know what Seattle’s Fredy Montero did [...]
Where have we seen this before for the Black-and-Red? Oh yeah, in their own city. Now it looks like you can add Maryland to the list of places that DC United probably won’t get a stadium in. A Prince George’s County Council committee yesterday recommended that the county oppose legislation that would launch planning for a stadium for the D.C. [...]
If the Chicago Fire are most likely to win a championship it would be this year. Reason being is due to their star midfielder and designated player Cuauhtemoc Blanco saying this will be his last year with the club, according to the Chicago Tribune. “I’m leaving this year,” Blanco said. “My contract will be done, and I will leave happy [...]
Loads of goodies coming out of Houston tonight. The Dynamo are closing in on that all important stadium deal that they have been working towards for months now. KHOU is reporting the club is getting a little help from a Spanish bank too. They cleared the last big hurdle this week by getting funding from a Spanish bank based in [...]
