Back at it for the 2009 season. Nearly every club in action this weekend with five games on Saturday evening and one lone match on Sunday afternoon.

CTV is reporting that Whitecaps President Bob Lenarduzzi says he can’t guarantee that the soccer club will keep the Whitecaps name…[continue reading]

It’s finally here, First Kick…opening day…whenever you like calling it. In a few short hours we will have the start of the 14th MLS season up in Seattle as the expansion Sounders play their first MLS game against the New York Red Bulls. With an possibly sell-out on hand for the game, there is plenty…[continue reading]
