Editor’s Note: Geoff Reid appears on WVHooligan every week. He’s back for the second time this week to give his take on the New York Red Bulls’ ownership and why it’s a good thing. Feel free to leave Geoff a note below with your thoughts on his take here. There has been a lot of press in the last few [...]
Maybe this is why Chivas is at the top of the standings. Also I really have been meaning to post these weekly videos for sometime. This time we are entertained with Chivas defender Mariano Trujillo. (Thanks to those guys at the club for sending me these links btw)
Yup, its finally that time. MLS Philadelphia 2010 has revealed the date for an announcement ceremony to unveil the club’s name, colors, logo and ticket pricing. The celebration will be hosted at City Hall by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter on Monday, May 11 at 11:30 a.m. “This is truly a defining moment for our franchise, and we couldn’t be more [...]
We finally have an All-Star opponent for this year. Just as speculated before it turns out to be Everton FC of the EPL. This year’s game will be held at Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT. What do you think of this announcement? I honestly love the idea of playing Everton.
Talk about a headline that could go badly for the league. The Columbus Dispatch is reporting that a top referee and MLS star are being investigated by the United States Soccer Federation and the league for their conduct during the Crew’s 2-2 tie with the Chicago Fire on Saturday. According to the Dispatch’s sources, various witnesses saw Fire star Cuauhtmoc [...]
I guess John Carver didn’t like getting fined by the league. Word has it the fine from a couple weeks ago was the final straw for the manager who resigned this past week. The Toronto Star is reporting that the meddling by the league was all that Carver could take. “You can only put up with so much,” Carver told [...]
Wow, talk about a move that could actually be a good one. FC Dallas today traded for U.S. Under-20 MNT defender and captain Kyle Davies from Real Salt Lake in exchange for the lowest of FCD’s three second round picks in next year’s MLS SuperDraft (according to the club it means the pick closest to the third round). Davies had [...]
Editor’s Note: Geoff Reid appears on WVHooligan.com weekly, typically every Monday. He continues his look this week at the UEFA Champions League. FC Barcelona (ESP) vs Chelsea (ENG) at Camp Nou Tuesday If the Chelsea vs Liverpool tie the previous round looked to be a bore at best on paper, certainly this tie looks a classic. However, the last round [...]
A lot of change going on this past week due to the amount of games. Movement all across the board though most of the top remained the same. The crap at the bottom continues to slightly move around but let’s be real honest about the bottom four or five clubs…they all mostly stink right now. Feel free to post your [...]
Looking back on this past week and even a season as a whole up until now there are plenty of questions surrounding these clubs. I think we are seeing who is contending this season, who is pretending and who is already playing themselves out of contention. I’ve been jotting down a few notes recently about a few clubs and how [...]
Plenty of goals this week, mostly due to the RSL thrashing of New England. Still there were plenty of quality strikes that were goal of the week material. I’ve put together my usual list of goals for the week. If you think I missed a quality goal just let me know. The order goes as follows: Chris Pontius (DC), Steve [...]
The sixth week of the 2009 season is now in the books. A few surprises here and there including one huge blowout, one club pulling off two wins in the week and two crazy late come-from-behind victories for two other clubs. Once the dust was settled on the week Chivas USA was still on top of everything dispite their 1-0 [...]
Another full weekend ahead in Major League Soccer, hard to believe we are already into the thick of this this week with two league games under our belts. Things are certainly starting to speed up here as we move forward in the season. Seven games to discuss here for the upcoming weekend, five on Saturady afternoon/evening and two more the [...]
I love fun quotes from people, especially those in charge of sporting leagues like MLS’s Don Garber. He told Jack Bell at the New York Times that the problems facing the league these days isn’t the economy or the schedule going head-to-head with key international dates. No, the league’s biggest issue to tackle right now is smarter soccer fans. Soccer [...]
We have gone from 70 to 58. I copied the original list and crossed out the cities that did not express interest in hosting a World Cup game. Mostly college stadiums are gone from this list, which will more than likely be narrowed down even more in the coming months. Representatives from Las Vegas and Raleigh-Durham markets have expressed interest [...]
