MLS Weekend Preview: Week 11
I won’t lie, last night’s game between Chicago and Chivas put a sour taste in my mouth for this weekend. The game itself was entertaining but the officiating was lacking in quality as we’ve all seen by now. Hopefully this weekend won’t be filled with yellow and red cards or lots of questionable PK calls. Sorry for the rant but [...]

Preki’s Recation To Last Nights Loss
How quickly will Chivas USA coach Preki be fined by Major League Soccer for his rant last night after the game? Pretty soon I would imagine.

Oduro Sent To Houston
Every year it seems Dominic Kinnear makes a small move that pays off in a big way down the line.
