Sounds like Portland mayor Sam Adams and County Chair Ted Wheeler are going to go toe-to-toe over the stadium situation for Portland and it’s MLS bid. The Portland Mercury is reporting more on the on-going saga of the stadium funds today. Wheeler won’t support the $15 million for PGE Park. Adams is hoping to find another way to get Wheeler [...]
With so few games this past week there really wasn’t a lot of change in the Power Rankings. Even with some wins for clubs near the bottom of the pack I just couldn’t punish those in SuperLiga play. The only real movement was near the top-middle half of the order. This was mainly due to Colorado’s two game week that [...]
While I’m still not the biggest fan of the MLS All-Star game set up I do love some of the build up in the voting process. I have to give loads of credit out there to the Galaxy front office for putting this together as they want their keeper Donovan Ricketts to be voted into the mid-summer event. Enjoy!
We’ve seen a big jump in soccer talk in mainstream sports media over the last few days. Big reason is not just the results on the field by the US over world powers like Spain and the toe-to-toe final against Brazil but it is due to the average sports guy/gal gaining more respect for soccer as a whole. More sports [...]
Even with only a few games this past week in Major League Soccer we still had plenty of quality goals to mention for goal of the week. Order of video: Todd Dunivant, Fredy Montero, Nate Jaqua, Yura Movsisyan, Clint Mathis, Dwayne De Rosario, and Omar Cummings (no audio on his goal).
Around the league the last couple days we’ve seen a number of roster moves. Below is a current list of what’s gone on over the last few days. I’ll have the in-season player movement page updated with this information shortly. Mostly these are moves where clubs are releasing or waiving players to make room on their roster for the upcoming [...]
Kudos to EPL Talk for posting this just a bit ago. I found it to be something worth mentioning here. The “World-Wide Leader” ESPN has announced more details regarding its coverage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa next June. Highlights of the announcement: ESPN will present all of its 2010 World Cup coverage from on-site in South Africa, [...]
With only a few games to mention this past weekend there really isn’t a whole lot to go into here from week 15 in Major League Soccer. We had two blowouts, another Red Bull loss on the road, and a shocker out west in LA. Still with those results and the few in SuperLiga there is still some things to [...]
No one ever said this game was easy. The highs and lows of soccer have never been more noticeable until today. It is always amazing how a game can be so different from one half to the next. The first half in the FIFA Confederation’s Cup final against Brazil showed the world that the US is here to stay and [...]
It’s Friday so why not huh? A soccer ballad from Rivers Coumo (Weezer frontman). Enjoy.
Yeah we actually are at week 15 here. Hard to believe huh? This weekend is fairly light due to a number of other games going on like SuperLiga. Then you have that all important game on Sunday afternoon over in South Africa between the US and Brazil. I won’t go into any big detail about the Brazil/US game and I [...]
It seems like each week I get emails from random folks hyping their podcasts but a lot of times they end up being sort of dull and boring. Might be a reason why this site lacks one still. Anyways, I do get some that come in that are really good like MatchFitUSA and others of that nature. There are also [...]
As mentioned earlier today, lots of clubs are starting to clear off roster space for the summer months. Two clubs cleared out some room today. DC United waived keeper Louis Crayton. San Jose waived two, defender Eric Denton and midfielder Kelly Gray. Crayton was on the block for a while to get released and it was really only a matter [...]
Nothing like some MLS expansion news to brighten your day. ESPNsoccernet is reporting that Montreal Impact owner Joey Saputo is aggressively trying to secure a MLS expansion bid for his club for the 2011 seasons along with Portland and Vancouver. From the article it sounds like the league is open to the idea of another expansion club. “I’m trying to [...]
I found a good article the other day about a few MLS guys that could use a transfer. While I doubt the author meant for any of these five to be transferred out of MLS I do think a few of these selections were pretty good as far as getting some of these guys with a new club. This all [...]
