With today being the league’s All-Star game it just felt right to go into some award talk. Most of the awards feel like they are going to be decided very late in the year this season. A lot of names in the running for things like the MVP race and the rookie of the year…[continue reading]

It is that time once again, the MLS All-Stars take on a club from the other side of the pond. Feel the excitement? Yeah I honestly don’t. Just like every year I get less and less excited about this game, mostly because of the set up of the league taking on a club in preseason…[continue reading]

Colorado waived British midfielder Terry Cooke yesterday to make room for Jamie Smith. Cooke piled up a decent amount of assist, 31 to be exact, over the previous three seasons; he had a dozen each in both 2006 and last season, finishing first and third in MLS respectively. I won’t lie to ya, even though…[continue reading]

It is that time again. Late July into the start of August. For a few Major League Soccer clubs it means their schedule is about to get a little more jammed. Columbus and Houston have to wait to find out who is in their groups for CONCACAF Champions League play while Toronto, New York and…[continue reading]

As some of you have seen over the last day or so on my Twitter feed (twitter.com/wvhooligan), NBC Universal, the parent company of Telemundo and mun2 have been emailing the WVH inbox like no other. Two typical PR-style press releases and one in a slightly response to my post on the ball being dropped with…[continue reading]

A week that we could have seen a lot of change really didn’t take place. Week number 19 is in the books as we all know but not a whole lot of movement to speak of this week. Columbus was a big jumper with their nice come from behind win at home over rivals Toronto.…[continue reading]

Lovely video from ESPNSoccernet on the state of Major League Soccer. Don’t know if I agree with everything here but not bad.

Just found out on Twitter (via MLS_Insider) that the 2010 MLS All-Star game will be held in Houston! From the press release: The city of Houston will host the 15th annual All-Star Game, with either Robertson Stadium or Reliant Stadium to be selected as the host venue at a later date. The 2010 MLS All-Star…[continue reading]

We had plenty of goals scored in week number 19 in Major League Soccer. A few PKs, own goals and a lot of nice one touch shots. The best in some folks eyes will probably be the midfield bomb by KC’s Claudio Lopez though. I would be shocked to see another goal pass that one…[continue reading]
