Just as promised, even if it is a day behind normal schedule here. Plenty of solid goals this past week in Major League Soccer. I particularly love some of the combinations in plays like the Columbus game between Jason Garey and Steven Lenhart. By the way, what was with Rob Stone’s Max Bretos call on…[continue reading]

Again, I apologize that is may be a day old but you know I love a good expansion story/talk/news/update/etc. According to the Sports Business Journal (subscription site), MLS commissioner Don Garber recently spoke out on a few expansion cites for upcoming league expansion. A few were ones we already knew about and a couple others…[continue reading]

I know I am a day late on this but it’s still noteworthy to discuss. Houston Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear has filled out the rest of the 2009 MLS All-Star game roster with his selections, three of which are from his very own club. One addition pick was also made due to the injury of…[continue reading]

I’m back, for now at least. I’ve had family in from out of town these last couple days and their time here in town is more important than posting stuff on here. But with saying that I have managed a little time to view some of this past weekend’s game to get my power rankings…[continue reading]

Chivas sent striker winger Atiba Harris to Dallas in exchange for midfielder Marcelo Saragosa. I can honestly tell you this trade does very little for either side. I am kind…[continue reading]

Week 18 in Major League Soccer has already gotten off to a bang. Last night’s 3-1 thrashing in Giant’s Stadium by LA over New York probably set the tone for what this weekend should be like. The tone was set early and often by LA with Landon Donovan really showing just how good he can…[continue reading]

Probably something some of us have forgotten about by now. Remember over the weekend when Houston Dynamo striker Brian Ching a tweet saying “Ref in seattle just cheated the dynamo. What a joke. Not even close. Ref is a cheat”? Well that will now cost him $500 from the league front office. He did later…[continue reading]

Thanks to Prost Amerika for this. Normally I wouldn’t go into a release of a player but since I know the guy and covered him during his college days at West Virginia University. Seattle Sounders FC have released New Zealand striker Jarrod Smith. Sounders FC have released forward Jarrod Smith. Smith, 25, was selected by…[continue reading]
