Week 23 in Major League Soccer proved to be a big one for some clubs. New York finally got off the losing end of things, New England won two straight to move into playoff contention, San Jose finally turned the tide late in the games, and LA got four quality road points in the week.…[continue reading]

Sometimes we get caught up in things and forget about a few important others out there that are right in front of us. For the New York Red Bulls, getting Juan Carlos Osorio out of the picture meant we could remember someone who can actually coach in this league. Of course I am talking about…[continue reading]

Looks like the locker-room issue in Chicago surrounding defender Bakary Soumare and manager Denis Hamlett is resolved today. Reports from France say the Fire have sold the All-Star defender to French club Boulogne for a little over $2 million.

First up is a little transfer rumor surrounding Landon Donovan. According to the French soccer website 10sport, Donovan is on the…[continue reading]

One more addition before the weekend slate of games. This time Chivas USA is the one doing the adding. Brazilian forward Maicon Santos, who has trained with the club since August 3 comes to the club on loan from Brazilian club Bonsucesso. He will be eligible to play Saturday against Toronto. “Maicon is a strong…[continue reading]

So far the week has not been kind to my predictions. In two midweek games both road sides have gone out and upset some seemingly strong sides on their own turf. Both LA and New England played solid matches this past week and earned three big road points in the process. This is a big…[continue reading]
