We’ve heard for months now about the Houston Dynamo stadium being in downtown Houston next to the baseball stadium there but now are the Dynamo looking elsewhere for their stadium? Thanks to DyanmoPlanet.com for posting this earlier this morning (via ABC13 in Houston). The club is now looking at another possible site near the Galleria…[continue reading]

Its really turning into the final countdown here. Sunday is the final day of the current MLS CBA and if a deal isn’t reached between the players and the owners we could be faced with some serious issues on our hand. Soccer America is reporting this morning that the two sides have been actively working…[continue reading]

I won’t lie to ya, anytime I see something Freddie Ljungberg says I believe it to be the truth. That is unless something morally tells me not to do so but 98% of the time I take his word for what it is. Today is no different. We know of the “issues” between Ljungberg and…[continue reading]

Let me just first say that I went into this match with little to no expectations…[continue reading]

Holden joins former Dynamo teammate Ricardo Clark, who has signed with Eintracht Frankfurt, as Americans to make major transfer moves from…[continue reading]

Saw these photos (or stadium porn if you will) from Mark Fishkin earlier. Just wow. No doubt this stadium is passing up Home Depot Center as the main soccer venue in this country. Fishkin also points outs some really good things the Red Bulls are doing with this new venue. Something I wish other teams…[continue reading]

In this expansion era in Major League Soccer we’ve seen the good and the bad on how to bring a new club into the league. The bad is obviously just about everyone but Seattle.
