Progress is being made….slowly but surely. I think its good progress too.

Its been a little while since we did a preseason look in on a MLS club. We hammered out about half of the league already but with the on-going CBA issue things like this had to take a backseat for a little while. Well today we’re back on the horse and continue on our preseason…[continue reading]

Honestly I didn’t get much out of the game other than the fact that both Heath Pearce and Brian Ching are definitely in line for a World Cup roster spot right now. The two better…[continue reading]

Yes today is the deadline for the CBA in Major League Soccer. Now no one has come out and said it will be by 5pm or midnight or when today. But it is today nonetheless. I wanted to start off today with an interesting take by Brian Straus, which may be one of the better…[continue reading]
