I have to say the local media coverage in Philadelphia is impressive. Then again anything is impressive when you compare it to the MLS coverage down here in Dallas, which if it weren’t for Buzz Carrick and Steve Davis there wouldn’t be nearly anything reported. But enough of that, SF over at The Offside Rules…[continue reading]

Ah so we’re finally getting a sneak peak at the new Major League Soccer website. No longer will it be MLSnet.com as the new URL will become MLSsoccer.com. Sure its a longer URL but a better one I believe. MLSnet never sounded like a good URL to me but then again “Major League Soccer soccer”…[continue reading]

We’ve heard this before but it appears Montreal may be closer than ever to securing a Major League Soccer expansion bid. Montreal Impact owner Joey Saputo tells the Montreal Gazette he hopes to have a deal announced with the league. He can gaze out at one end of the stadium adjacent to the Olympic park…[continue reading]

Boy, myself and a lot of others doubted RSL as they headed into a new year as defending MLS champions but today I’m at least starting to think differently about them. Today the club announced the signing of Costa Rican national team striker Alvaro Saborio. Saborio comes in on a loan arrangement from FC Sion…[continue reading]

Normally in my season previews I go team-by-team but this year as I mentioned earlier in the week I am doing something a little different. Instead of the old way I’m trying something new to break up the content and give folks a little more room for discussion. Today’s topic is all about who is…[continue reading]

We know the news yesterday sounded terrible. The players voted 350-2 (or whatever the final tally really was) to strike if a new collective bargaining agreement with the league is not reached in time for the season openers in two weeks. Or so we thought. Buzz Carrick sheds a little more light into that vote…[continue reading]

We’ve waited a little while for a response from the owners and today we finally got it (h/t once again to Steve Goff for the quotes). MLS president Mark Abbott gives us an indication that the league isn’t happy with what the players have said this week about the CBA discussions. “…the meetings were productive…[continue reading]

Some sad news earlier today, Alecko Eskandarian is going to have to sit out a bit longer due to his on-going battle with concussions. In an email to Steve Goff, Esky said the following: “As a result of injuries that I suffered, I am being forced from the game of soccer at this time. I…[continue reading]

Major League Soccer has two weeks to get a new CBA deal done or else it’s players will strike. According to Steve Goff, the players voted 350-2 in favor of striking in two weeks, hours before the season opener in Seattle between Philadelphia Union and the Seattle Sounders FC. Don’t ask who the two that…[continue reading]

One of two things could happen next year when the Vancouver MLS team joins in the fun (along side Portland of course). Either BMO the main sponsor of Toronto FC drops them to sponsor Vancouver or they decide to sponsor both. Honestly looking at it the latter of the two will likely happen. Thanks to…[continue reading]
