Pretty much everyone and their mother has had opinons on the World Cup bids for 2018 and 2022. I had covered this a bit over the last year or so since the US Bid Committee came out and said they were wanting to host one of those two Cups. The last couple months I sort…[continue reading]

I’m still feeling a bit off today due to a head cold so some posts may not happen today like I had planned. Anyways I saw a funny photo on The Offside Rules earlier this morning with the Colorado Rapids celebrating their MLS Cup title with a pub crawl in Denver. I honestly had no…[continue reading]

Just three hours after selecting Dax McCarty with the first pick in the 2010 MLS Expansion Draft, Portland shipped McCarty and allocation money to D.C. United for Rodney Wallace and a fourth-round pick in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Yes, it happened that quickly. I think maybe Portland is trying to get the band back together from…[continue reading]

The expansion draft has come and gone, rather quickly I might add. Both teams have made their selections and its clear that both had a goal and stuck to it throughout the draft. Vancouver selected very offensively and pretty much have given us reason to believe they’ll be relying heavily on their D-2 defense from…[continue reading]
