The expansion draft will be here before we know it. The expansion kids of two years ago now face a tough challenge of seeing their two new rivals picking in the draft. Today begins the first look of the playoff eight in the expansion draft lists. I’m sticking with the point-based line-up so that is…[continue reading]

In a perfect world this would be more fitting of a MLS Cup final rather than just a western conference final. The number one overall and number four overall teams from the season square off in a battle to see who gets the trip to Toronto next week. FC Dallas knocked out the defending champion…[continue reading]

Just the thought of two western conference clubs playing for the eastern conference final still makes me giggle. Geography aside this one could be a fun game to watch. Yes they are technically the lowest two seeds left in the playoffs but that won’t mean they fail at making this one worth watching. Both sides…[continue reading]

The friendly in South Africa next week is a tough one to work around for call-ups.

After two and a half seasons with the club, Hyndman has seen his plan come to life with the club’s…[continue reading]

Today is the last expansion draft list of the non-playoff teams, hopefully tomorrow I’ll get into those teams who failed to move past the first round (Columbus, New York, Seattle and RSL). Today we look at the Kansas City Wizards, possibly one of the easier teams to predict here for this month’s expansion draft with…[continue reading]

Real Salt Lake striker Alvaro Saborio was a beast this season for the 2009 MLS Cup Champions. He was brought in to take over for the departing Yura Movsisyan and he did not disappoint. His 12 goals were enough to beat out New York’s Thierry Henry and Joel Lindpere for the league’s Newcomer of the…[continue reading]
