We’re continuing on with my new-look features for the season, yesterday I released my “What to watch for” for the first week of the season and today I have my weekend predictions for you all. As I mentioned yesterday the thought of doing extension previews for each game this year seemed to be a little…[continue reading]

  For the 2011 season I will be doing some thing differently around here. The Power Rankings will remain the same, as will the weekly predictions (though those will be shorter than in previous years). But I will be adding a couple new regular posts for each week, first of which is today’s What to…[continue reading]

It is finally here, Major League Soccer’s first kick of 2011. The long wait (or short wait if you think the offseason has been rather quick like I do) is over and the games will pick up in a hurry starting tonight. It seems to be a new tradition for MLS, the first kick of…[continue reading]

It is that time again, the new season is here and I will make my annual Bold MLS Season Predictions. Last year I did alright in some predictions, and pretty poorly in others. In years past I’ve always thrown out a few random predictions to mix things up a bit so this isn’t just another…[continue reading]
