By Geoff Reid Chelsea vs Manchester United from Stamford Bridge, London Another great match-up and this one being a repeat of the 2008 final for the Premier League rivals. Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech tried to set some sparks off by claiming that United didn’t really win the final three years ago, but at the end…[continue reading]

For most clubs, even the great ones, there is always a moment of panic late in a match in a two legged series when one team is packing on the pressure to get a series-tying goal. Last night against Saprissa in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinal, Real Salt Lake saw that moment and brushed it…[continue reading]

By Geoff Reid Today marks the start of the final eight competing for European footballs top crown and over the next few weeks there are some extremely exciting match-ups available on offer. Real Madrid vs Tottenham from the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid What a match to kick off the quarter finals! The big guns should be…[continue reading]

Either history will be made tonight for Real Salt Lake or a bitter sting of defeat will happen. RSL takes the weight of all of Major League Soccer and US Soccer for that matter in to the Monster’s Cave (or Ricardo Saprissa Stadium) down in San Jose, Costa Rica, as they face off against Saprissa tonight…[continue reading]

Week three is in the books.

First we thought it was an April Fools Day scam, then it became reality, then it fell apart, but now it is official. Toronto FC has traded star midfielder Dwayne De Rosario to the New York Red Bulls in exchange for defensive midfielder Toni Tchani and midfielder Danliegh Borman, along with a first round draft…[continue reading]

I love PR departments at MLS clubs that have a good sense of humor. Look no further than to Chivas USA and their staff for pumping out this rather amusing April Fools Day joke. These are their “Spring” jerseys for this season and were designed by former Mexican international goalkeeper Jorge Campos. Ah, such jokesters there…[continue reading]

This weekend in Major League Soccer is a tad lighter, in a way it takes me back to a time with fewer clubs in the league. Okay, maybe not. It is Friday, so that means it is prediction time. Let’s not waste anymore time. Friday FC Dallas at Columbus Crew: Both need points, and in…[continue reading]
