We know Major League Soccer wants to shove rivalries down our throats, and for good reason too as they are a big money maker for them and the clubs involved. The Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas are starting to turn up the heat on their Texas rivalry here this year, ahead of their first meeting…[continue reading]

Every morning I see MLSSoccer.com’s Kick Off hit my inbox and then my twitter stream. Today, there was a little blurb about MLS Expansion so of course I was eager to check it out. It turns out the owner of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings is planning on building a new stadium and wants to attract…[continue reading]

Week 9 in Major League Soccer gets started a little early again here. Three games tonight, four if you count a friendly between New York and a soon-to-be MLS side in Montreal. Plenty to get done today so the picks will be quick as usual, don’t worry my What To Watch For post will be…[continue reading]

I just wrote up a little piece on how MLS Cup is going back to LA for SBnation.com. Yeah, I can’t say I’m overly thrilled with this news. While I like the HDC as a venue and a host for MLS Cup, I don’t like the start time for the game. A 9pm ET start…[continue reading]

With plenty of games and most of them ending in a draw, the Power Rankings didn’t see a whole lotta movement. As expected though Real Salt Lake returned to the top of the mountain but boy did their 1-0 win over Chivas USA come at a price. The loss of Javier Morales will be very…[continue reading]

After Wednesday’s interesting clashes and Friday’s debut of Soccer Night in America, the weekend bill brought loads of draws and yet another star player with a broken bone. 1. Bitter win for RSL. There is no simple way to…[continue reading]

The Major League Soccer Player’s Union have released their 2011 salary information. You can view them here by ABC order or by club. Pouring over the many names listed there are some interesting items to point out. First, there were some increases built into the CBA. The minimum also increased to $42,000 for first team players, but…[continue reading]

For some reason this week just pasted me by here. Maybe that was because work wasn’t too bad on the day-job front this week and I was able to relax a bit. More than likely that won’t be the case next week as we move further into May. This is a busy-busy month soccer wise…[continue reading]

It is true what they say, fail to quality for a World Cup that many believe you are a shoe-in to make and you’ll lose your job for it. That is the case for US U-20 National team coach Thomas Rongen who was let go today by the USSF. The USSF will not have his contract…[continue reading]
