It’s a plug for my pal Jeremiah Oshan over at SBNation.com. He did an excellent story that just went up today about physical play in MLS. I believe it is well worth a read. Of course a lot of this stems from the recent injuries to Steve Zakuani and David Ferreira. I thought a quote…[continue reading]

A busy weekend is upon us here in Major League Soccer. Eight games stretched out over two days and we’ve already gotten off to a fun start after last night’s two games ended in a bit of a surprise finish. Both D.C. United and the Colorado Rapids came into their games as slumping clubs but…[continue reading]

This week gets started a little early with a pair of games tonight. Both should be good games as they each feature a club on a hot six-game unbeaten run. The Seattle Sounders FC and the Houston Dynamo are doing very well at the moment while their opponents tonight are struggling to find their ways…[continue reading]

With the idea that Pachuca down in Mexico would put up all their players on the transfer market, including two US players (Herculez Gomez and Jose Torres), got me thinking that I really needed to update this list again.

After last week’s first leg in the Spanish capital which was…[continue reading]

The new show will include redesigned, state-of-the-art graphics to headline the new look, along…[continue reading]

Another week is in the books here. Week seven showed a fair amount of movement as clubs begin to separate themselves a little more. I think we’re definitely starting to get a top group of clubs or contenders if you will. While in the middle there are a hand full of clubs that will likely…[continue reading]

It may be early in the season but the class of rookies are already showing their worth. Between the SuperDraft picks and the academy kids that will likely be considered rookies this season, the race for Rookie of the Year will be a hot one. For me right now, one kid is standing firm as…[continue reading]

After the tough week Major League Soccer had to endure in week six, this past week was a big of a change, well in some ways at least. We did however see more of the same as Philadelphia won yet another 1-0 game, D.C. United began looking like their 2010 self again, and New York…[continue reading]
