MLS Power Rankings: Week 12


When you have a week with ten games and six of those end in a draw (three being scoreless) you end up with little change in the rankings. At least at the top that is. I did move a couple teams around in the bottom half of the rankings. Just look at the standings for…[continue reading]

US Must Move Past Spain For The Gold Cup


Like most of you, I sat through the US-Spain game on Saturday. It wasn’t enjoyable in any sense in the first half and while the second half got better it was still rather…ugh. Generally I’m a fan of playing the top teams in the world. I am. You get to put your best out against…[continue reading]

What To Watch For: MLS Week 12

FIFA Elections and Their Madness


I’ve sort of kept my peace about FIFA and their madness as of late. Same goes for the drama with CONCACAF yesterday. Honestly I’ve been busy with work and other soccer ventures that I just didn’t have the time or energy to comment. Well this photo just about sums up all the energy I have…[continue reading]
