Time for some attendance numbers for you attendance geeks out there. The Sports Business Daily released current attendance figures to date in comparison to this time last season. As expected the league has enjoyed a 6.3% raise in folks at the gate with only five clubs seeing negative percentages (The Union are one of those teams in…[continue reading]

I just posted this over at SBNation.com. The Colorado Rapids title defense suffered a major setback today with the news that Conor Casey is out with an Achilles tendon injury for the next eight-to-ten months. The injury happened in a non-contact play. Definitely a freak accident as no one from Seattle caused the play (and…[continue reading]

Another week down in MLS and another week that the draws keep most of the clubs where they were a week ago. Only a couple movers in this week’s rankings as Seattle leaped over Dallas, Portland moved up and Colorado began their fall further down. Hopefully next week we start seeing some changes again as…[continue reading]

Forgive me for being a tad late to this party. I’ve been away from the computer for most of the day and I’m starting to catch up here. The 2011 MLS All-Star Game roster was announced this afternoon and for the most part, the 20-man game roster from Hans Backe isn’t too shocking. Only a…[continue reading]

A little Canadian news for the start of the week. It was reported over the weekend by TSN in Canada that expansion on Saputo Stadium has been delayed and that the Montreal Impact will not being their expansion season in MLS next year in it until at least the summer of 2012.

I saw this ESPN special over the weekend. Every year they do a special where they get kids who do a “Make a Wish” with a professional athlete or a team. This one centers around Landon Donovan. A young kid fighting off Leukemia finds inspiration in the USA Men’s National Team and World Cup hero Donovan.…[continue reading]

I know I haven’t done a whole lot of Women’s World Cup talk these last couple weeks (a shame I know) but I thought this was cool photo of President Barack Obama and his family watching the game from the White House. I know his two girls play soccer but wouldn’t it be something if…[continue reading]

Toronto isn’t done dealing yet. Today the club made yet another deal, this time with Trillium Cup rival Columbus Crew. The two sides played the trade game today as Columbus sent central defender Andy Iro and midfielder Leandre Griffit to Toronto for midfielder Tony Tchani. Very, very interesting move for the two sides. The two main…[continue reading]

Even with a day off from work I’ll probably be fairly light today on here (have family in from out of town, they’re kind of important to me). It will be a busy weekend in Major League Soccer though, all but two teams are in league action, only one is truly off (Toronto). The World…[continue reading]
