I saw this earlier this morning, some Portland Timbers fans love their team and their corn. Why not combine the two huh? Workers at the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvie Island have carved the Portland Timbers logo into their corn field. Not bad at all.

I think the crowd is a great motivator. For me, this is one of the best events - the Lamar Hunt Open Cup - but I'd really like to see it into a structure where it's not a bid system. A bid system is where one team will buy the games because they're bidding higher. I think 20 years ago, the college game was the same thing.

Hurricane Irene wrecked the east coast and did a little number in these MLS Power Rankings. Between the top clubs winning and most of the teams in the middle not playing due to the hurricane, there wasn’t a lot of movement. Still, Seattle and Dallas made a statement this past week that they are still…[continue reading]

Men’s college soccer got off to a bang this past weekend with plenty of quality games across the board. We got out first #1 vs #2 battle of the year and the defending national champions Akron opened up with a big win to show they still have a lot to prove. Here’s a quick recap…[continue reading]

It really is a bittersweet moment for FC Dallas and their fans. Defender George John is returning home to the club after his deal with EPL side Blackburn Rovers fell through this weekend. The hulking defender will now join his club in Seattle for a USOC semifinal game on Tuesday with the Sounders. It’s tough…[continue reading]
