I honestly didn’t expect much expansion talk this week but I was proven wrong yet again. Should have thought better since we are quickly coming to that time of the year before the all-star break where the league sits down and decides where to go next. I would guess in the next month or so…[continue reading]

After a few weeks of nothing on the MLS expansion front, I get two solid days of information coming my way about possibly expansion sites for the MLS. Today we shift our focus back once more to San Jose and to the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. First with the Bay Area; some decent news…[continue reading]

Some people comment during, some right after, and some like to let it all sit in and report on it the next day.…[continue reading]
