Well not bad, got to say I am 1-1 this week on the picks. Not a bad start I would say. Lots of games this weekend, six to be exact, only team to be left off the weekend festivities is Chicago who will be thinking about how they are going to fire (no pun intended…[continue reading]

Another Thursday night preview here at the Hooligan. I was totally off last night but in all honesty I was not the least bit surprised with Toronto’s victory over Houston. I may comment on that game later on but for the time being I feel almost safe saying that Houston won’t repeat this year as…[continue reading]

I wasn’t really planning on writing a whole lot today after the various news items I discussed yesterday. But I wanted to talk a bit about the parity that is so evident in the league right now. It seems at times that this season the teams are playing a giant game of musical chairs, over…[continue reading]

One game tonight in the league. Houston travels north of the border to face a fairly hot Toronto club at an even hotter BMO Field. Houston has had a week off to regroup and gel a bit more after an impressive road win against Colorado. Dewayne de Rosario found his stroke in the 3-1 win…[continue reading]

Last couple days or so there has been an interesting trade rumor floating about in the league that really makes no sense what so ever. It all started in Sunday’s LA Times, saying that the Galaxy were entertaining the idea to trade for Carlos Ruiz. FC Dallas’s front office caught wind of it and wasn’t…[continue reading]

I guess I am a little late on this news but for the most part I was trying to figure out exactly what I thought about it. A couple days ago it was reported that Abel Xavier, a Portuguese defender will join the LA Galaxy later this summer once the transfer window opens up. Xavier…[continue reading]

A few shake ups in the power rankings this week because of how teams are playing or not playing. A couple teams had the week off but it shouldn’t affect too much of their ranking really. And lastly I am still a bit confused on why some people insist on ranking certain teams as high…[continue reading]

I got the “I told you so’s” out of the way and I just wanted to put a cap on this past weekend because it was a very entertaining weekend of play in the league. Contrast between who is playing well and who isn’t is intriguing because its almost a flip-flop of how the teams…[continue reading]

Isn’t it odd how things are starting to shape up in the league? Sure it was a mere one game for a couple of teams for me to base this standing on but for others it has been building up. It’s strange how I was wrong about some teams but now they are proving to…[continue reading]
