Many clubs are a few weeks into their pre-seasons and now that the international transfer window has shut, it is a good time to look at how each MLS side has done so far this winter. (Note: the MLS window doesn’t close until April, which means players who failed to land new jobs in Europe…[continue reading]

“I asked Peter (Monday at YSC) what was going on and he didn’t let me talk. He started to get mad at me, telling me that I was very not respectful to leave Bolton early. I told him, ‘First, I respect myself.’ But I always did everything they asked me to do. I came from vacation in the Dominican Republic for the Bimbo (sponsorship) announcement. I always was respectful. … It was like he was saying, ‘I don’t know if I can trust you on this team.’ “I would be happy to just retire than play for Peter again."~ Sebastien Le Toux
Wowzer. There is a lot to this story but man that line at the end really jumps out at you. This was such a sticky situation – at least for Le Toux it was.

Hard to believe it but the Philadelphia Union are close to selling their biggest star, Sebastien Le Toux. To further drive home the rumor, Le Toux tweeted the following: Ives later goes on to report that Bolton could be the landing spot for Le Toux.

So what do you all think of these new Philadelphia Union kits for next year? Very interesting if you ask me. You can buy them both here.

Entering the 2011 season, I felt the Philadelphia Union were a team that could surprise a few folks and be a dark horse pick to make the playoffs. Turns out they made the playoffs but couldn’t get any further than the semifinal round after their loss to the Houston Dynamo last night. Philly has plenty…[continue reading]

Here is a little story I wrote for SBNation.com earlier today. Tomorrow’s Sporting KC-Philadelphia game has so many meanings behind it but for me the defense is the biggest key for both club’s success. This game has the makings of being totally open in the offense if the defenses fail to show up.
