MLS 2011, Week 32: Picks


It has been a long season and we have come down to this, one final weekend of games. The New York Red Bulls kind of took some of the sting out of the weekend with their 1-0 win last night over the Philadelphia Union. Still there are some games with meaning this weekend. We don’t…[continue reading]

MLS Wednesday Quick Pick: Revs at Union


I will try to keep this one fairly brief. Both the New England Revolution and the Philadelphia Union come into tonight’s midweek clash a bit on the downside.

MLS Week 25: Picks


This was suppose to be an off weekend in Major League Soccer. One of those rare weekends that the league decided to take off so players could be with their countries for important FIFA-related games or friendlies.

MLS Week 23: Picks


It is finally Friday. Moving into the weekend phase of this week is something I’ve been looking forward to since well…last weekend. In all seriousness though, Major League Soccer shifts into their weekend phase after three decent midweek games.
