The Evolution of the American Striker

The Evolution of the American Striker

By John Parker Brian Mcbride was a good player. So was Joe-Max Moore. Eric Wynalda held the American scoring record for nearly a decade.

MLS Weekend Preview: Week 11

WVH Rookie Watch Update


It has been a couple weeks since I posted anything on Major League Soccer’s rookie class for 2008. I decided to go away from the week-by-week account of the rookies and do this once or twice a month because this season, unlike many in previous years, is harder to judge the rookie talent due to…[continue reading]
