Time for the final positional ranking group today, the forwards. To recap, here are the keeper rankings from last week, Monday’s defender rankings, and yesterday’s midfield rankings. For me the forwards were fairly cut and dry. The top eight or so teams were pretty simple to figure out and really you could argue any way between them and probably…[continue reading]

Now that the Brian Ching saga is over and done with we can now look back on what the Montreal Impact probably should have done instead of playing the hardball game with Ching and the Houston Dynamo. Obviously getting just a conditional draft pick* isn’t bad but for the most part it wasn’t what Montreal…[continue reading]

The Brian Ching saga is over. The Houston Dynamo have reacquired Ching from the Montreal Impact in exchange for a conditional draft pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft. Yes, just for a conditional draft pick. The Impact end up being the big losers on this deal after playing hardball back in November. At best they’ll…[continue reading]

I didn’t get to this yesterday, forgive me I was a bit under the weather. I talked last week about how Montreal Impact forward Brian Ching was doing with his stay in MLS’s newest city. So far it seemed okay until yesterday took a turn for the…well…expected. [blackbirdpie url="https://twitter.com/impactmontreal/status/169104069573623809"] Yes, personal reasons. Read between the…[continue reading]

As bad as it was back in November, both Brian Ching and the Houston Dynamo are ready to move past the whole expansion draft fiasco. Ching – now a member of the Montreal Impact – played the Dynamo yesterday in a preseason scrimmage. The mood was not as hostile as one would have imagined it…[continue reading]

Week 14 in Major League Soccer looks to get kicked off with a bang. The Houston Dynamo travel north to face their old mate Dwayne De Rosario and Toronto FC at BMO Field. TFC looks to continue their impressive home record this season while the Dynamo are hoping to begin getting some consistent play going…[continue reading]

I realized I’ve slacked on my World Cup hype duties these last couple months and now that the big event is a month and a half away I need to pick it up here. Today just seems like a good day to talk about the USMNT and who Bob Bradley will call into camp next…[continue reading]

So week number two in Major League Soccer is a short one. Seriously? After a full slate last week and what I believe will be a full one next week, how come so many clubs are off this weekend? Easter? Passover? NCAA Final Four? My bet is its due to Easter and clubs not wanting…[continue reading]

I’ll admit I nearly forgot about this game yesterday and then I nearly forgot to post some thoughts about it. Honestly I didn’t get much out of the game other than the fact that both Heath Pearce and Brian Ching are definitely in line for a World Cup roster spot right now. The two better…[continue reading]

The 2010 season presents a challenge for Dominic Kinnear and the Houston Dynamo. First of all their top two stars from a year ago are now gone to Europe. Stuart Holden and Ricardo Clark left a big hole in the midfield and some would even argue that the club is still recovering from the trade…[continue reading]
