I suppose the rest of the year for the Chicago Fire is now the Brian McBride farewell tour. McBride announced today that he is retiring at the end of the season from professional soccer.

As for Chivas a win tonight and a win over the weekend could turn into a Supporter’s Shield trophy. But more importantly for the…[continue reading]

Order of goals: Jamie Moreno, Ramon Sanchez, Ryan Johnson, Sacha Kljestan, Juan Pablo Angel, Dwayne De Rosario, Chad Barret, Brian McBride, Jeff Cunningham,…[continue reading]

A full weekend is upon us here as we head into the final month of the season. Once again we have a weekend that has a lot of playoff implications from top to bottom. Can the spoilers like KC and San Jose step up and bring down some clubs gunning for the playoffs? Can teams…[continue reading]

There’s not too many more weekends left in the 2009 regular season. Week 27 is a full one as we gear towards the playoffs in a few weeks.
