Normally in my season previews I go team-by-team but this year as I mentioned earlier in the week I am doing something a little different. Instead of the old way I’m trying something new to break up the content and give folks a little more room for discussion. Today’s topic is all about who is…[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]

EDIT: Currently experiencing some issues with this video…check back later to see if it is work! Sorry for the hassle! A decent amount of goals this week. I’ve once again put together the usual list of my favorites. I may have missed a couple others though but these are the ones I thought were the…[continue reading]

One could say the 13th week of the season was sort of a changing of the guard type week. Entering the week we had two seemingly clear front-runners in each conference. After the dust settled on the week we now have two new leaders in each conference. The luck changed for some clubs looking to…[continue reading]

Tonight’s western conference battle is a big one. Not only is Major League Soccer getting a primetime clash on ESPN2 on a night without the NBA Finals or the NHL Stanley Cup Finals. But they are also getting the league’s two best clubs showcased in front of a national audience. You really can’t beat that…[continue reading]

Give serious credit to Houston Dynamo manager Dominic Kinnear for his latest tweak to his roster. Today the club announced another trade, just weeks after their trade for Dominic Oduro from New York. The club sent forward Chris Chris Wondolowski and a conditional pick in next year’s MLS draft to the San Jose Earthquakes in…[continue reading]

While rookies have been doing well this year so far, so have the list of newcomers to the league that aren’t rookies. It seems like last year we talked at length about the lack of positive newcomers until the summer months when guys like Darren Huckerby came into town for the San Jose Earthquakes. This…[continue reading]

Week number two is finally in the books here. We saw six games come and go with only a few goals this week to even mention. Loads of draws across the land early on Saturday, but the night came with the goals as the Seattle-RSL game and Houston-San Jose game saw more action than the…[continue reading]

From year to year we see a crop of newcomers in the league that either take the league by storm or they fail to do much of anything (like most of last year’s). The 2009 bunch so far seems to be doing quite well in compairson to the 2008 bunch. First of all we know…[continue reading]

Almost near the end of our season previews here. Today we head out west yet again for the last of the California clubs with a visit to San Jose. The Quakes are in year two, and while expectations aren’t sky high the Quake fans probably expect a solid turnaround from their last place finish a…[continue reading]
