Every team has that one guy that will either help lead them to the MLS promise-land or be partly the reason why they are stuck at home in November instead of seeing the playoffs. These are you X-Factor players. I have one (maybe two) guys for each MLS team that are those X-Factors for this…[continue reading]

We’re a little over half way home in our look at each Major League Soccer club this winter. So far we’ve hammered out Chicago, Colorado, Chivas, Columbus, DC, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, and Philadelphia in out preseason look ins. So far this winter the LA Galaxy have had a similar offseason that we expected them…[continue reading]

Today we’ve learned who MLS Commissioner Don Garber will be selecting for his picks in this year’s All-Star game.  In previous years Garber has picked guys in the final years of their career or guys that were “snubbed” by the voters. Today Garber selected two RSL players (the game is at Rio Tinto Stadium): Kyle…[continue reading]

I love a good holiday weekend. That’s why these previews are coming today instead of it’s usual Friday timeslot. Even with the holiday comes loads of extras for me to be doing and sitting in front of my laptop isn’t going to be one of them. After a couple weekends of SuperLiga play breaking up…[continue reading]

Even with only a few games this past week in Major League Soccer we still had plenty of quality goals to mention for goal of the week. Order of video: Todd Dunivant, Fredy Montero, Nate Jaqua, Yura Movsisyan, Clint Mathis, Dwayne De Rosario, and Omar Cummings (no audio on his goal).

Then you have that all important game on Sunday afternoon over in South Africa between the US and Brazil. I won’t go into any big detail about…[continue reading]

But I’ll just stick with the MLS games for the evening to preview. RSL returns home to host the Galaxy who just scored their first win of the…[continue reading]

Plenty of goals this week, mostly due to the RSL thrashing of New England. Still there were plenty of quality strikes that were goal of the week material. I’ve put together my usual list of goals for the week. If you think I missed a quality goal just let me know. The order goes as…[continue reading]

In case you haven’t seen the news, the Clint Mathis deal to Real Salt Lake is now complete. RSL acquired the MLS rights to Mathis from the LA Galaxy in exchange for a conditional fourth round pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. Some like this move, some don’t. I’m sort of inbetween here on it.…[continue reading]

It appears a deal is very close to being reached between Real Salt Lake and Clint Mathis. All the club has to do is get all the paperwork done and finalize a deal with Mathis’s rights holder, Los Angeles. I’m being told now that the Galaxy will trade Mathis’s rights to RSL for either a…[continue reading]
