It’s a plug for my pal Jeremiah Oshan over at SBNation.com. He did an excellent story that just went up today about physical play in MLS. I believe it is well worth a read. Of course a lot of this stems from the recent injuries to Steve Zakuani and David Ferreira. I thought a quote…[continue reading]

Like I mentioned yesterday, week six in Major League Soccer was a pretty ugly one. While the Red Bulls and Galaxy were stomping their way through their games, most of the folks out there were yet again focused on the fouls and one non-foul that hurt two big stars in the league. The last couple…[continue reading]

  We’ve pushed through the positional rankings on here and have done a few other previews to get things going for next week. It is time once again to dip back into the other previews for the upcoming 2011 Major League Soccer season. Today I will be taking a look at the possible MVP candidates…[continue reading]

It is finally here, the game we’ve all been waiting for since March. The 2010 MLS Cup is here and honestly I couldn’t be any more excited for this one (yes having my local side being in it helps). Having two clubs in this game that have yet to win a MLS Cup is pretty…[continue reading]

After the MLS State of the League address earlier this week by commissioner Don Garber there was little doubt about who won this year’s MVP award. Garber didn’t fully say it was FC Dallas striker David Ferreira but he pretty much gave it away. Well after all the formality today the league announced that Ferreira…[continue reading]

FC Dallas knocked out the defending champion…[continue reading]

For a couple weeks now I’ve held off on reveling my end of the year awards. I mainly wanted to see the season end and the playoffs begin before I wrote this all out. Plus I honestly had no idea how I wanted to present this. But on Election Day it just feels right to…[continue reading]

Smell that? Its the smell of October which means playoff soccer is right around the corner. Only three weeks left in the season and already we know of five clubs going to the post season dance. Three spots remain with really four clubs going for them. Sorry Toronto and Chicago you know your chances are…[continue reading]

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]

I had meant to get this up yesterday but I’ll admit I got side tracked and it didn’t happen. Anyways below are the highlights from Saturday’s exhibition between FC Dallas and the University of Tulsa. FC Dallas routed Tulsa 7-1 in this one as David Ferreira and Atiba Harris scored two goals apiece while Brek…[continue reading]
