Crafty Commercials From The Fire


I have to give it up to the Chicago Fire and their digital crew. They produced two crafty commercials for this weekend’s game against the Crew. One is Dominic Oduro running fast through the grocery store, celebrating an orange going into a bag like a goal and just well, being fast. The other is keeper…[continue reading]

2012 MLS, Week 9: What To Watch For


Whew. Last night was quite a night in Major League Soccer. One game had eight goals, while the other two combined for five. Crazy night really when you throw in the two Amway Canadian Championship to the mix. Now it is time to focus on the weekend ahead, all clubs that were involved in games…[continue reading]

2012 MLS, Week 8: What To Watch For


Midweek games here in Dallas never cease to amazing me at how much it breaks up my week. Normal weeks have me doing the same old thing but a game smack dap in the middle of the week is a nice break. Last night’s RSL-FC Dallas game was a good one to get the new…[continue reading]

Dominic Oduro Is Fast, Really Fast


Somehow I missed this on Friday when I was home, not doing work and being a lazy bum. Chicago Fire front office dudes Brendan Hannan and Jeff Crandall dared Chicago Fire forward Dominic Oduro to a race. Oduro bet his entire pay check on beating Hannan and Crandall, and as expected the self-proclaimed fastest man…[continue reading]

2012 MLS Positional Rankings: Forwards


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]

Looking at 2010: Houston Dynamo


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]

Oduro Sent To Houston


Every year it seems Dominic Kinnear makes a small move that pays off in a big way down the line. This could very well be that move as the club announced today that they have traded for forward Dominic Oduro from New York in exchange for a 2010 first-round pick in the MLS SuperDraft and…[continue reading]

Another six game weekend slate for us, with four on Saturday and two for Sunday kicks.…[continue reading]
