The Montreal Impact aren’t wasting any time here in building their roster. In the second move of the day for the new club they have traded for veteran international keeper Donovan Ricketts from the Los Angeles Galaxy in exchange for allocation money. I had a sneaky suspension that Ricketts would get traded this winter or…[continue reading]

The first of the MLS season awards have been handed out and one may be a surprise to some. Today the league announced that LA Galaxy keeper Donovan Ricketts is the 2010 Goalkeeper of the Year and that D.C. United midfielder Andy Najar is the league’s Rookie of the Year. Najar appeared in 26 games…[continue reading]

Are you ready for tomorrow? Seriously, are you ready? Eight games in one day, a new league record. We knew this day would come eventually with all the expansion in the league and kudos to the league for putting one so early in the season too. If you’re like me, you’ll find tomorrow to be…[continue reading]

While the day seems to be lost on everyone’s Twitter feeds being down, I figured it was a good time to get back in the award discussion once again here. Instead of waiting for putting this in the evening links and thoughts I figured I would break this discussion off into it’s own post for…[continue reading]

We steam roll into another weekend of soccer here starting with one game tonight along with a full slate of games tomorrow. Week 19 is the final week before the league’s All-Star break next week. Plenty of good things will come out of next week during the league’s usual meetings that will go. We should…[continue reading]

While I’m still not the biggest fan of the MLS All-Star game set up I do love some of the build up in the voting process. I have to give loads of credit out there to the Galaxy front office for putting this together as they want their keeper Donovan Ricketts to be voted into…[continue reading]

Typically I do a version of this kind of thing for all MLS clubs but this time around I wanted to do something a little different with the typical Good, Bad, and Ugly column. Instead I will be looking at things in the league as a whole that I have liked, disliked and have absolutely…[continue reading]
