Just as promised, even if it is a day behind normal schedule here. Plenty of solid goals this past week in Major League Soccer. I particularly love some of the combinations in plays like the Columbus game between Jason Garey and Steven Lenhart. By the way, what was with Rob Stone’s Max Bretos call on…[continue reading]

Only a few goals to really mention this week. Some were game-tying goals so they were important and others were just pretty nice to look at. Feel free as always to add a goal that you think I missed here. My favorite had to be Santino Quaranta’s deep strike on Chivas to tie the game…[continue reading]

Two midweek games for week eight. A big night in general if you count Toronto FC’s game in the Canadian Champion tonight against future MLS side Vancouver. 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]

Back for another week of 2009 season previews here. Today we head out to Hollywood to preview the LA Galaxy. The Gals missed the playoffs again last year due to a horrible defense that allowed a MLS best 62 goals. The offseason has been spent with loads of chaos surrounding loan deals with David Beckham.…[continue reading]

We finally got some confirmation that two deals went down today that we’ve been talking about for a couple days now. LA Galaxy ships striker Carlos Ruiz to Toronto FC for a first and second round pick in the 2009 MLS Supplemental Draft and salary budget considerations. The Galaxy also sign veteran midfielder/defender Eddie Lewis.…[continue reading]

Well crap, no more than two second after I hit save on the last post about Toronto FC releasing Laurent Robert to possibly make room for Carlos Ruiz, I get an update saying that Ruiz has been shipped off to Toronto. Yep, the LA Galaxy have traded Carlos Ruiz to Toronto FC, according to SBI.…[continue reading]

Surprise, surprise…the LA Galaxy are still shopping Guatemalan striker Carlos Ruiz. The main reason why The Fish is back on the trading block (was he really ever off?) is due to LA’s desire to claim Eddie Lewis through the allocation system. They would need to free up some space and dump Ruiz as we all…[continue reading]

The day after the front office fire sale in LA, the Galaxy are set to make a couple more moves. I have learned that LA has decided to pass on former US National team member Cory Gibbs and go for Eddie Lewis with their top spot in the allocation list. (We had previously said Gibbs…[continue reading]

Hope everyone is having a nice Thursday as we gear up for another MLS Primetime clash tonight with Houston and Dallas. In the meantime let’s dive back into the rumors and speculations surrounding some former MLS players returning to the States to play in the league once again. We’ve talked about the Brian McBride return…[continue reading]
