Back at it for the 2009 season. Nearly every club in action this weekend with five games on Saturday evening and one lone match on Sunday afternoon. Just as yesterday I will try to give just a quick preview, a couple questions, and score prediction. Nothing too fancy since I don’t get to see every…[continue reading]

I’ve been over this a thousand times really this past week or so. Columbus and New York together in the MLS Cup for the first time for each club. Amazing that this will be the first time since the first MLS Cup back in 1996 that both clubs never won a MLS Cup will have…[continue reading]

So it comes down to this, the two most unlikely candidates to play for a chance at a MLS Cup birth tomorrow night. If you had pegged New York against Real Salt Lake a conference semifinal this year then you obviously knew something more than anyone else in the MLS world. Seriously though, at the…[continue reading]

With the game a mere two hours or so away, I put this preview/prediction off long enough. I must admit, I have no idea who I think will win or even who I’d want to win this game between Chicago and Columbus. Part of me thinks Chicago and the other part of me kind of…[continue reading]

You’ve got to love the return leg in a home-and-away series. The home leg is for the higher seed and as we saw last night the higher seed made the most of it as the Chicago Fire dominated the New England Revolution in a 3-0 thrashing. I sort of see the three home seeds doing…[continue reading]

It’s a bit weird when you are driving into work and you hear something on the radio that makes your head turn. That was today for me on my way into work. Listening, as always, to ESPN Radio I heard a SportsCenter update that actually mentioned a MLS game. I was stunned because usually it…[continue reading]

Well last night was a dud. A real ball-buster of a way to start the playoffs for Major League Soccer. Two solid teams go head-to-head in front of maybe 5,000 people in New England. Tough break really, I know it was cold and a mid-week but come on, it’s playoff time baby! Well the playoffs…[continue reading]

It’s just what we’ve been waiting for, playoff soccer. For the next two weeks we get a Thursday night contest with two of the league’s best with Chicgo and New England squaring off in the first round of the playoffs. This rivalry has been one of the best in the past few years as these…[continue reading]

Just one final weekend stands between four MLS clubs and playoff glory. Thing is only two of those clubs will be able to enjoy that glory. The old “Just Win Baby” slogan will ring true to those four clubs. One club did catch a break last night as Kansas City punched their ticket to the…[continue reading]

That’s the one question going on tonight on MLS Primetime Thursday. Can the New York Red Bulls clinch a playoff birth with a win tonight in Chicago? It’s that simple for the Energy Drinkers, a win and they are in but a loss will make this a little more interesting for the weekend ahead. On…[continue reading]
