I’d normally like to get these predictions out much sooner but with all that has gone on this winter the day before First Kick seems about right really. The rosters became compliant at 5pm ET yesterday and thus will put an end to the preseason in a way for all the clubs. In the past…[continue reading]

We only have two more clubs to look at here in our preseason look-ins of each Major League Soccer club. Today we head to the Pacific Northwest to see how Sigi Schmid and his Seattle Sounders FC are doing this winter. For the most part things have been fairly quiet for last year’s expansion darlings.…[continue reading]

Everyone knew going into the 2009 season that the new kids on the block would make a splash. Just the kind of splash the league needed in some folks eyes.

From what we already know, Montero wants to be in Europe…[continue reading]

While rookies have been doing well this year so far, so have the list of newcomers to the league that aren’t rookies. It seems like last year we talked at length about the lack of positive newcomers until the summer months when guys like Darren Huckerby came into town for the San Jose Earthquakes. This…[continue reading]

Expansion side Seattle Sounders FC is closer now to filling out their roster with the addition of two more internationals. One from Trinidad and Tobago and the other from Columbia.
