What We Learned: 2011 MLS Week 4

From the entertaining, yet frustrating Whitecaps-Revolution game on Wednesday all the way to the controversial finish in D.C. between United and the Galaxy. Below are some items I took away from this past week in MLS. 1. Revs have long way to go.…[continue reading]

What We Learned: 2011 MLS Week 2


One thing we should probably stress right now is that it is still very early in the season. I bring that up right out of the gate so some fans don’t go nutty when they realize their club is two games in with zero to one point, or if their club just got hammered this…[continue reading]

What We Learned: Week 1 Recap

What We Learned: Week 1 Recap

  I’ve been watching Major League Soccer since the league started back in 1996 and this may be the first time since that opening week that the league had such an amazing First Kick.

MLS Week 29 Recap: Playoffs Set…Well Sorta


We know who are in and who are out, that is really all we know after week 29. Kansas City failed to win in New England which immediately gave the Colorado Rapids a nudge into the playoffs for good, though their performance at the Home Depot Center showed it really didn’t matter in the end.…[continue reading]

MLS Weekend Recap: Week 26


Color me not surprised by this past weekend. I don’t mean to be negative or anything here but this weekend nearly went like I expected it to.

MLS Week 25 Thoughts and Notes


I hate to say my thoughts and notes for this week will be kept rather brief. I honestly wasn’t able to view a lot of this past weekend’s action other than highlights though I did jot a few notes down that I did gather from what I did see. Seattle’s Hot Feet, Columbus Struggles I…[continue reading]

MLS Week 24 Thoughts and Notes


It appears that the closer we get to the 2010 MLS Cup Playoffs the more the top eight in the league are breaking away from the rest of the pack. As of today LA is mathematically “in” while Columbus, Dallas, RSL and NY are all just points behind joining the Galaxy in the post season dance.…[continue reading]

A few clubs took a step forward this past weekend while others were taking two steps back. For the first time nearly all season the standings appear pretty tight in various spots.
