Just three hours after selecting Dax McCarty with the first pick in the 2010 MLS Expansion Draft, Portland shipped McCarty and allocation money to D.C. United for Rodney Wallace and a fourth-round pick in the 2011 MLS SuperDraft. Yes, it happened that quickly. I think maybe Portland is trying to get the band back together from…[continue reading]

Keeping with the Expansion theme of the day it’s time to begin looking at each current MLS roster for the upcoming MLS Expansion Draft next month. Both Portland and Vancouver will be selecting 10 players each from the current rosters. Each MLS club will protect 11 players and will be able to protect an additional…[continue reading]

I wasn’t entirely sure I’d get to this offseason look at DC United today but extra time this afternoon came out of no where. So far these last couple weeks we’ve looked at a handfull of teams including Philadelphia, Chicago, Chivas, Colorado and Columbus. Today is all about the Black-and-Red who have seen a pretty…[continue reading]

I won’t lie, last night’s game between Chicago and Chivas put a sour taste in my mouth for this weekend. The game itself was entertaining but the officiating was lacking in quality as we’ve all seen by now. Hopefully this weekend won’t be filled with yellow and red cards or lots of questionable PK calls.…[continue reading]

A lot has been said about this year’s draft class. Going into the draft a lot of people thought it was a deep pool of players, more so than it had been in a few years. After eight or nine games for most clubs you could say those people figured right. Many rookies continue to…[continue reading]

Week eight has already kicked off with a bit of a bang with two draws on Wednesday night in Kansas City and in Salt Lake City. The RSL-LA draw was something to talk about for sure while the DC-KC draw was pretty much expected. Time to shift focus to the weekend however as we have…[continue reading]
