The New Era: Part 2

Forget about next season and forget about the continued uncertainty surrounding Chivas USA. Opening day for this club is, and always has been, a huge deal. Every year it begs the question of can they turn around their fortunes? Can they banish the nightmares of the previous year? With the sale of the club imminent, […]

Colorado Rapids 2014 Season Preview

In the weeks leading up to the start of a fresh MLS season, I cannot help, but be excited for my club. I am admittedly a homer, but will try to be as objective as possible throughout my writings for Total-MLS. Seeing as this is my first publication for Total-MLS, please allow me to introduce […]

Sporting KC Loses Late To Seattle Sounders In Season Opener

Sporting Kansas City opened their season as defending MLS Champions.  The team who were perennial losers in almost all facets both on the field and in the front office is now transformed into the winners you see today.  The team who was just looking for respect now has that and will have the distinction of […]

Carolina RailHawks 2014 Season Preview

Lets start this off simply: The 2013 Carolina RailHawks were the most consistent and impressive team during the entirety of the NASL season. The RailHawks finished second in both the Spring and Fall Seasons, but finished atop the overall standings with 43 points when the Fall campaign came to a close. They were undefeated at […]

Fire Open Season with Heartbreaking Loss

New season, new coach, same problems. The Chicago Fire opened their 2014 campaign with a heartbreaking 3-2 loss away to Chivas USA. It was a tough loss, especially after the Fire fought back from down 2-0 to tie the match. It wasn’t the loss, however, that has some Fire fans ready to hit the panic […]

RSL Win Fifth Straight Season Opener

I’ll admit it. It’s tough to predict what will happen in a season opener. But for Real Salt Lake over the last five seasons, the smart money is on a win. Real Salt Lake held on Saturday night to defeat the L.A. Galaxy via a Joao Plata goal in the 80th minute. The win gives […]

Impact Fall in Frisco

Despite the winter storm chilling the air, the Impact players where ready for the season to start. My favourite play of the night was created by Justin Mapp; no, it’s not just because of his irresistible hair style. Mapp’s incredibly dangerous left foot created the perfect opportunity for Nyassi, 10 minutes into the match, a […]

Whitecaps Thump New York

The fans packed into BC Place on Saturday afternoon to watch a home team that underwent major offseason changes. Coming into the season the main question circling the Whitecaps was will this team be able to score goals? If last night was any indication of what the future holds, goal scoring will not be an issue as […]

Improved Style of Play Earns Union a Draw in Opener

On Saturday the Union traveled to the newly named Providence Park to face the Portland Timbers for their first game of the 2014 season. The game ended in a 1-1 draw but the final score does not reflect the Union’s performance.     Throughout the game the Union displayed a new and different style of […]

DC United Continue 2013 Form With a Loss Against Crew

DC United returned to RFK Saturday night with great expectation as MLS kicked off. However, the new-look DC continued to play like the team of last season falling 3-0 to the Columbus Crew. Jairo Arrieta opened the scoring for the Crew in the first half, and Fredrico Higuain grabbed a brace to insure a Gregg […]

Revs Suffer Worst Defeat of Heaps Era

Three goals inside the first 30 minutes of the game forced the New England Revolution to swallow their worst season opening result in club history as they were downed 4-0 by the Houston Dynamo on Saturday night. The scoring started in the 2nd minute when club captain Jose Goncalves made a rare misstep to afford […]

Re-Tooled Galaxy Defense Key vs RSL

Yes, it's finally March and it begins with a bang for LA. The Galaxy get a chance to redeem themselves from their post-season lost versus a Real Salt Lake team that will be finding themselves after Jason Kries left the team to head up NYC FC after their MLS Cup loss. Expect the Galaxy to […]

Red Bulls Open Another Season in Cascadia

Last year, the New York Red Bulls opened their Supporter Shield winning campaign against the Portland Timbers. The storyline heading into that match was two rookie head coaches squaring off against each other in Mike Petke and Caleb Porter. No one knew what to expect out of either coach on the season and some believed […]

Timbers Face Union in 2014 Home Opener

The Portland Timbers host the Philadelphia Union at Providence Park this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with every intention of earning three points. Expectations are high in the stands and the locker room after the team’s most successful year in Major League Soccer. March 8th also marks the regular season debut of Gaston Fernandez and Norberto […]
