Portland didn’t just win their first playoff match, last Saturday was the first time they had ever even lead a game in Seattle. Ryan Johnson scored early to put the Timbers up and Darlington Nagbe added another in the second half to seal it. Osvaldo Alonso pulled one back late, but there’s still at least […]

On April 20th, I joined the members of the Rebellion and the Midnight Riders to venture down to Red Bull Arena. The trip, my first as a Revolution fan, was filled with lively discussion, memorable chants and, of course, a copious amount of beer. The optimism felt as we marched towards the stadium was quickly […]

The New England Revolution returned to the playoffs in notable fashion by earning a 2-1 result over Sporting KC in the first leg of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. After a drab first half in which the Revs recorded no shots on targets, the home team received goals from Andy Dorman and Kelyn Rowe in the […]

It was a year that some did not expect much, or anything at all, from the 2013 New York Red Bulls who are led by rookie Head Coach Mike Petke. A lot of the big time television pundits had Petke gone midseason, especially after NY’s shaky start to the campaign. No one saw them as […]

Caleb Porter has more than established himself as a great coach in Major League Soccer. His style, planning, and roster changes have led to a 23 point, 6 win, and 20 goal increase in just one year. Five of those goals came last week when the Timbers played Chivas USA to a 5-0 win in […]

Dom Kinnear and the Dynamo know what to do when the playoffs start. Last night at BBVA Compass the Dynamo shut out the Montreal Impact 3-0 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals where they will take on the New York Red Bulls. Will Bruin scored twice and the Dynamo kept their composure as things […]

We asked a few of our writers what they thought would happen in this year's MLS playoffs. Who will win the West? Who will win the East? Who will win the Cup? That and more, after the jump. Western Conference Winner Max Aguirre – Portland (Yes, I'm a homer). LA upsets RSL and the Timbers […]

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t expect Sporting Kansas City to be in a position to obtain the Supporters Shield a couple months ago. A couple months ago, teams like the Montreal Impact, Seattle Sounders and New York Red Bulls were in the drivers seat either by leading the conference or having multiple games […]

SANTA CLARA, CA — An MLS legend hung up his boots tonight in front of a sold out Buck Shaw Stadium. Ramiro Corrales, the only active player remaining in the MLS who played in the inaugural MLS season back in 1996, stepped on the pitch for the final time. Corrales’ illustrious 18 year career consisted […]

The New England Revolution earned a playoff berth for the first time since 2009 when they defeated the Columbus Crew 1-0 on Sunday. Juan Agudelo’s goal in the 28th minute snapped a scoreless streak that dated back to August 25th and helped the Revs cap a perfect October during which they went 3-0-1. The Crew, […]

The anxiety and anticipation of tonight’s match is almost at its peak. At 5pm eastern, the New York Red Bulls host eastern conference foes Chicago Fire in what could be a historic day out at Red Bull Arena. It’s the Red Bulls most important home match Red Bull Arena has hosted to date and the […]

Last Saturday night in Portland was a preview of the western conference playoffs. Number 2 Real Salt Lake didn’t even register a shot on goal in the scoreless draw against the conference leading Timbers. The single earned point lowers Portland’s shot at the Supporter’s shield, but was enough to keep them in first through the […]

An all encompassing look at the reign, rise, and demise of Schellas Hyndman’s career as FC Dallas’ manager is in the works, but it will not end until the final whistle this afternoon in Northern California. FCD is no longer in the playoff hunt, and they haven’t been for weeks. The cracks were evident […]

Three down, one to go. With just one match remaining in the 2013 MLS regular season, Chicago Fire finally face a “win andyour in” situation. With a win on Sunday in New York the Fire will assure themselves a spot in the 2013 postseason. After the atrocious start to 2013 the fact that the Fire face […]

Going into the Saturday night game in New England, the black and gold had to win their final two games of the season (both against the New England Revolution) and hope for results in other places around the MLS to go in their favor. The Revolution themselves were still vying for a playoff spot coming […]
