I don’t know how often an MLS referee loses control of a match but Saturday night's match at Red Bull Arena between New York and the New England Revolution was definitely one of them. Fotis Bazakos was officiating his 23rd MLS match tonight and it may have been his worse yet. Bad calls were made […]

Friday night’s match up saw the Dynamo taking on a team that had beat them by a combined scoreline of 7-0 in the first two meetings this season. This time, however, the Dynamo played the Montreal Impact at the friendly confines of BBVA Compass Stadium. Being at home ended up making a difference as the […]

This past Saturday the Union hosted Toronto FC in one of the most nerve-racking, yet exciting games this season. With the eastern conference being so tight, and only a 12 point differential between first and eighth place, every game is crucial. It was a close game but the Union won 1-0 and grasped a playoff […]

It took longer than expected but Rob Valentino has finally found home. The University of San Francisco standout left college early to pursue a career in Major League Soccer. Originally drafted by the New England Revolution, the powerful defender was traded to the Colorado Rapids. Valentino struggled to find time with either team and ended […]

After last weeks disgusting effort versus Real Salt Lake’s B team, the Whitecaps are in a do-or-die situation.

The New England Revolution and the New York Red Bulls shared the points on Saturday night as the refereeing once again supplied the primary talking points. The bulk of the match was an open affair between two playoff caliber teams. The final 15 minutes, however, were marred with controversy as referee Fotis Bazakos made several […]

At the end of the 2013 season the Portland Timbers are in the exact opposite position they were last year. Rather than sitting at the top of the Cascadia Cup race and the bottom of the conference, they’re third in the West and below both Vancouver and Seattle in cup play. Their only chance to […]

I don’t want to say it but I think I have to. I’m a DC United fan for the next four weeks. It has nothing to do with the teams shocking, Wigan-esque capture of the US Open Cup. Rather, it has everything to do with the New England Revolution’s playoff hopes. With eight teams still […]

DC United made the trip to Sandy, Utah, to face the Western Conference powerhouse in the 100th edition of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup Final with DC United’s last chance of salvaging something from this season on […]

On Saturday afternoon a rainstorm of epic proportions hit downtown Vancouver and the Whitecaps were forced to cancel the pre-game celebrations that take place outside BC Place. A sell-out crowd of 21,000 fans streamed into the stadium to watch the home team lose 1-0 to Real Salt Lake. The loss was made even more embarrassing […]

CARSON, CA — Would it be a true Earthquakes game if it didn’t end with someone saying “Goonies never say die”? Where would Quakes fans be without a match where they’re sitting on the edge of seats looking at the fresh pile of nail bits? Fortunately for the San Jose faithful, Sunday night’s game was […]

Heading into the home stretch of MLS play, Real Salt Lake notched a critical win at Vancouver to stop the points bleeding away from the last two losses. In so doing, they keep alive the chance of first place in the Western Conference and a possible Supporters’ Shield. But all of that will have to […]

With just a few weeks left in the season Chicago Fire need to approach every match as a must win. Saturday night was no exception as they played host to Montreal Impact in what proved to be both a very exciting and gut-wrenching match. As has happened more often than not in 2013, the […]
