LA, who once again lost to Colorado without its full complement of starters, look east towards DC in what would seem to be a game that should be easily managed. DC is the worst team in the league, on 14 points from 27 games, and have only scored 16 goals this year. That being said, […]

It’s a move that mirrors the league-leading upswing in attendance in Frisco, as well as the boost in local popularity and season ticket holders since 2010. FC Dallas Stadium is no more: Toyota Stadium is in. The Pizza Hut deal (the stadium’s former namesake) fell apart only over a season ago, leaving the park […]

It was an offensive display to remember. Two goals were nominated for MLS Goal of the Week, one of which was from the half line, the other a volley that made one’s hair stand on end.

The Portland Timbers need points badly to hold onto their playoff position. Their 39 is only good enough for 5th place and both Vancouver and Dallas are just three points behind. While 9th place Toronto FC look like a beatable team, Portland has never won against them. The returning Will Johnson and Diego Chara will […]

An era is officially over. Even if you thought that the Crew’s new look had started a couple months ago when Precourt Sports Ventures bought the club from the Hunt family, there can be no doubts now. Robert Warzcyha was sacked on Monday after 18 years, in some sort of capacity, with the club. He […]
