A bye week can be frustrating when your team is on a winning streak or starting to heat up. When your team is floundering, a bye week is relief; it’s a way to re-group and re-focus. A cynic would say that the Chicago Fire even messed up their bye week. Winger Patrick Nyarko picked up […]

After an extended break for the Black & Red, Ben Olsen's starting XI should come right out of the gates swinging. Although DC lost a real heartbreak against the Columbus […]

“Surprise or no surprise, Chivas USA exists” – Chelís. Prior to the opening game of the season, and even after it, nobody would have predicted the month Chivas USA were about to have.

This stuff happens. At least that’s the message Ryan Nelsen delivered to reporters following Saturday’s 2-2 draw to the LA Galaxy. Jonathan Osorio’s first MLS goal gave Toronto a late 2-1 lead and what looked like a full three points until Jose Villarreal’s acrobatic stoppage time equalizer salvaged a point for the Galaxy. “Late goals happen,” […]

On Saturday, March 30th, the New England Revolution (1-1-1) will play FC Dallas (3-0-1) as they conclude a two-game home stand. The returns of Jerry Bengtson (international duty) and Kalifa Cisse (injury) should help the Revs as they try to erase memories of the scoreless draw seen in the home opener. Since Jay Heaps became […]
