The 2012 season for Seattle was one of high expectations, but no result. The Sounders did manage to win their first ever playoff series, but ultimately crashed out due to lady luck gazing upon the opposition. Seattle came so very close to hardware last season, but managed to miss out on each and every occasion. […]

Another coaching change, a roster overhaul and more empty promises. On first glance it looks like your average offseason for Toronto FC. Upon further review, however, this is very different. Seven years of trial and error may have finally been enough for Toronto FC. This offseason, with yet another coaching vacancy to fill, the club […]

Kansas City begins their 3rd season as the rebranded Sporting Kansas City and they came out with a bang this offseason. New kits, new kit sponsor, new players (new DP), new stadium name, players going to England, it was sort of like a mini rebranding. The only thing that didn’t change was the team name. With […]

2012 was not a very good year for the Rapids. The optimism of a new coach bringing in a new system quickly faded into what may have been the longest footy summer of my life; it’s hard to watch the club you love fail to perform to what you think their potential is. Some fans […]

After a long, playoff-less 2012 season, FC Dallas will attempt to turn around their end-of-season playoff spurning into a stronger 2013 run, with a deeper, but fluctuating squad. It may be (at least on paper) the strongest team fielded yet in Frisco. 2012 Season Stats: Record (9-13-12; 6th in Western Conference) Goals Scored: 42 Goals […]

Pick any New York Red Bulls fan out of a crowd and ask them how this offseason went. I can guarantee their response would be something along the lines of “Same as every year, drama filled and roster turnover abound”. However, if you let them finish talking, you will see a smile crack and they […]

The New England Revolution ended their preseason on a high note when they defeated the New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Saturday, February 23. With the win, the Revs improved their record to 2-3-1 and will now have their sights on the 2013 regular season. Despite practicing since January 17, there are still many questions […]

With a new coach, new players, new tactics, and most importantly a new attitude the difference between the Union’s 2012 team and current squad will be obvious. The 2013 team seen this preseason is not at all the team that we saw last year on the pitch. The Union got rid of many players from […]

After consecutive Eastern Conference championships the Dynamo have failed to get over the final hurdle and capture MLS Cup. After opening BBVA Compass Stadium last season and finishing the season unbeaten at home, things are looking up on all fronts in Houston. Can 2013 be the year they put it all together and bring the […]

Trades are fun. I love trades. I was essentially frozen out of fantasy baseball in college because I was too much of a wheeler and dealer—and not in a savvy way, in a sloppy QPR kind of way—annoying everyone via email. Point is, I like to see movement, to see teams actively improving themselves. In […]

The Montreal Impact’s second season will show fans different tactics and shape for their club. We’ve seen all the changes in Toronto over the years and Vancouver has seen their fair share of changes in their three years in MLS. But one would have thought Montreal would be different. As it happened they didn’t stray […]
