Our New England Revolution has gone seven games with out a win. Since we opened the month of July with a 2-0 win over NYRB we have suffered a series of one goal losses briefly interrupted by the only recent highlight, a tellingly barren highlight, of a 0-0 draw in Kansas City. Last weekend our […]

After a somewhat disappointing 1-1 draw with Columbus Crew last week, Los Angeles Galaxy will be playing in their first match of CONCACAF Champions League, the group stage. Last season, they started off strong. They even made it to the quarterfinals of CCL. However, as I’ve mentioned in previous articles, LA Galaxy got off to […]

Gotta love MLS officials. They always have a way to make things interesting week in and week out. Although despite all the “fun” on Sunday night, I won’t go into a tirade against officiating in MLS. I’ll leave that to almost everyone else. In the end, all that matters is the result which was a […]

The New York Red Bulls came into Sunday evening’s matchup with the Timbers needing an easy game. Not that the Timbers are a push over, but New York playing at home, needed to execute their game plan and not let Portland get set in theirs. New York plays only conference games until the end of […]

The New York Red Bulls look to gain vital ground in the Supporter’s Shield race as they host the Portland Timbers at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls (12-7-5, 8-0-3 at home) look to impose their home form on the Timbers (5-12-6, 0-8-3 on the road) who are the worst road team in MLS this […]

Chivas USA travelled to Colorado to face the Rapids on Saturday night looking to bounce back from that horrendous Super Clasico defeat to the LA Galaxy…and they did, but just not in the way they would have hoped. With the season starting to wind down and teams making their claim for the playoffs, the Goats […]

You’re hearing this correctly. For the first time in 2012 FCD can claim a win streak: two Western Conference foes faced, two downed. Wednesday’s victory in the Great White North against Vancouver was ideal. A Dallas side that was Brek Shea-less (and de Guzman-less for that matter) took it to the once high-flying Whitecaps. It […]

When the Rapids headed to Dallas last week, I said I felt good about it. I felt so good about it, in fact, that I agreed to a friendly wager with an FCD fan, because I said the game was winnable; winnable or not, it wasn’t to be for the ‘Pids. The Rapids opened their […]

After a disappointing game against FC Dallas at home the Vancouver Whitecaps return to the road as they travel down the I5 to face the Seattle Sounders for Cascadia bragging rights. The match has importance on two fronts for the two clubs as they are currently battling for third spot in the Western Conference with […]

There’s something inherently infuriating about MLS’s Power Rankings. The entirely arbitrary ‘rankings,’ which seem to be designed to appeal to the inchoate and quixotic logic used by college football fanatics, come out weekly and only serve to provide a premise to berate the league. This last week’s rankings put San Jose, Kansas City, Houston, New […]

Our New England Revolution travel to Chicago this weekend. The Fire have gone from a team that experienced a similar series of disappointments last season, a late season surge, and arrive this year in the playoffs with a chance to improve their position. Our Revs are dangerously close to finishing this season having made many […]

The Vancouver Whitecaps put in a poor performance and dropped a 2-0 decision to FC Dallas in front of 19,000 plus fans in BC Place. After a scoreless first half the visitors scored twice with Fabian Castillo scoring first followed up by Jonathon Top which were both assisted by David Ferreira. The Whitecaps started the […]

The stage was set for Chivas USA on Sunday night as it marked one of the most important, and perhaps season defining, Super Clasicos in years. With the Shalrie Joseph trade, and debut, being billed as a statement of intent for The Goats’ push for the playoffs, and their chance to take the Super Clasico […]

It’s fair to say that FCD was hard done by the result in Vancouver towards the beginning of the 2012 campaign. A brilliant Camillo strike within the first 15 minutes shell-shocked Dallas – a team that was bereft of confidence and struggling to find form after starting the season so well, and then struggling so […]

Between injuries, suspensions and international call-ups, Mariner will have few options to choose from in tonight’s clash with Portland. Dicoy Williams, Doneil Henry, Terry Dunfield and Ryan Johnson are all answering the bell for their national teams, while Logan Emory (suspension) and Jeremy Hall (ankle) are also unavailable for the match. Newcomer Darren O’Dea is […]
