What a turnaround! Just a week after losing to Seattle Sounders 4-0, LA Galaxy played Chivas USA and won by that same scoreline. Few people were expecting the game end that way. Many were expecting the scoreline to be much closer, including myself. This was the first game of the season that Todd Dunivant, Sean […]

The San Jose Earthquakes reminded MLS that ‘Goonies never say die’ this past Saturday, beating visiting Seattle Sounders with a last minute 2-1 victory in front of a crowd of 10,744. The Earthquakes (14-5-5) entered the match rested from a bye week and still first in the league, a position they’ve held for the last […]

More frustration in finishing, an opponent capitalizing spectacularly on one opportunity, and our New England Revolution suffered yet another shut-out defeat. Sanna Nyassi made a great play for Montreal and that goal was enough to determine the game. The story here has to include that goal, it was a great play, though the futility of […]

While the home record may look good right now, away matches are still a rough patch for D.C. United. Saturday night was no exception for the Black and Red at LiveStrong Sporting Park. Sporting Kansas City came away with a rather one-sided 2-1 win to put themselves into first place, while United dropped more away […]

During this regular season home and home, the New York Red Bulls looked two different teams when taking on the Houston Dynamo. Leading into the home game for New York, Houston was arguably the best team in MLS and the stats backed it up. No goals allowed in the run of play since the end […]

As if a game between Chivas USA and LA Galaxy wasn’t exciting enough, and then somehow it turns out to be another one of those season defining games for the Rojiblancos. This Sunday night marks the return of the Super Clasico for the third time this season, and what could also be the most decisive […]

This Sunday will be the third and final time Los Angeles Galaxy and Chivas USA will meet in regular season. The first time they met, Chivas won 1-0 thanks to a penalty they were awarded after a David Lopes Junior handball. The second time, LA won 3-1, the only Chivas goal that was scored came […]

The title sums up this sour moment in the 2012 Revs season. Despite increasing our attacking options and developing a style with some pretty footwork our New England Revolution, once again, are far outside the playoff conversation as the end of the season hurtles towards us. The Montreal Impact, in their first season in the […]

Seattle head down the road to Santa Clara to face San Jose after the disappointment of losing in the U.S. Open Cup final in midweek at Sporting Kansas City. The Sounders visit the Earthquakes in the second game of the Heritage Cup, which they are trailing 1-0 after losing way back in week 3. But can […]

The Vancouver Whitecaps return to action after getting a much deserved week off as they face the Real Salt Lake for the second time in as many matches. The Caps drew the game at one with a goal by Mattocks after a first half penalty by Saborio but were unable to hold on to the […]

Oscar Pareja’s Colorado Rapids will visit Dallas for the second time in 2012 Saturday night. The former FCD assistant’s side recently put a stop to a six match losing streak. To their own credit, they at least ended the slump with an abrupt win against rivals Salt Lake last week. Regardless, the Rapids’ away record […]

Although the Rocky Mountain Cup was already lost when the Rapids hosted Real Salt Lake last weekend, the Pids were in it for glory. At kickoff, the Pid Army dropped a 6300 square foot tifo and the terraces were filled with banners and flags honoring their club, winless in six games, and at the final […]

Tonight boasts yet another critical match in the Eastern Conference between two of its top teams, vying for not only top spot in the east but the Supporter’s Shield as well. The New York Red Bulls look to reclaim some of their form when they return home to face the Houston Dynamo. It was only […]

This is a match that LA Galaxy fans will want to forget. After winning 1-0 away at Dallas, while missing two DPs, Captain Landon Donovan and David Beckham, it looked like this match would be much closer than the last time these two teams played, when Seattle won 2-0. When I first saw the starting […]
