It was a great night of festivities at PPL Park when the MLS All-Stars took on Chelsea FC for the second time in history. The match went well for the All-Stars, who won 3-2 for their first victory since 2008 against West Ham. Two players who had a huge hand in the victory were two […]

These past few weeks for the Chicago Fire have been unpleasant. Not necessarily a roller-coaster, more like a constant sea-sickness. Performance-wise, July has been nothing but a headache. A draw in Houston was a positive but then a decisive loss to Los Angeles in Chicago erased any success, they team then bounced back with a […]

It was the third game in seven days for the Red Bulls and while most played major minutes in both of the sweltering matches leading up to the Philly game, one man was rested: Kenny Cooper. Though Cooper did play the final few minutes of the match against the Fire midweek, it was his first […]

The Earthquakes (13-5-4) went into the game on a winning streak, having beaten second in the league Real Salt Lake and second worst in the West […]

Please let Dallas savor it for a bit. You detractors, you thugs that seek to diminish the quality of this victory probably only see one thing on the score line: that bottom-of-the-league Portland is in it. Despite that small fact, FCD is certainly not far from that basement, but the performance given on Saturday night […]

It has been quite the up and down season thus far for Toronto FC. So let’s get right too it: First Half Awards Best Moment of the Season: Danny Koevermans gives TFC first win Thank God for Danny Koevermans, right? I don’t think the long-suffering Toronto fan base could have handled ten straight losses to […]

Real Salt Lake defeated Rocky Mountain neighbors the Colorado Rapids 2–0 at a sold-out Rio Tinto Stadium Saturday. The rivals’ supporter groups created the Rocky Mountain Cup when RSL joined the league in 2005, to be lifted by the team that wins the head-to-head season series, or, in the event of a tie, stays with […]

The last time these two teams met, in May, Chivas pulled off an unexpected 1-0 win over LA Galaxy. Although, to be fair, LA wasn’t playing that well at the time. In fact, LA had lost 5 of the 6 games they played that month (they tied the other game). So maybe it wasn’t such […]

From the starting line up the signs pointed to a conservative, counter-attacking gameplan for the Revolution. Fatigue, from the recent schedule congestion and the heat, as well as goal keeper saves would prove to be the storylines from this match. New England went into Kansas City’s LiveStrong Park, avoided a red card ejection, and left with […]

The Whitecaps return to their home pitch as try to forget their disappointment against LA and focus on their next opponents, the Conference leading Earthquakes from San Jose. The two clubs have split their first two meetings with San Jose winning at home while the Caps returned the favor by scoring a late winner at […]

Dynamo fans are feeling invincible after their team ran off three straight home wins this week to put their team into discussions among […]

FCD faces several tests in their match tonight, at home, against fellow Western Conference basement dwellers Portland. Brek Shea, Schellas Hyndman, and Jair Benitez all left San Jose on Wednesday with a bitter taste in their mouths. Fortunately for Schellas Hyndman his side face the only team in MLS with a worse road record than […]

LA Galaxy vs Chivas USA. Also known as the “Super Clasico”, it is one of the biggest rivalries in MLS. This will be their second meeting of the season. In their first match, Chivas won 1-0 after a penalty was awarded to them, thanks to a Lopes handball. That was the first time Chivas defeated […]

Alright, last week was a disaster. I think we all can agree on that. So let’s just push the Houston match under the rug, hope Momma Playoffs doesn’t see it, and move on with our lives. This weekend, DC United will be on the road again to take on the Columbus Crew in Ohio. Hard […]
