Our Revs fell short again. Post-game quotes mention a missing or lack of “sharpness” three times. Our recent streak of almost-more-than-potential, not losing for 5 games in a row ended Saturday against Toronto. This busy week of Saturday, Wednesday, and Saturday games has brought us two losses as we head into the third game. The consecutive […]

Okay, okay, Columbus you got me. Funny joke, you are playing this badly to get me to laugh right? I get it, you are messing with me, right? Somehow I don’t think you are joking, however the way you are playing is a joke. I remember the days of when teams would come to Columbus […]

Sunday evening as the Dynamo prepared for 3 games in 7 days, I discussed with others about this stretch and was certain that 5 points would be a great result for the week. After a second straight Wednesday night the Dynamo now have 6 points and look to finish off the perfect 9 point week […]

Somehow what was an understandable 2-0 loss on the road to league-leading San Jose turned into a stomach-churning dropped point for FC Dallas late Wednesday night. Hyndman’s side could’ve found solace in a come from behind draw. Any team that is as strapped for results as FCD is would certainly understand (I’m looking at you, […]

Ahead of tonight’s clash with San Jose, the second in as many weeks, both sides find themselves meeting after road victories against Western Conference rivals. San Jose comes off a dominant, crushing 5-0 defeat of conference rivals Salt Lake. Chris Wondolowski bagged a brace in the process and the Quakes looked more in their league-leading […]

The Whitecaps return home after five games on the road with a difficult task in front of them as they face the defending champs LA Galaxy. It was five games ago when the Caps were completely dismantled in the first half for three goals in what the Galaxy said was their best 45 of the […]

New York (9-5-5, 5-0-3 home) and Chicago (9-6-4, 3-4-2 road) face off in a pivotal match in the eastern conference tomorrow afternoon but there is more focus being placed on the weather than on the match. At the time of kickoff, 1pm eastern, temperatures will be reaching a high of 97 degrees. Conditions this past […]

In a West meets East 3rd place clash, the Seattle Sounders escaped the sweltering heat of Red Bull Arena with a 2-2 draw. Although conditions on the field were not ideal, the game started with a back and forth affair between the two sides. New York lined up in an experimental 4-3-3 lineup, with captain Thierry […]

The Whitecaps return home from a week-long trip a different team and the jury is still out whether the changes have improved the club on the pitch. It is clear that Rennie will not stand pat even with the Whitecaps sitting in a playoff spot and already surpassing last season’s point totals. The changes seemed […]

In the first of three home games for the Houston Dynamo in the next seven days, things didn’t get off to a great start for the men in orange. DC United controlled possession in the opening 15 minutes and looked to be getting the better of the Dynamo. That all changed when DC goalkeeper Bill […]

Sometimes, I sit back and think “man, it’s great to be a Rapids fan.” Now is not one of those times. I have, admittedly, put off writing an update in hopes that my optimistic forecast coming off the Rapids’ 3-0 win in Portland might actually come to fruition. Time will tell, I said, whether the Rapids […]

Ugh. That wasn’t a great way to end a home stand. New England could not score and Toronto’s first half goal proved the difference. Maybe we were rattled by the injury to Stephen McCarthy less than five minutes into the game. Rattled or not, we failed to score and conceded a loss at home to […]

The New York Red Bulls made two massive moves ahead of their three games in seven days homestand that starts with Sunday’s clash with the Seattle Sounders. Early Friday, the Red Bulls sent a 2014 draft pick to the LA Galaxy for keeper Bill Gaudette. Gaudette, lately the third stringer for LA after Josh Saunders […]

There comes a point in every season that will be looked back at as a turning point, good or bad. This week could be that point for the Dynamo. Starting tonight, the Dynamo will play 3 home games in the next 7 days. In a very close Eastern Conference this week could play a huge […]

The Whitecaps were unable to get a result in their final match of a five game road trip as they dropped a 1-0 decision to the ten men Chicago Fire. The goal by the Fire was scored early in the match when Pavel Pardo converted a perfectly placed free kick past Joe Cannon. For the […]
