Thanks to DC United being off this week and the draw between the Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City, the New York Red Bulls could take a one point lead in the East and be level with games played between the top teams. There are a few obstacles New York must navigate in order to take […]

Our New England Revolution host the New York Red Bulls this weekend. NYRB are run by Europeans and their two highest profile players are internationals from France and Mexico. The Revs are run by local guys who put in time at the club and arguably we don’t have any high profile players, certainly not the […]

Admit it – you didn’t pin San Jose to do anything significant this year, either. The Quakes have surprised many, including this writer, with their meteoric rise to the pinnacle of the Western Conference in the first half of the 2012 season. No one probably predicted the dramatic fall of Dallas, given the auspicious beginning […]

Things have been a bit stop-start for Chivas USA recently. After a good run of results was interrupted by a lengthy international break, The Goats returned to action last month with a respectable four points from a possible nine. However, any sort of momentum was halted again when they took a two week break from […]

It has been nearly a month since the last instalment of “Get to know your TFC players.” So far Ryan Johnson, Ashtone Morgan, Milos Kocic and Matt Stinson have all been featured in this segment. Up next: Luis Silva. In light of the most recent TFC scandal (the Houston bar incident), I sat down […]

Frisco may as well be in France’s Alsace-Lorraine, or the Somme for that matter (circa 1916), as Hyndman’s squad have yet to take or give any ground at home in two weeks. Wednesday night’s latest impasse wasn’t supposed to go as such; it was heralded as an auspicious, pivotal moment to reverse FCD’s fortunes in […]

Coming into Tuesday night’s game against the Chicago Fire, the Dynamo defense has had its issues. The defense showed up big against the Fire, recording its first shutout since May 15th against Portland. The offense on the other hand still has many question marks surrounding it. After scoring twice on Saturday against Philadelphia, the Dynamo […]

Anyone following the Rapids knows that the matches leading up to last Saturday’s meet up with Portland had not gone well. After expecting to come back from the (way too long) break rested and ready to take on Vancouver, and despite a solid effort in the first half, the Rapids ultimately fell 0-1 to a […]

Chicago is one of the most in-form team in MLS right now having won their last three matches. Each win has been a unique performance showing the mental toughness of the squad. Friday’s 1-0 win over Sporting Kansas City demonstrated that Chicago could put on a bunkering, defensive display on the road. Given the fact […]

After their defeat to local rivals Portland, Seattle took a trip east to face the New England Revolution with the aim of breaking their seven game winless run. Seconds from the end the Seattle faithful may have thought that they had overcome this slump, but only to see the ball in the back of the […]

New England, our Revs seem to have a new set of challenges. Seattle played a somewhat defensive game looking to jump on any opportunity, which they did. Also a fairly physical match, the Revs couldn’t create much space near goal. Jay Heaps called it “an emotional game.” The Revolution can score goals, it’s the timing […]

You have to go back to May 5th to find the last time Toronto lost a game at BMO Field. TFC held the Red Bulls to just one shot on goal, extending their unbeaten streak to four games with a 1-1 draw on Saturday. After a 0-9 start, the Reds have now managed points from […]

After a 4-2 loss in Montreal the Houston Dynamo return to the friendly confines to host Eastern Conference rivals Philadelphia Union. The Dynamo and Union last squared off in last season’s MLS Cup playoffs with the Orange winning both legs of their conference semifinal tie. Philadelphia has struggled to find form this season but have […]

The summer is heating up and here come the Revs. If you are so inclined, there are potential future Revs playing in the USSF Developmental Academy playoffs in Texas. The Revs were one of seven MLS clubs to qualify both U-18 and U-16 teams to this tournament. Also, Euro 2012 is nearing it’s completion, the […]

The New York Red Bulls roll into Toronto Saturday night on the heels of an emotional home victory over rivals DC United. Toronto, the cellar dwellers of MLS currently on a record of 2-10-2 (1-5-1 at home), won midweek against the Montreal Impact. TFC is 1-0-2 since Paul Mariner took over the club and are […]
