The lower east side of Manhattan on Wednesday night played host to an entertaining charity event on Wednesday night. Sarah D. Roosevelt Park, which usually host to NYC’s varying adult soccer leagues, welcomed stars from all walks of life to its field. Two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash hosted his 5th Annual Showdown in Chinatown to benefit […]

A Friday Night Lights football match-up is an event, at least when it’s real football. There is no rivalry between Kansas City and Chicago, but every time these two meet you are guaranteed an excellent match. Form-wise, the advantage is in Chicago’s favor. Sporting Kansas City have drawn and lost their last two league games, […]

To bolster its financial capacities (and perhaps heal its ailing squad) Doug Quinn and FC Dallas have signed a fortuitous shirt deal with Frisco-based AdvoCare. For those who have no clue who AdvoCare is, it is a wellness and health company that hawks goods related to weight loss, muscle gain, etc. It’s a company partnered […]

It was a marquee matchup that lived up to its billing. Eastern conference leaders DC United descended upon Red Bull Arena on Sunday with 500 of its loudest supporters hoping to remain in sole possession of the top spot. The Red Bulls and a sold out crowd would have something to say about it, however. […]

Portland Timbers came away with a gargantuan win this afternoon at home against longtime I-5 rivals, Seattle Sounders. The sellout crowd of 20,438 experienced a real show this afternoon whether it was 2 red cards in a last minute scrum, Seattle’s neon “cyan” kits, or the proudly loud Timbers’ Army. As everyone expected, the match […]

Seattle has been struggling recently for form after having a successful start to the season, which resulted in an unbeaten run of 6 games. But since a home defeat to Real Salt Lake on May 12th, Seattle has been on a slippery downward slope. Out of a possible 21 points the Sounders have only managed […]

Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve had to write a defeat post, but it happens. Chris Pontius scores one of the fastest goals I’ve ever seen, and then it was all downhill from there as the New York Red Bulls scored three in a row to win 3-2. In front of a record attendance of […]

The fans in Toronto shared their emotions at the final whistle. A chorus of boos is a great way for a visiting team to leave the field after gutting out a result on the road. Though only their second tie of the season, this game provided glimpses of TFC’s potential and continuing habits of falling […]

After the Whitecaps had their most successful stretch in their MLS history, they fell back to Earth as they were routed 3-0 by the defending MLS champion LA Galaxy. All the goals came in the first half with Mike Magee opening the scoring off a set piece, then Robbie Keane scoring in open play and […]

Chivas USA travelled to Texas on Saturday night and played their third game in just over a week against the struggling FC Dallas. With tired legs on a hot Texas night, The Goats ground out a goalless tie with the home side in a game that will be easily forgotten. With both teams seemingly struggling […]

Last night, the Union embodied everything that they could be in 90 minutes. They played the best they could possibly play with the personnel they have. They executed brilliant counter attacks and thwarted a potent Sporting KC attack that has names like Bunbury, Kamara, and Sapong. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to have been there […]

There is no one answer to explain what has gone on in Toronto this season- two coaches, one win and a whole lot of disappointment; that’s no way to treat one of the league’s best fan bases. Saturday’s game against New England was like watching the same movie over and over again. Albeit a bad […]

Major League Soccer has many “rivalries” between its different teams but none can match the intensity on and off the field between DC United (9-4-3) and New York Red Bulls (8-4-3). Heading into Sunday’s tilt, the Red Bulls look to thank their rivals for the beating they gave them back in April. After the 4-1 […]
