“It was pretty hot out there.” These were the first words out of Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear’s mouth in his postgame press conference. On a very hot day at BBVA Compass Stadium the Dynamo were able to stay hot at home, and unbeaten, with a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy. After losing last […]

It’s a universal truth that all good things must come to an end. This was the case with the Red Bulls as they saw their five game winning streak snapped in a 1-1 draw with Chivas USA on Wednesday. Former Red Bull great Juan Pablo Angel returned to face the club where he had four […]

On a difficult run of games, Chivas USA have moved up to sixth in the West, however, they are still only three points from the bottom placed LA […]

After failing in the in their attempt to capture the Voyageurs Cup against TFC, the Whitecaps will turn around and travel to Portland to face their second Cascadian rival in as many weeks. Last week the Caps were swept by the Timbers in their two meetings as they lost 2-1 on the road and 1-0 […]

This Memorial Day weekend the New England Revolution will face two distinct challenges. I hope that our Revs and Coach Heaps attacking style can earn results. Saturday we visit a DC United team that has shown they are a quality side who can earn results. Tuesday we begin our participation in the 2012 Lamar Hunt […]

On Saturday night, DC United will have a chance to do something they haven’t done since 2009: Be first place in the Eastern Conference. Even if it’s just for a few minutes or hours, the achievement will speak volumes. The opponent standing in their way is the familiar New England Revolution. Earlier this season, United […]

Schellas Hyndman and company head into Salt Lake this Saturday after dropping their 15th (yes, 15th) point from a winning position. Chicago handed Dallas their most recent loss in what seemed like a very winnable game for FCD. Dallas’ 2012 woes can be boiled down to two main problems: injuries and suspensions. No team in MLS […]

Every contest between Chicago Fire and Columbus Crew is an event. Maybe not for the rest of MLS, but it certainly is a rager for Crew and Fire supporters. For this first match up of three in the 2012 season, Chicago will travel to Columbus. Arriving ahead of the Fire will be over 600 of […]

Despite a horrid start to the MLS season, it is safe to say TFC coach Aron Winter’s job is safe…for now. The “worst team in the world,” according to TFC striker Danny Koevermans, will try to put an end to an MLS record nine game losing streak Saturday when they get set to host the Philadelphia […]

At first glance, Saturday’s matchup between the Philadelphia Union (2-6-2) and Toronto FC (0-9-0) seems to be nothing more than a pair of cellar dweller teams scrapping for any points they can get. Philadelphia would love points away from home right now, and Toronto is just hoping to get anything from this match, despite it […]

After four matches in eleven days the Dynamo got a much needed week off and now return home to BBVA Compass Stadium to host the Los Angeles Galaxy in a rematch of last season’s MLS Cup Final. This match will be the Dynamo’s first of three in six days with an Open Cup match and […]

After the 3rd round of the US Open Cup, several teams made deals to give up their home games in exchange for cash considerations. Probably the biggest of these deals involved NASL side Atlanta Silverbacks and 3-time reigning USOC champions Seattle Sounders. In the aftermath of the deal, I decided to talk to Matt Stigall […]

The LA Galaxy somehow managed to manage their best showing all year and, in what was a microcosm of the season thus far, have nothing to show for it. LA went up early in what was their best half of football this year thanks to Hector Jimenez’s early strike in the 3rd minute. The Galaxy […]

Unlike most Chicago Fire supporters, I don’t care about the Brimstone Cup. I can say that now because FC Dallas has lost the cup for the first time since 2001, and Chicago has picked up its first win over Dallas in Toyota Park. Given the new unbalanced schedule this year in MLS, this will be […]
