Why do the powers that be hate the Dallas midfield? How many Ouija boards are in the FCD locker room? Is half the team practicing Santeria? Do we really need to break out the horse placenta to speed up Villar and Ferreira’s recovery? Let’s hope not, but Dallas is in desperate need of a full, […]

New York fans refer to this matchup as the “1% derby” and even though the two teams are on opposite sides of the country, NY and LA is a rivalry. It’s MLS’s two big name clubs internationally, boasting some of the biggest names in worldwide soccer and highest paid players in the league. That all […]

The Montreal Impact beat the Portland Timbers last weekend to stay undefeated at home (2-0-1).

IMFC will take on Sporting KC this weekend, who are currently leading the Eastern Conference standings. Sporting have scored 12 goals, only allowed three and have seven wins in their first […]

Chivas USA return to the Home Depot Center on Friday evening to face the Chicago Fire looking to earn their first win over the Eastern Conference side since 2008. More importantly, however, The Goats will be aiming to break a poor run of form that has seen them fail to score in all of their […]

Seattle took to the CenturyLink Field pitch Wednesday night against a much-changed LA Galaxy line up, looking for a first win against their local rivals on home soil, and the Sounders didn’t disappoint with a dominating performance. The Sounders face the Philadelphia Union at home on Saturday, but they had to take care of LA […]

Thank goodness I didn’t take part in a drinking game for this match. Eight goals were scored in total, but DC United was on the losing side of a 5-3 result against the San Jose Earthquakes. Assuming Twitter is correct, the five goals allowed have been the most allowed by United since 2008. Chris Wondolowski […]

Chicago travels to the City of Angels this week to face Chivas USA in their only trip to LA during the regular season. The Fire are still stinging from last weekend’s loss to Seattle Sounders, and will be without sophmore central defender Jalil Anibaba and head coach Frank Klopas, both suspended as a result of […]

It’s been a crazy week for me and an exciting week for DC United and its fans. While I’ve been busy studying and taking finals (and now moving out), United has done work of their own. Finally, for the first time since 2009, fans can say we’ve won two matches in a row. It was […]

Bittersweet shutout New York limped into last Saturday’s match against the New England Revolution off a 4-1 trouncing against rivals DC. The Revs came into the game off two weeks rest and had Shalrie Joseph and Benny Feilhaber returning to the squad. New York’s backline had less than 13 MLS starts between them, in front […]

I’d like to preface this by saying I generally try to keep my football and my feminism separate. Even just this past weekend I had some conversations with members of my supporters group (Pid Army!) and other people close to me trying to hash out where organizations like Women United FC fit into both supporter […]

This will make former PR Islander GK Bill Gaudette the […]

I’m sure you’ve heard by now, but the Rapids won this week. They didn’t just win; they shut out Chivas USA 4-0. It was an amazing win for the ‘Pids, but it wasn’t as easy as the score might suggest. Last week in my very brief thoughts going into this match, I said there were […]

It seems more and more apparent that fans (and myself) should stop announcing LA to be back in form this season, at least in the near future. The LA XI that played this weekend was definitely the Mr. Hyde side, as they limped to a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas on Saturday. The obvious talking-point […]

The NBC Sports broadcast was New York-centric and the significant events that tell the story of the result are perhaps all New York’s, too. From camera angles to the angles of the commentators’ conversation the broadcast was focused on the New York Red Bulls and New England was assigned the role of featured extra. The […]
