The Dynamo’s winless streak reached 4 games after a tough 3-2 loss to DC United Saturday night at RFK Stadium. In form forward Will Bruin scored twice but defensive lapses cost Houston in the end. DC opened the scoring in the 11th minute after a goalkeeping error by Tally Hall. A long ball from […]

It was another match that featured the breaking of records, as The Goats lost their ‘Road Warrior’ status, and the Rapids ended their three game losing streak. The final score-line […]

On what turned out to be a cool, but otherwise nearly perfect evening at Toyota Park, Chicago Fire welcomed Seattle Sounders to town as they celebrated their annual “Fire Goes Green” initiative. While it may have been coincidence that the Fire’s eco-friendly event coincided with bringing one of the only green teams in the league […]

LA returns home this week to face off against a FC Dallas side that possibly could be missing 5 starters due to injury. While LA should be welcoming Leonardo back from the leg injury that claimed his 2011 season, Dallas will come into Home Depot Center with David Ferreira (foot), Ricardo Villar (foot), Kevin Hartman […]

“You can call it an emergency,” Hyndman said. “I think when you go without four starters; it’s becoming a bit of an emergency.” Let’s try five starters. The FCD injured reserve list resembles a team returning from the trenches more than it does a team returning from the soccer field. David Ferreira, Ricardo Villar, Carlos Rodriguez, […]

There really wasn’t much to be said following the loss to rival DC United this past week. A 4-1 loss, almost identical in fashion to the way New York beat up DC at RFK last season, has hopefully brought NY back down to reality. New England now comes into Red Bull Arena off two weeks […]

Not to get too Dickensian and poetic about Wednesday night, but the game was really a tale of two halves. Technically, Dallas should have taken more than a one goal lead in the first half. Technically, Salt Lake should have been on their back foot after the pummeling they took during the first 45 minutes. […]

Real Salt Lake’s Lone Star Curse persists, as they remain winless in 21 matches in Texas (against FC Dallas and the Houston Dynamo), but if the current trend continues, that dubious achievement may fall in the near future. In last night’s 1–1 draw and last season’s 0–0 draw, RSL claimed their first two points in […]

An unbeaten record (8-0-1 in the league) against a quality side like RSL does fit all the characteristics of a spell well set upon the Utah-based side. Dallas, still, will have its work cut out after a difficult road loss on Saturday at the hands of the Whitecaps. “It’s disappointing losing on the road, but […]
