Frings is back, Cann is back and the time for excuses is over. While it is still just April, Saturday’s game is as big as it gets at this point in the season. With five losses in five games, Winter’s club will hope to pick up their first points of the season when the Chicago […]

The Crew seem to be playing the same old song and dance. The problems from last year are manifesting this year. Eddie Gavin said it best, “I just don’t think we have been dynamic enough.” Well said good sir. The midfield is disjointed. I sit here trying to think of better words but that keeps […]

Chicago fans had plenty to talk about this week after a disappointing rain soaked and game shortened draw at home last Sunday against Houston. On Tuesday news broke like a whirlwind that Chicago had brought back another fan favorite, Chris Rolfe, to help with Chicago’s early season scoring woes. Rolfe, who played for the Fire […]

The game-tape from the Montreal Impact at D.C. United game won’t be used for any instructional purposes, I can assure you of that. The final line was Impact 1 United 1. The first half was a quite “blah,” boring 45 minutes of soccer. There was a lot of back and forth possession and a bunch of offsides […]

Whatever type of cliché nickname from the American sports world applies fully to the boys from Dallas at this moment (“Cardiac Kids” just popped into your head, right?). Those few fans with shaky hearts are probably the only ones suffering. FCD is starting to develop a habit of switching it on late in the game. […]

So last time around you got to know Toronto’s Jamaican born forward, Ryan Johnson. Stepping into the spotlight this week is goalkeeper Milos Kocic. Kocic challenged for a starting job this offseason and began splitting time with fellow keeper Stefan Frei at the beginning of the season. Frei suffered an injury early in 2012 […]

DC United will play the Montreal Impact in MLS play for the first time ever tonight when the Impact visit RFK Stadium. DC United, coming off their win against New England on Saturday, will be looking at another chance to earn back-to-back wins for the first time since 2009 (it pains me every time I […]

After playing the first 428 minutes of the season without allowing a goal, setting the MLS record, the Whitecaps backline imploded allowing three goals in ten minutes. Very few on the club expected the streak to continue through another 90 minutes but it was disappointing that mental errors were the cause, especially on two of […]

Last Saturday’s 2-1defeat to DC United was disappointing. New England should passionately defend our home field. Compared to our young season’s best performance in Los Angeles, the Revs slipped in quality, sure. We weren’t our best, but we didn’t fall off a cliff, either. The Revolution are playing to win and, compared to last season, […]

Against the New York Red Bulls, the San Jose Earthquakes fought with passion, lost two players due to serious injuries and took home one point. San Jose Shined Thiery Henry noted after the match, “San Jose gave us a lesson in football”. He was right. We’ve not seen the Earthquakes play with this amount of […]

In a game that was going to be full of emotions, Seattle made amends to their dip in form as they bounced back to winning ways at CenturyLink Field against Colorado. Emotions were running high as this game saw the return of Brian Mullan, who ended Steve Zakuani’s season early on in the Sounders campaign last […]

The New York Red Bulls vs. San Jose Earthquakes game was hyped up to be an explosive game and fans out at Red Bull Arena got exactly that. Touting the league’s top three goal scorers on the filed at once, and a NY defense not fully in sync, the game was set to be one […]

Mother Nature remained undefeated Sunday night, causing the Chicago Fire and Houston Dynamo to end their match early. The match was halted in the 66th minute and a 1-1 draw was the final result. After suspensions, injuries, and bad weather, a point on the road is a good result for the Dynamo. Bad weather in […]

Another week of the MLS season passed us by and we saw Sporting KC continue their red hot form and further prove their credentials as arguably the best side in MLS. A difficult win at home against Real Salt Lake saw them prolong their perfect start to the season and extend their lead at the […]

Chivas USA continued their impressive away form on Saturday afternoon when they ran out 1-0 winners over the still winless Toronto FC side. The Goats had travelled to Canada with all their points (and goals) this season coming on the road and hoped to make it 3 away victories in a row. It was another […]
