After notching their first win with our first goal of the season the Revs have traveled to Los Angeles and will visit Dallas before returning home again. The confidence New England earned in holding our lead for almost 90 minutes will be tested against a talented Galaxy team. There is little doubt that the Revs will […]

Colorado will look to erase the memory of last week’s […]

New York enjoyed the home cooking in front of the Metro faithful against an undefeated and weakened Colorado Rapids this past Sunday. Montreal comes off a 10-man loss at Columbus, […]

After picking up seven of a possible nine points and sitting on top of the Western Conference early in the 2012 season, the Vancouver Whitecaps make their first trip east to face the Philadelphia Union. The two teams played tight matches and traded 1-0 results last season each winning their match on their home pitch. […]

It has certainly been an eventful start to the 2012 season for Toronto FC. It started with an impressive home and home cup tie win over the LA Galaxy, giving the fans what seemed like a preview of what to expect in the upcoming season. The season pulled a full 180, however, after a 3-1 loss […]

FCD finds itself in a funk at the moment. Not the type of funk gracing your ears as you drunkenly stumble around your cousin’s wedding reception (we’ve all got vices). It’s the type of mental funk that a team enters after giving up leads after 45 minutes for two consecutive games. The boys in red […]

FC Dallas finds itself on somewhat of a skid (let’s face it: the Portland match should’ve been won) after losing 2-1 to Sporting KC at Livestrong Park Sunday evening. If not a skid, then certainly the boys from Frisco left the game with their confidence battered. Goals for FCD were sparse and unpredictable. Dallas’ sole […]

A common theme emerged toward the end of last season for New York. Every game was touted as a “must win” as the season drew on. Only two games into the 2012 season, many analysts were calling game 3 of 34 a must win, not for the Red Bulls, but manager Hans Backe’s job. The […]

Another weekend has passed us by and another weekend of the of young MLS season is in the books. Of the most notable stories were Kei Kamara’s goal in the closing minutes against FC Dallas to preserve Sporting KC’s perfect start to the season.

FC Dallas manager Schellas Hyndman, upon being asked at the postgame presser if the game against Sporting KC got physical or chippy at a couple points. “That’s how you play,” he added. It took quite a while for Sporting to find the cohesive physicality that has put them on top of the single MLS table, […]

DC United and the Vancouver Whitecaps played to a 0-0 draw late Saturday night in front of 19,394 at BC Place. The result was appropriate considering both teams seemed to be on equal ground all night. The lineup that coach Ben Olsen sent out this week was much better in my mind. Hamdi Salihi was back among […]

Losing in Seattle is not embarrassing; they are a very good team with and have a tough environment to play in. Giving up two goals to break your shutout streak is not that embarrassing; a deflected goal and a penalty kick, those things happen. What took place in the first half between midfielder Colin Clark […]

Our New England Revolution returned to Gillette Stadium after two frustrating losses on the road to start this season. We were looking for our first goal and signs of cohesion like our preseason suggested we could achieve. Portland struggled on the road last year but managed to tie us when they visited. Despite offering a […]
