Dallas began with a healthy Ricardo Villar filling in for David Ferreira as third central midfielder (and fifth total). Against many predictions Hernan Pertuz started in place of George John for FC Dallas. For New York, a young Juan Agudelo started in place of in-form (at least according to the preseason) striker Kenny Cooper. From […]

A new era of Montreal Impact soccer began Saturday evening in Vancouver against the Whitecaps. In front of 21,000 at BC Place, the Impact fell 2-0. Goal scorers for the home side were Sébastien Le Toux (in the 4th minute) and Camilo (in the 54th minute). The second goal scored had a beautiful build-up and […]

Even after a major roster overhaul this offseason there were still questions about the strengths of the Revolution at forward and left back. There were never any questions about the Earthquakes forwards. So, add in an injury surprise from Friday’s practice and an unexpected glaring error and a Wondolowski goal sounds about right. Darrius Barnes […]

DC United began their season with a frustrating 1-0 loss to Sporting KC at RFK Stadium. CJ Sapong, the reigning MLS Rookie of the Year, began his sophomore year with the late stoppage time goal to give the visitors their first three points of the year. It took awhile for both clubs to get […]

The Houston Dynamo open the 2012 season in the same location their 2011 season ended. In November the Dynamo lost the MLS Cup Final at the Home Depot Center 1-0 to the LA Galaxy. Today, nearly 4 months later, they are back at the HDC to open their season against the Galaxy’s neighbors Chivas USA. Today’s […]

The Goats start the new campaign this Sunday against last year’s MLS Cup Finalists Houston Dynamo in what will be […]

Vengeance could be very sweet for Dallas. New York didn’t have to perform brilliantly to beat a fatigued and faltering Hoops squad in the first round of the 2011 playoffs to move on (2-0 in Frisco). However, the Hoops come up against a New York side in flux at the moment. Goalscorer Luke Rodgers is […]

Is it just me, or was this off-season the longest wait out of any of the previous MLS off-seasons? The New York Red Bulls travel down to Frisco, Texas to take on FC Dallas in a rematch of that 2011 wild card matchup. New York went down to FC Dallas stadium and beat FCD, not […]

The Rapids head into their First Kick match against Columbus with some pretty decent stats on their side; in 17 overall meetings at Colorado, Columbus have taken away just three wins. The teams have met in the playoffs twice in as many years with the Rapids advancing both times, but as any soccer fan knows, […]

With every new season comes new hopes, the hope of a championship, the hope to be competitive, or the hope to stay healthy through a whole season. These hopes are in the fans and the players. With that, the hardest working team in America, the Columbus Crew, open this season’s hopes in Colorado. Last year […]

On the eve of the 2012 MLS season, I thought it fitting to give my predictions for how each conference and the MLS Cup will shake out. Here’s my highly unqualified, likely biased, stab-in-the-dark breakdown of the 2012 season. Can Chicago’s 2011 momentum continue into 2012? Eastern Conference Sporting KC- Everything in me hates to […]

Let’s get the 2012 MLS season going already. 2011 was painfully disappointing for New England Revolution fans. Changes from the starters, bench, coaching staff, and front office roles were an appropriate reaction to a visit to football rock bottom. Our first game is on the road in San Jose. They’re 2011 was better than my Revs’, […]

IT’S FINALLY HERE! I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited to see the MLS season begin. A lot of changes have happened, not only with DC United, but with the entire league. This season looks to be fun and challenging. Fortunately, if you’re a fan of the Black and Red, your team looks to […]

An incredible 47, 658 were in attendance to see Toronto’s 2-2 draw with the LA Galaxy on Wednesday night. It was more than enough to set a franchise attendance record for Toronto FC, more than doubling the previous high. This was truly a sight to see. As the TFC faithful poured into the Rogers Center, […]

In Seattle’s first game of the season, they took on a strong Santos Laguna side that are already in full flow with their season, on the newly laid pitch at CenturyLink field. This was a tough test for the Sounders, heading out of pre season unbeaten and heading into the first leg of the quarterfinal against […]
