I could’ve titled this “David Ferreira is Back and There is Nothing Else You Need to Know.” Really, I should have. The prospect of having DF10 back in the lineup opens up a world of possibilities for Dallas. The Hoops enter the 2012 season in an attempt to shake off 2011’s late-season blues. With new […]

So many players left without any new arrivals to replace them, RSL would have been understaffed to host a winter clinic. After almost no changes last year, leading […]

I’ve been waiting to write this because I’ve been waiting for things to stop changing in the 5280 (that’s fancy talk for Denver) for long enough that I might be able to write a decent season preview. I’ll give it a shot… Out With The Old… While a good number of people weren’t pleased with […]

The 2011 MLS season did not end the way the New York Red Bulls or its supporters wanted. A 16th consecutive season without a trophy was not how Hans Backe and Erik Soler thought the season would have ended. The 2011 preseason went so well, that a debate in the locker room broke out of which […]
