So, Happy 2012! Since the end of last […]

It’s not a surprise that the two best teams in MLS this season are meeting again in the playoffs. It is, however, a surprise as to where in the playoffs they’re meeting. Some might say that this is for all purposes that this game is the MLS Cup final. That would simply sweep aside Sporting […]

The San Jose Earthquakes moved to Houston not knowing where they would play and not knowing how they would be received. Now more than five years later they will play their final game at Robertson Stadium on the campus of the University of Houston in front of a crowd and a city that has embraced […]

After 34 regular-season MLS games (and a Supporters Shield to boot), the Galaxy finally start the season on the road against a New York Red Bulls side that seemed destined to hoist MLS Cup at the beginning of the season. New York underachieved during the season to say the least, leaving their playoff chances in […]

Real Salt Lake drubbed Seattle Sounders FC 3–0 Saturday night, and the easy line is that Jason Kreis’ team dominated a talented foe simply because he was finally able to field his first-choice lineup. For the first time since Javi Morales fell under Mondaini’s tackle in May, Kreis was able to stick Kyle Beckerman and […]
