Over the past weekend, the Los Angeles Galaxy trounced FC Dallas 5-1 with Edson Buddle getting a hat trick in the win. Surprisingly, neither David Beckham nor Landon Donovan played a vital part in the victory - though each did earn an assist in the victory.
The important thing to note here is that the Galaxy [...]
Hi All!
Sorry for the complete lack of posts lately. I had a friend from out of town come in for the weekend, and I had fully intended to have a full weekend recap after he left on Sunday. However, I have succumbed to a rather nasty illness and the idea of sitting up at my [...]
Malcolm Glazer and Manchester United, Tom Hicks and Liverpool, Randy Lerner and Aston Villa, now Stan Kroenke and Arsenal.
It seems inevitable now that Kroenke will take a controlling stake in Arsenal FC. With the news today that Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has given his blessing, or at least be willing, to let Kroenke take ownership [...]
Thursday on ESPN 2 the Colorado Rapids take on Real Salt Lake. It’s the battle of the Rocky Mountains!
Colorado has been hit or miss this season, sometimes showing some real class and other times looking quite amateurish. Real Salt Lake is coming off a good win vs FC Dallas last week.
I say keep an eye [...]
Today, the LA Galaxy played USL-1 team, the Vancouver Whitecaps, in an exhibition game in Alberta, Canada. David Beckham himself put on quite a show, but the Whitecaps came out on top 2-1. Landon Donovan didn’t make the trip due to a muscle strain.
I have an inside source on this game, and I will do [...]
I really have mixed feelings about this posting. The last thing I want to do is be another one of the many soccer people who raves about young Jozy Altidore and creates an impossible situation for the player to grow.
We all MUST remember that Altidore has only recently turned 18 years old. He has A [...]
Check out these sweet goals that are the nominees for MLS Goal of the Week.
All are great strikes, but this is only a 2 horse race. It’s either got to be Cuauhtemoc Blanco (around the 1:25 mark or Kenny Cooper (at the 1:45 mark).
Watch. Enjoy. Comment.

Well, it’s been another pretty good week for MLS. Some quality games and some quality goals. I was only able to see 4 games this week, the rest I had to settle for the highlights. Here’s my team by team review:
Columbus Crew: What can be said about Robbie Rogers? This kid can play; he brings [...]
Four games. One night. All played in the West. I’m not happy about that. Scheduling has to get better, today was a perfect opportunity to showcase a few key match-ups early in the season. The EPL has all their games on Sunday this weekend, so Saturday was ripe to bring in the some soccer fans [...]
Well, I just returned from a disappointing(for me), yet exciting game between the Galaxy and Red Bulls at the Home Depot Center; with NY edging out LA 2-1.
I start with the crowd. It was incredible. A sold out Home Depot Center always makes for a crazy and energetic crowd that fuels the players on the [...]
