Kekuta Manneh is arguably the biggest reason why the Vancouver Whitecaps have returned to contending. In his past five matches, the left sided winger has scored two goals and added two assists. In those five games, the Whitecaps are 3-1-1, with the three wins coming in matches where Manneh contributed to a goal. So you […]

Fafa Picault is certainly not a household name. The American-born Haitian is perhaps one of the biggest ‘who?’ call-ups in recent USMNT history. He quite literally came out of nowhere when he popped up as one of the seven players not on the preliminary roster to be invited to the team’s Miami training camp. The […]

Being drawn into the Group of Death – again – didn’t do the United States any favors in the Copa America. Obviously. Colombia and Costa Rica are obviously the two deadliest opponents but Paraguay are no pushovers either. This is South America after all. There aren’t many weaknesses. But this public service announcement pertains to […]

One thing that has always been said about the recent form of the San Jose Earthquakes is that they are incredibly consistent. They are an all-around good side. They are rarely ever bad and they are equally rarely ever great. They are nice and good. Right in the thick of any given playoff hunt and […]

FC Dallas have been pretty reliant on Mauro Diaz this year and that reliance is only exemplified by their inability to procure results on the road. FC Dallas hit a rough spot. They lost three games in a row after establishing themselves as the powerhouse of MLS. They were making short work of everything and […]

Mo Babouli is a unique case. There is a lot of hype and hubbub that he can be a major force in Toronto for years to come. Yet, he is still rather obsolete in the grand scheme of things. He doesn’t even have a WhoScored.com profile. But that’s okay because we will tell you all […]

MLS has been making a point to establish rivalries with their recent expansions. No expansion exemplifies that more than New York City FC. Ever since the inception of the league, New York has had a major part to play. Although, to be fair, it had always been a case like in the NFL, where the […]

The Colorado Rapids made major adjustments this off-season and at some point in time, all of their major acquisitions have been carrying the team. Currently, it is Shkelzen Gashi’s turn. The Albanian had a slow start to the season despite bringing over two straight seasons of being the Swiss Super League’s golden boot winner. There […]

Sporting Kansas City broke out of their slump in a major way against Orlando City. Despite only scoring two goals, the Midwesterners fired 34 shots, 13 of which were on target. They witnessed a creative burst from their midfielders that amounted to 18 chances created from their five midfielders. After griping about their creative midfield […]

The USMNT’s preliminary Copa America roster didn’t have that many surprises. In fact, some would argue that it had no surprises. That doesn’t mean that no one was left off, however. The main two players that were left off of the USMNT are Union striker C.J. Sapong and Orlando City fullback Brek Shea. We have covered […]

Just like that, the Whitecaps are third in the West. For now. Had you told any casual fan that Vancouver would go into Toronto and surrender three goals, the assumption would have been that they’d lose. Toronto’s new home is supposed to be a fortress and Vancouver had done little to prove that they had […]

The Philadelphia Union have drawn three games in a row, but that doesn’t mean that they are off their flow. Anything but. You see, the Union are a unique brand of underdog. Most underdogs take on one of two personas. The ‘fast out of the gates’ persona or the ‘clinging on for dear life and […]

The New England Revolution aren’t in the best of situations, as they have more draws than anyone else in the league, pushing them down towards the bottom of the Eastern Conference. But that doesn’t mean that all hope is lost. Kelyn Rowe is one example of that. Rowe’s spirit is not at all dampened by […]

It’s the news we have all been waiting for. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has finally confirmed that he will be letting his contact with PSG expire at the end of the year and moving on. Given his affinity for the theatrics, it only makes sense that Zlatan has not let on as to where he will be […]

Losing Obafemi Martins to Shanghai Shenua was a debilitating blow that quite literally left the Seattle Sounders offense grasping at straws. They started out the season with three straight losses as a clearly makeshift offense continued to struggle to consistently threaten the goal. What once was Neagle-Dempsey-Martins was now Dempsey-sometimes Ivanschitz-sometimes Morris. There were a […]
