It felt like deja vu. Like something I had seen two years earlier that made next to zero sense. How was it that a much different USMNT was still doing the same things. Better yet, how was it that one man, that shiny bald head in the middle of the field that is supposed to […]

Things are getting ugly in Columbus. For a team that traded away their star player only to have his backup and replacement score four goals in the last two games, including the first hat trick for the team in 12 years( are you freaking kidding???), the Crew are floundering badly. Averaging roughly one point per […]

Just when the world though that Jermaine Jones was about to go off and have himself a superb season, he has put in three very average performances. The Rapids have continued their Supporter’s Shield winning pace, but they have been doing it largely without Jermaine Jones. The United State’s international enforcer got off to a […]

The New York Red Bulls have dominated the news waves this year. Their enigmatic antics have established them as somewhere between the worst team in MLS and the beast team in the East. Somewhere in between. As I write, they sit first in the East, with potential to move down when the weekend is all […]

Our first MLS manager has bitten the dust and, unsurprisingly, it is a foreign manager. Britain’s own Owen Coyle has parted ways with the Houston Dynamo so as to move back home to be with his family. It was by mutual consent. So where do the Dynamo go from here? Well, there is only one […]

Over the past couple of weeks there has been no shortage of speculation in regards to the high profile trade of Kei Kamara from the Columbus Crew. That is old news and thankfully the two matches since the trade have provided an opportunity to actually see the Columbus side ‘post Kamara’ (Kei that is). Unfortunately […]

If you blinked, you may have missed that the Montreal Impact have fallen from their high horse of first place and dropped all the way to fifth. It all happened rather suddenly. After starting out the season so strongly, winning four of their first six, the Impact have since managed to win zero games in […]

Real Salt Lake came out firing to start this MLS season. Against the odds, they rose to the top of the West, hand in hand with the Colorado Rapids, also defying the odds. But they were two different kinds of success. The Colorado Rapids were compact. They knew their strengths and they played to them. […]

There is nothing more frustrating than seeing European’s continue to turn up their nose at MLS. Despite all the hard evidence and statements from numerous players, so many purists over the Atlantic still see MLS as a joke. As nothing more than a recreational league. Tim Howard, Steven Gerard, Andrea Pirlo and more have all […]

The Seattle Sounders looked like they had a good thing going. They had won three out of four, putting behind them a rough start to the season where they won just one out of five. Having lost Obafemi Martins, Lamar Neagle and Marco Pappa, it had the feel of a rebuilding season. Jordan Morris hadn’t […]

The Houston Dynamo have put up quite the sporadic array of results lately. After beating Sporting Kansas City, a defensively-stout side, 2-0, they lost to San Jose 3-1. They they shut out Joao Plata’s Real Salt Lake 1-0 before suffering a loss to the same score against the struggling Chicago Fire. Just when we were […]

Bruce Arena found himself a bit spoiled against the LA Galaxy’s hated-rivals, the San Jose Earthquakes. The amount of attackers he had did not fit into the scheme that had brought the Galaxy so much success. The Galaxy had been utilizing the 4-2-3-1 with better success than any other MLS side this season. They were […]

The New England Revolution have that rare distinction of having fewer losses per match than any of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. Yet they sit third from the bottom. It’s simply a matter of draws, as they have more than anyone else in MLS: Seven. But by that standard, it cannot be […]
