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 […]

The United States Men’s National Team took a bit of a hit with the news that Jozy Altidore is most likely going to be missing for the Copa America. The hulking Toronto striker suffered another hamstring injury along the lines of what he experienced in the 2014 World Cup. While this is a big loss […]

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 […]

I mentioned after the Orlando City draw that the Red Bulls had suffered a serious step back from the progress they had made. After scoring seven goals in two games against Orlando and Dallas, the Jersey-dwellers returned to their road woes against Orlando and managed only five shots. It’s like the creative well ran dry […]

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 […]

When Zlatan announces he is moving, everything in the soccer world should stop and focus on where he is going. Since we make our living covering everything soccer-related in the Unites States, that means that the fact that Zlatan may come to our soil takes precedence in the news world. Like I said in the […]

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 […]

No. I could stop the article right there, but I guess I should elaborate. After the Crew’s drive to the MLS cup final, I didn’t think Gregg Berhalter would make many changes to a team that seemed to really click in the second half of the year. Bringing in new players can often disrupt the […]

MLS Cup & Golden Boot Predictions 2016 The 2016 Major League Soccer (MLS) season is still in its infancy, yet there are already frontrunners for the title of surprise package, most disappointing team, and favorites for the Golden Boot. And of course, favorites are emerging to win the all-coveted MLS Cup. Without a doubt, the […]

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 […]

Earlier this year, I pointed out that, while the Philadelphia Union were doing great things and they looked like they were real contenders. However, there was one part of the team that felt something like a void. That place was the No. 10 role of the 4-2-3-1 formation. The Union had used Alberg and Ilsinho […]

The New England Revolution have more draws than anyone else in MLS. They have hung with opponents in just about every game, but they haven’t had that extra umph to push them over the edge. It’s usually not the easiest thing to pick out one individual aspect of a team and say that that is […]

Jekyll and Hyde sum it perfectly doesn’t it? It was a game of two halves for the Portland Timbers as they were able to take a lead heading into the half, but two mistakes in the second half doomed the reigning champions. Jake Gleeson kept the Timbers alive in the first half. He palmed away […]

DC United have had an interesting story line developing this year. Their forwards have been rotating about with no sense of consistency. Sometimes, it works out. Then there is Alvaro Saborio and Luciano Acosta. The two have established quite the partnership when it comes to coming on late and scoring. In a span of three […]
