Easily the most exciting game from a neutral standpoint this past weekend was the epic shootout between the Columbus Crew and the Montreal Impact. Columbus established a 4-1 lead over the top team in the East just into the second half and the game looked to be set. Not only that, but we saw a […]

It’s gotten bad. Really bad. Sporting Kansas City, the defensive epicenter of the Western Conference at the beginning of the season, have now gone six matches without a win. In those six matches, they have given up nine goals and only scored four. So while the defense isn’t exactly collapsing, the offense is. And it […]

You can just kind of feel it. Real Salt Lake have been quietly hanging around in the standings, waiting for Joao Plata to return. They haven’t lost a lot of ground and they haven’t looked horribly exposed. They’ve lost two and won one since losing their star man, but at no point were we able […]

The Houston Dynamo are in one funky streak, putting them in one funky position in the Western Conference. Despite having the second most goals in the West and less goals surrendered than fourth place FC Dallas for a goal differential of zero, the Dynamo are four points removed in last place. It’s a curious situation. […]

On Sunday, New York City F.C. traveled to Washington D.C. for an Eastern Conference clash with D.C. United. Goals from captain David Villa and Khiry Shelton, gave the men in blue a much needed three points. NYCFC currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference standings and only trail leaders Montreal by two points. In the […]

As Justin Meram fell to the ground in the Montreal penalty box on Saturday I can tell you from personal experience that the mood was high. Even with all recent memory pointing to the contrary, the Crew were about to get a fourth goal against the Eastern conference leaders just eight minutes into the second […]

New York City has won two straight games for the first time this season and in the process, they have pulled themselves up to fourth in the Eastern Conference. Not surprisingly, David Villa has been at the center of that rise to prominence. But he has not been doing it alone. Shocking, I know. Patrick […]

I wrote not more than a week ago about how Vancouver was perhaps the only remaining team that it was impossible to get a read on. They have been incredibly unpredictable, opportunistic, and just generally enigmatic. But against Portland – in front of their home fans – Vancouver put in a master class of offensive dominance […]

The San Jose Earthquakes have one, huge, massive, overwhelming problem. They have no plan B. This season has had one order of business – hope that Chris Wondolowski scores. Because if he doesn’t, well then they’re out of luck. Seven goals, he’s scored for the Quakes. No one else has even scored two. There have […]

FC Dallas faced a near-impossible battle to take on Toronto FC in their newly-renovated home. The Reds were defending their fortress for the first time this season and just about everyone was in agreement. Toronto’s defense combining with the ever elusive Sebastian Giovinco, would be too much for a sputter FC Dallas to overcome. They […]

The United States Men’s National Team is getting younger. Much younger. The last of the old guard are holding out for the Copa America this summer, but given another two years, those same guys will be on their way out, while the young guns that are emerging around the world are going to be making […]

The New York Red Bulls had just turned a corner. Their sputtering, misfiring offense came together to notch seven goals in two matches against Orlando City and the dreaded FC Dallas. Their entire front four was clicking at long last and they looked ready to turn their season around. Match up against Orlando yet again, […]

Toronto has emerged as perhaps the best all-around team in MLS. At the very least, they look to be the best in the East. Their defense has only permitted seven goals in eight matches and while the offense has only scored nine, the second fewest, we all know what their offense is capable of. Between […]

MLS is known for attracting some major talents that are past their prime, but they have also shown a knack for unearthing some incredibly talented young Central and South American talents. FC Dallas has made a habit of it, churning up guys like Fabian Castillo. But they aren’t alone. Orlando City are proving to have […]

Daniel Steres is one of those stories that movies are built around. He was a huge prospect coming out of college, but never picked up a contract with Chivas. Seattle picked him up but he never made an appearance. Trips to the USL gave way to a return to his hometown at LA Galaxy II. […]
