Today was in stark contrast to the mediocre playoff showings of yesterday, as all teams were playing with a little extra something. Maybe they were bored out of their minds while watching Columbus’ performance yesterday too. Regardless, there was a great atmosphere in todays games, especially in anticipation of David Beckham’s first venture [...]
Three Years Later, Beckham Finally In MLS Postseason
By: Dave Martinez | 1 Comment
Two dreadful seasons that have been plagued with injuries, mismanagement, power struggles, coaching changes, confusion, inner turmoil, and a very revealing book highlighting the insurrection of a misguided and torn team have bought David Beckham to a place he has never been before; the MLS Postseason.
Quite the road, eh?

David Bcekham’s loan move from LA Galaxy to Milan will apparently be announced in the next few hours. It may have already happened by the time you read this.
In the words of Milan VP Adriano Galliano:
“The agreement for David Beckham has been completed. In a few hours we and Galaxy will officially announce this deal [...]

The Major League Soccer regular season is done. Columbus Crew took the Supporters Shield for the second year in a row, and if it was up to some fans (myself included) then that would be that. Crew would be champions of the imaginary MLS single table, Galaxy would be runners up, Houston third and so [...]

Have you heard the story linking Thierry Henry with a move to Major League Soccer and the New York Red Bulls? I know it’s been around for a while now, ever since the Designated Player/Beckham Rule came into effect, but for some reason it kicked up again this past weekend.
All of a sudden the rumour [...]

Nice little mini-controversy in Major League Soccer this weekend, with Seattle Sounders beating Columbus Crew 1-0 by [allegedly] digging a hole in the penalty area.
Here’s what we know happened: Crew’s Guillermo Barros Schelotto had a chance to equalize from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute, but dragged his shot wide.
GBS took the blame for [...]

Slowly but surely, Major League Soccer is getting there. What started as a league with a countdown clock (90:00 to 00:00) and wacky dribble-at-the-keeper shootouts to resolve tied games, is inching its way towards doing everything regular leagues do.
Like not playing league games while the World Cup is happening for example. Long an annoyance to [...]

“Hey! Fredy! C’mon, Dude, I need you to get up and act like I didn’t just stomp you on the chest hand. C’mon, man. Please? I know I used to play for Portland and you guys hate Portland, but Prus is talking with the 4th official and they look pissed. [...]
Should MLS Purchase USL?
By: Daryl | 9 Comments
If that’s too many acronyms in one headline then allow me to elaborate. MLS is Major League Soccer, the top tier of football in the USA/Canada., as recognized by FIFA (and David Beckham). USL is United Soccer Leagues, consisting of USL 1 and USL 2, the de facto second and third tier of US/Canadian soccer.

The upside of the twitter revolution? Lots and lots of people can have immediate access to your off-the-cuff thoughts.
The downside? Lots and lots of people can have immediate access to your off-the-cuff thoughts.
And that can cost you. Ask Brian Ching, Houston Dynamo forward who sent the above tweet after a controversial Seattle [...]

Are you bored of the Landon Donovan vs David Beckham catfight yet? I’m not. In fact, I think seeing these two air their arguments in public was the one and only thing that could have made the “Beckham in Los Angeles” story interesting again.
Who knows? Maybe one day we’ll look back and realize it was [...]

The David Beckham vs Landon Donovan drama got another chapter over the weekend. Beckham responded to criticism from Donovan (and other teammates) about his captaincy of and commitment to LA Galaxy with this cold as ice quote:
“It’s unprofessional in my eyes. In every football player’s eyes throughout the world it would be unprofessional to speak [...]

It was made official on Monday, the Philadelphia team joining Major League Soccer in 2010 will be known as Philadelphia Union. And they will have a pretty kick-ass logo (left) which is explained in more detail on their website.
Philadelphia will be joined in 2011 by teams from Portland and Vancouver, giving MLS a grand total [...]

Poor DC United. Nobody wants to give them a home.
The four-time winners of both the MLS Cup and the Supporters Shield are currently playing in RFK Stadium, built in 1961, the former home of the Washington Redskins (US Football) and the Washington Nationals (baseball.) And attempts to give them a stadium of their [...]
MLS 2009 Preview: Kansas City Wizards (and Blogger Needed!)
By: Laurie | No Comments
So, yeah, the season has already started. Maybe I’m being a little half-as free with the word “preview.” But since the Wizards have not yet played a game, I’m still technically correct in my labeling. (Get back to me on Monday, when I will still be posting these.)
This preview is [...]
