The biggest lesson to be learned from the 2008 MLS attendance figures? The more the LA Galaxy suck, the more people will go to their games. In 2007 they almost made the playoffs but didn’t, and their figures were best in the league. In 2008 they were even worse and their numbers [...]

I love Craigslist. You can find anything on there: Jobs, apartments, true love, one night stands (ahem, apparently) and - best of all - trades. Like this one.
One brave Toronoto FC fan has offered to trade one third of his reproductive equipment for Houston Dynamo’s Canadian goal machine Dwayne De Rosario. Not sure exactly what [...]

I love YouTube. I knew it was only a matter of time before we got to see for ourselves the hoolie porn actions of the fun guys at the previously discussed Columbus-West Ham friendly.

Ever wonder how they make the movement in the video games look so realistic?
Like this.
This is Toronto FC’s Maurice Edu, performing a bicycle kick in a “motion capture” session for FIFA Soccer 09.
Cool, huh?

MLS fans, it’s time! Time to start thinking about the July 24 MLS All-Star game, where we can once again prove that our best-of-the-best can beat an off-season, mid-table European squad. After which we can say, for another year, “See? We can compete with Europe!”
Unless we lose, in which case we’ll [...]

Remember when MLS off-seasons were massive newsless voids? No longer. There are Beckham’s various adventures to keep up with, transfer rumours either linking MLS with top players like Seba Veron and Andriy Shevchenko, or young Americans like Jozey Altidore linked with big European clubs, while big name has-beens like Denilson are being cut. There’s also [...]

Toronto FC Fans are a Bunch of Tossers
By: Bob | 8 Comments
It only took Toronto FC 384 minutes before they scored their first MLS goal, which gave their supporters more than enough time to gather every seat cover from Ottawa to Moose Jaw to throw on to the pitch in celebration. This long held Canadian tradition dates all the way back to May 12, 2007. [...]
