mls-3.0 Stories - Sounder At Heart
MLS Schedule Details Matter
Spend too much time examining the MLS scheduling format and the philosophies therein, and one will inevitably fall down a logical rabbit hole - though, to be fair, this doesn't differ significantly from other "major-league" North American sports. MLS version 3.0, or 2.1, or whatever we are up to,...
Don Garber Says MLS To Become Top League
At three different points of the year MLS Commissioner Don Garber makes the big time media rounds and talks about the future of Major League Soccer. Tonight's All-Star Game is one of those times. MLS is getting really good, despite all the times they are the brunt of jokes, at getting exposure....
MLS Must Go South
It may seem odd for me, a proud Cascadian, to proclaim this. And as an old media guy maybe you'll get a bit surprised because I'm not going to talk about the current TV/radio markets. But the fact is that the Sun Belt is where the growth is. The census results are starting to trickle in, and while...
Tomorrow Montero, Thursday the WORLD!
Actually likely not. Sure, WorldSoccerReader and KING5 are both reporting that Fredy Montero is going to be extended/re-signed today. It seems likely that he's another Designated Player for Seattle. There are a ton of questions that arise if this is indeed what the Wed Noon Player Announcement is....
The day things changed?
Lost in the whole "actually playing the game" thing was my penchant to declare that this is NOT MLS 2.0. Seattle, nor Toronto, were not the continuation of Garber's first era, but the start of something different. Garber's first era was to throw out silly rule changes, not format changes, but RULE...
Finally - Montreal to MLS - Your Open Thread
www.montreal2012.com is their website. The announcement is today at 7:40AM (right while I will be roasting coffee) with streaming around the webs I thought I would post an open thread so you could share your thoughts about the 3 Canadian side joining the League, as well as the League's growth to...
... if this is a dream I want to stay asleep - update
That line is from Sigi Schmid, but I think it relates to so many of us after this first season. I know it personally feels that way. Last night, with all of the pomp, with the win, it was one of my favorite days of my young life that didn't involve family (yes, my wedding was better). The team...
The View from the Outside
Right now the Rave Green Nation is in various level of disappointment. The early success and recent form have combined to create a frustrated fanbase with some even thinking that Sounders won't earn a single point in the remaining three matches. Visions of Shields and Cups danced in our heads at...
The Eras of MLS
I often talk of MLS 1.0, MLS 2.0 and MLS 3.0. There have been some questions, and I have overheard some call the current era MLS 2.0. But let's review the league, it has some clear breaking points and really must be defined as three different eras. MLS 1.0 - 1996-2001 - Americanization of the...
Onalfo Fired, Sounders Player Ratings and CBA negotiations
KC canned Onalfo for being basically an average coach in the league for 2.5 years. Average used to a get a club a decent seed in the playoffs, now it barely makes it in them. But if Onalfo isn't good enough for KC, what are Osario and Hyndman doing? I had the "pleasure" of doing the Player...
