In Memoriam: The Steve Nicol Era Ends
Yesterday, it was announced Steve Nicol would no longer be the head coach of the New England Revolution. The decision was made after a meeting between the inimitable Scot and the Revolution's investor/operators (read: owners), Jonathan and Robert Kraft, and was described as a "mutual parting of...
MLS All Star Match to New York, and some other thoughts
Well sorry for the lack of updates the last 7 days, I have had a lot on my plate and probably will for a couple more weeks, but I thought there were some updates that needed mentioning so here they are: Major League Soccer made a big announcement this morning that the 2011 All Star Match will be...
Teaching Timbers: An American League Playing an International Sport
One of my favorite things about soccer isn't necessarily the game itself, but rather how interconnected the entire world is with the game. With the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL there's little beyond the actual league that goes on with the sport (I'm aware of FIBA and some minor occurrences outside the...
MLS Cup, CONCACAF Champions League, Supporter's Shield, SuperLiga, US Open Cup? Which matters most to you?
So the other day I knew this conversation would happen, as RSL fans were faced with a decision on who to cheer for in the MLS Cup Playoffs. If LA beats FC Dallas and makes it to the MLS Cup, then RSL would get another CCL spot next year (not a group stage spot, but a qualifying spot). If FC...
SuperLiga: Ngwenya 2, Pachuca 1
With the Dynamo staring a disappointing draw in the face, Joseph Ngwenya put on his cape and saved the day for the Houston...with a lot of help from his friends of course. With less than five minutes in the game, Corey Ashe sent a smooth cross in from a free kick that found Ngwenya in the air who...
SuperLiga: Another Damn Draw
It may not have been a MLS match, but the result sure felt like it. After controlling the flow of play for most of the match and holding a 1-0 lead, the Dynamo fell asleep on a Chivas USA set piece and gave up an easy equalizer that kept the Gringo Goats alive in Group A of SuperLiga. It didn't...
Because I did the work, I'll share it
So I was asked to see how MLS is doing in friendlies this year. I think I found them all, its not like there is a single catalog. I broke them out by English and non-English opponents. To date here are those numbers ...
Bruce Arena, spoiled brat or genius? And why does MLS hate the CONCACAF Champions League?
OK, so that is an attention grabbing headline, and perhaps a bit rash but when you consider the facts I have to admit I am becoming a Bruce Arena hater, not that he is a bad coach, but rather that he seems to be a spoiled brat, who believes that the rules that everyone else has to play by don't...
The win they needed
After a couple of underwhelming victories the past few weeks, this win was just what United needed to not only continue their unbeaten streak, but also gain some confidence going into Superliga. Recently, United has been beating lesser opponents while giving up too many goalscoring opportunities....
Still not quite better than the Mexicans
Just got finished watching the match immediately following my three hour drive home from Virginia Beach. At least I should say I just got finished watching 81 minutes of the match. I missed the rest thanks to the lights at RFK delaying the match past 10:00 pm. What's with that anyway? That's just...
