Long weekend

I hope you all had a good long weekend. Mine was exhausting and then work was even more so when I got back. A lot of exciting stuff went down while I was out of town and then locked in my office.
Beckham may be missing from the Galaxy if he gets called back [...]

Juan Pablo Impresses

Tonite was my first chance to see Juan Pable Angel in action, and he was impressive.  Two goals and an assist tonite, 2 assists and a goal last weekend, possibly player of the week two weeks in a row.  Thats a good start for player of the month award, and if Eric Wynalda is right, [...]

Gold Cup Roster Announced

Eight Major League Soccer sides will have representatives on the team that will represent the US in this summer’s Gold Cup.  Bob Bradley announced the roster today featuring 12 MLS players and 11 from outside MLS.  The Gold Cup is the number one priority for Bob Bradley this summer, so this should be his top [...]

Chicago Fire vs Red Bulls Thursday Prediction

You understand that you should not expect great things from your team if I predict a victory for them here. I’ve only got one thursday prediction correct all year so far, so just assume the opposite.
My pick is going to go with the home team tonite, the New York Red Bulls. Sorry Red [...]

Jeff Cunningham Alecko Eskandarian Swap

Jeff Cunningham is headed to Toronto FC and in return Alecko Eskandarian is going to Real Salt Lake.  This is a surprising trade to me.  I can’t imagine why Real Salt Lake would give up Jeff Cunningham.  Alecko is a great player, but for my money I don’t think this is an even swap.  I’d [...]

Guess Who The Player Of The Week Is

If 2 assists and a goal in a 4-0 pounding isn’t good enough for player of the week, Clint Mathis probably scored 4 unassisted goals with a couple of assists to boot.  Well that would be impressive, but it was Juan Pablo Angel who got the goal and 2 assists in only his 2nd game [...]

Major League Soccer In Minnesota

Aparently an announcement is going to be made about “Copa Minnesota” which is supposed to take place in October at the Metrodome.  This Copa Minnesota will feature the LA Galaxy along with another unspecified team.  If Beckham is on the roster that could draw a large crowd.  They are hoping to set the Minnesota attendance [...]

BMO Field Needs Some Repair

The brand new BMO Field is in need of some repair before DC United visits on Saturday.  Fox Sports reported that 6 bolts from the stadium have been found by fans and turned in.  This could be from a capacity crowd bouncing up and down on the Stadium more than expected of a typical sports [...]

New Look MLS Fan Blog

I changed up the theme a little bit last night. Is the new look better or worse than the old one?  Or do syndicate the MLS Fan Blog and never actually come to the site?

The Good Old Brimstone Cup

Tonite ESPN2 brings us the Brimstone Cup, which I hear is the oldest MLS rivalry or at least oldest one with a trophy.  I didn’t even know they had a trophy for this one before today.  I suppose this goes back to the days of Dallas Burn.  What would be a better title for that [...]
