The Revolution got a re-match of the MLS Cup that they lost again to the Houston [...]

Gullit says Maldini isn’t good enough for MLS

I think I like this guy.  LA Galaxy manager Ruud Gullit had some words about his former team AC Milan.  Gullit thinks they are slow and old.  He specifically singles out Paulo Maldini saying that he’s not even good enough to play in MLS.   Maldini is an old guy with a ton of experience at [...]

Good things in store for San Jose Earthquakes in 2008

The newly created San Jose Earthquakes team just finished up the Carolina Challenge Cup, an annual pre-season tournament featuring 4 teams.  This year along with the Earthquakes the New York Red Bulls, Toronto FC, and home team Charleston Battery.  San Jose went a perfect 3-0 to win the tournament while the USL team went 1-1-1 [...]

DC United impressive in Harbour View pounding

Luciano Emilio scores a lot of goals so 2 from his isn’t a big surprise.  Devon McTavish doesn’t score a lot of goals for DC United so 2 from him is a little bit unexpected.  Fred added one to complete the 5 - 0 beating put on Jamaican Harbour View in the quarterfinals of the [...]

Do the DP’s have to be old timers?

MLS season ticket sales for 2008

What Major League Soccer team do you think would have the most season ticket sales.  If you based your guess on success on the field you might guess that Houston, New England or DC United might have the biggest season ticket sales.  You’d be terribly wrong.  The LA Galaxy have the 2nd largest number which [...]

The Los Angeles Galaxy are back to a familiar position, on the losing side of the score sheet. I haven’t been able to watch the Galaxy vs FC Seoul yet but I have it on the DVR. Alan Gordon is a guy that I have criticized a lot but he got the go [...]
