China Goes To Colorado

The Rapids also took on the Chinese national team last nite after they lost to Real Salt Lake of all teams. Too bad for RSL they can’t beat any other MLS teams. Well the Rapids fielded a team of mostly reserves that lost 2-1 to China.
I’m not here to write about the game. [...]

Another Failed Thursday Prediction

If the goal scored around the 12th minute by Herculez Gomez had not been called back due to a bad offiside call, the Rapids would have gone up 2 - 0.  Instead of that happening, Real Salt Lake scored a just a short time afterwards to tie the game at the final score of 1 [...]

Herculez Was Not Offside

It has been a while since I’ve been registered as a referee, but I’m pretty sure Tommy was wrong and that goal should have been a good goal.  Now instead of being up 2-0 (which was my predicted final score [...]

Wizards Move To The Top Of The Table

The Kansas City Wizards with their 90th+ minute moved to the lone position at the top of the table. New York really didn’t want to keep that scoreless streak going by giving 3 to Real Salt Lake in a 3-3 tie. Mathis got a couple of goals to help out my fantasy team [...]

Clint Mathis goes to New York Red Bulls

The Colorado Rapids (Colorado Arsenal or Arsenal Colorado or whatever they are) traded Clint Mathis away to New York. Other specifics of the deal are unknown, but I hope the Rapids got something good for Mathis, I had high hopes for Mathis this year in Colorado.
This will be Clint’s second term in New York, [...]

Zach Thornton traded to Colorado Rapids (Arsenal?)

Zach Thornton was traded by his Chicago Fire to the Colorado Rapids for future draft picks.  Thornton has been a big part of Chicago Fire history, helping them to win the MLS Cup in their first season in 1998.  Thornton is at or near the top of several goalkeeping categories in MLS history.
What will the [...]
