2008 All Star Game Goes To Canada

Toronto will host the 2008 MLS All Star game at the brand new BMO Field.  For a fifth year the format on the MLS All Star game will be the MLS All Stars versus a high power international team.  Coming up soon the MLS All Stars will take on Celtic.  In the past years the [...]

Beckham Has Arrived

Well kinda.  He was in LA yesterday and was officially introduced to the media and fans at a press conference yesterday morning.  Everyone is over-reacting, including ESPN.
I do hope this does work out well for the Galaxy and more importantly the whole league and even more just soccer in the US in general.  But we [...]

Unofficial MLS Club Championship

Tonite I came across a fun website.  It is the Unofficial MLS Club Championship website.
The idea is simple.  The winner of the first ever MLS game is the champion.  They hold the title until they lose a regular season regulation time game.  If a game ends in a tie, the current champions remain champions.
It appears [...]

Wizards Losing, DC United Winning

This might be what was expected at the beginning of the season.  I still remember the excitement of that first Wizards game of the year when they went to DC and beat DC United 4-2.  The season has a lot of promise, and it kept going good for the Wizards.
Now  aparently anyone can beat them.  [...]

Are You Kidding, An Investigation?

The Globe and Mail reports that
Major League Soccer officials have concluded an investigation into unruly behaviour
This because of the seat cushions tossed onto the field during the first game that Toronto FC ever scored. I wonder how long their investigation lasted.  It could not have been a very in depth investigation.  Probably went something [...]

Where Do You Get MLS Merchandise?

I’ve written before about the lack of choices when it comes to purchasing MLS gear online, but now this is kind of the opposite of that. I guess you really have to know where to look. Look at the screenshot below and tell me who would have thought about going to that website [...]

Giving 10 Yards For A Free Kick

I’m watching my recorded Man U vs AC Milan from earlier this afternoon, but this applies to MLS games as well.  It happens at every level of soccer that I’ve ever seen.  I’ve been guilty of it myself.  When a team receives a free kick anywhere within reasonable shooting distance from goal, a defender always [...]

My MLS Single Table

I noticed another popular MLS single table has not been updated in quite a while, so I created my own.
If you look at the official MLSnet.com standings you don’t get any idea of who is in the playoffs with their new top 2 seeds plus top 4 wildcard playoff system. Look at my single [...]

Something Strange Is Going On

Excluding Chicago Fire an expansion team should not be expected to good their first season in play, so lets pretend Toronto FC does not exist yet.  New York Red Bulls and Kansas City Wizards are on top of the east.  DC United and New England Revolution are on the bottom of the east.  FC Dallas [...]
