Moor Gets Contract Extension

0
FC Dallas defender Drew Moor has signed a new four year contract with the club according to Soccer America and later confirmed by one of my sources. Moor is one of club's most consistent and reliable players, something not to many people have been able to do on that backline over the last few years. I [. Click to continue reading...

DC To Add Two More Africans

DC United is going to Africa. Instead of their usual shopping in Latin America, the club has gone in a different direction as of late. At the start of the season they signed Francis Doe (Libria) and a month ago they signed keeper Louis Crayton (Liberia). Now they are set to bring on two more Africans [. Click to continue reading...

2009 SuperDraft Projected Order

30
Its been a long while since I updated this projected order, mainly because I knew there would be a slew of trades that would come down to shake up this order. And let's be honest, we've seen plenty of deals this year that included draft picks. With Monday's trade deadline looming, I figured we could bring [. Click to continue reading...

Who Should Start Tonight?

3
Its sort of a slow news day (or week rather) in MLS. Tonight we have our third World Cup qualifier in Chicago against Trinidad and Tobago. The question is going into this game, who will Bob Bradley start? Keep some of the same from the Cuba game or change things up a bit at home? Both [...] Click to continue reading...

World Cup Qualifying Schedule

1
One thing I do enjoy is an international fixture date. Loads of games and lots of interesting storylines. Today is just that day around the world as countries from all over take part in another round of World Cup qualifying matches. Aside from the CONCACAF fun there are some great matches across the pond, particularly one [. Click to continue reading...

Playoff Chances Starting To Fade?

2
For a few teams in Major League Soccer, their chances of reaching the playoffs this season are rapidly fading away. Other clubs have little or not doubt that they are in and a few are actually battling things out here in the final stages of the season. Just as mentioned in the Power Rankings this morning, [.

New Poll Time: MVP Race

2
I figured today would be a good day as ever to do a new poll here at WVH. Its sort of slow news wise so I am cleaning up some things around here and felt it was a good time to start discussing the MVP race for this season. You have five players to pick from [...] Click to continue reading...

Trade Deadline Looming

4
One thing that may be sneaking up on everyone is next Monday's trade deadline. Yup, Major League Soccer is just like every other American sports league by having a trade deadline. The big question is who is left to be traded at this point? - New York is looking for a striker within the league. We've known [. Click to continue reading...

Soccer on the iPhone

4
Normally I don't talk about mobile games or video games in general. I do play the FIFAs out there and pretty much have been playing them since the good ol' Sega Genesis days. Now days a lot of my gaming is on my iPhone because I don't have a lot of time to sit down [...] Click to continue reading...

WVH Power Rankings: Groups Taking Shape

1
Finally, after 24 weeks of play we are finally seeing some groups take form in Major League Soccer. In the past, by mid-summer you would typically see a group that was out in front ahead of everyone, a middle pack and a couple of a few teams that were total crap. For a while we didn't [...] Click to continue reading...

WVH Rookie Watch List: Iro Starting To Shine

5
It almost seems like being the best rookie this season is like a death wish. Either you start out on top and fade quicker than anyone thought, get hurt or...well get hurt some more. That seems to be the nature of things right now in the league for our crop of rookies. Usually by now we [...] Click to continue reading...

WVH Weekly Awards: Huckerby’s Way

1
Sometimes it is just hard to break a good habit. Right now Columbus is finding out just how valuable Guillermo Barros Schelotto is to their club. Another Schelotto performance this weekend against New England. A goal and two assists lead the way over the Revs 4-0. But for once he won't be winning the Player of [. Click to continue reading...

World Cup Qualifying: CONCACAF Recap

2
So far, no surprises in the CONCACAF qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. After two games the usual 'Big Three' lead their respective groups and the teams behind them aren't really a shocker either. Two teams we thought would do better this time around in qualifying have a combine two points. Those two I'm talking about [. Click to continue reading...

MLS Looking Into 2009 Schedule

Call it the snooze button that was hit 20 times before finally waking up.
