Well as you all know I'm sure the US is atop their group with a not so convincing win today. For the first 23 minutes or so the United States dominated the game controlling the ball, creating chances, and leaving Japan only with a counter attack. The domination ended with a cheeky set play from a corner which left a Japanese player all alone at the far post with an empty net. Click to continue reading...

I just got wind of this story. Besides Kaka being he amazing player that he is, it is quite odd to me that Chelsea would want him now, because last I heard was that Scolari was wanted to thin out the team... now he's picking up another midfielder? Frankly I dont understand it unless they're going to play him up top possibly along side Drogba because their midfield is stronger then this cat. Click to continue reading...

In a few days the MLS will host their annual All-Star game in Toronto at BMO Stadium. This year they will be put up against West Ham a middle to low end of the table club in the EPL.


But lets get down to brass tacks (I never really got that saying.. does anyone really know where that comes from). Click to continue reading...

As first reported on Soccer By Ives, Claudio Reyna is finally doing the right thing and retiring.......thus allowing the Red Bulls to purchase a player with his vacant DP spot. I would write a congratulatory post on all of his accomplishments, but seeing as how he didn't wanna take a buyout to help the team he wasn't helping. Click to continue reading...

This video comes to us courtesy of Scaryice over at Climbing the Ladder, and I'm really left speechless by some of these misses. I mean I knew Barrett was an awful finisher (reminder: his job is to finish) but this video basically sums it up so even the most soccer illiterate person can realize how bad some of these are.

Ahhhh yes its July and to American soccer fans that means the oppressive heat has returned to the east coast, MLS games are slowing down to a crawling pace, and the 2nd edition of Superliga is right around the corner. Last years tournament featured games with passion not really found in many MLS games, and that helped suck in a legion of MLS fans to this young fledgling tournament and turn it into something special.

"Oh where, oh where, has Gooooch gone. Oh where, oh where can he be?"

There have been rumors going around that Onyewu could be heading to Fulham, Cologne, or even somewhere in France. But Standard Liege can't find him. They've been trying to get in contact with him since the 22nd of June but he's no where to be found. Click to continue reading...

Here he is.. you can have him for £24 million!! Yesterday Barcelona bid £12 million and was shot down like a dodo bird with Zenit saying he's worth £24 mill.

This strapping 27-year old fellow lead Zenit St Petersburg to the UEFA Cup victory. In the final he managed to tally two assists in their dominating 2-0 victory against the Scottish side Rangers. Click to continue reading...

So I was watching the Real Madrid - Barca game(which was anything but a classico) on Gol TV today and thought that not enough people appreciate Ray Hudson's "enthusiasm" for the game, or as I call it..........all around craziness. So in honor of Ray's over the top announcing, I present a video to the uninitiated so they can gain the same appreciation for him that I currently hold: Click to continue reading...

Maybe its just me, but what the hell is going on in MLS so far this year? The highly touted uber-team DC United has been playing more like Derby County recently, and last years MVP Luciano Emilio looks about as dangerous as a wet sponge..........here's some other things that are puzzling MLS fans and happened around MLS this week:

Somebody Break Up The Crew: Honestly nobody saw this coming. Click to continue reading...

Ahhhh another thursday night means another edition of MLS Primetime Thursdays, with this weeks matchup taking place up in Maple Syrup-Ville as the Red Bulls take on Toronto FC. It should be a good matchup as Toronto isn't the example of soccer futility anymore and the Red Bulls have been playing pretty decent the last couple games. Click to continue reading...
