Week 28 Recap - Anyone want the playoffs?

0
Who do you pick now to make the playoffs? With a handful of games remaining there are now three teams who have assured themselves of a playoff berth - New England, Houston, and Columbus, one team that hasn't been there in awhile, two that have been there time and time again. Who's next? That's a [... Click to continue reading...

Week 28 - October

1
It's an exciting time of year. As the crisp autumn weather cools most places around the country, the playoff race is heating up. Teams are fighting for their postseason lives, anxious to be one of the eight to have a shot at the MLS Cup. It has been well documented here that Columbus is the [...] Click to continue reading...

Week 28 - Primetime Preview

FC Dallas v San Jose A quick preview, as the game starts in 26 minutes or so. Another important match up for these two, with both squads in the lower half of the Western Conference. A win for either side puts them right back into the thick of things because of the conditions out West. Big [...] Click to continue reading...

Week 27 Recap

0
There's plenty to talk about after another busy weekend of MLS action. A few teams look dead and buried (DC, LA, and Toronto), while others storm to life at the right time - RSL and Colorado - to give themselves the inner track in the race to the playoffs. But if this season of the [...] Click to continue reading...

Week 27 Preview

1
The amazing thing about the Galaxy's awful record in the past two months (winless in 13 of 14) is the fact they aren't dead in the water. Even in the woeful West, their 29 points still gives them an outside chance at the MLS playoffs. When you're a league that accepts 8 of 14 teams, [...] Click to continue reading...

Week 27 - Primetime Preview

Chicago v Los Angeles It's Thursday already, and you know what that means. Thursday night soccer? Not a very catchy nickname. Either way, Beckham-mania (what's that? People don't care about him as much?) hits the Windy City, with Los Angeles taking on the Fire. With the playoff picture taking shape, the Galaxy now sit just two [. Click to continue reading...

Week 26 Review - Things Tighten Up

1
Yes Jeff Cunningham, I'm as surprised as you about your win in Chicago. What's even funnier is that this picture is not from the match, yet I stole it from the recap page. Almost every team facing a "must win" over the weekend came away with three points. That's a remarkable feat, considering a couple [. Click to continue reading...

Week 26 Preview - Playoff Push

0
It's unusual business this week as Houston and San Jose see their fixture from this weekend canceled, thanks in part to Hurricane Ike. Best wishes go out to the people of Texas and Houston as they try to piece together their lives and homes. That aside, it's another important weekend for just about every club.

Week 26 - Primetime Preview

Columbus v New York It's an important match out in Columbus tonight, as the front running Crew host the Red Bull, who have been on a hot streak of their own. Guillermo Barros Schelotto is a recent injury concern, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him given another week off. In his absence it will [. Click to continue reading...

Week 25 Recap - Winding down the stretch

0
The playoff race is tightening with just six weeks to go. That's still a lot of time for those in need of some points, and it's safe to say, at this point, everyone is still alive. A few teams are fading fast (Galaxy) and others try to stay close (Wizards, Dallas) to the remaining spot. [...] Click to continue reading...

New England v Chivas USA It's already Thursday, and that means another sparsely watched game on ESPN2. I'll hopefully be tuning in to catch the Revs taking on Chivas USA at Foxborough, although it may not be worth it. Check out the injury list from the MLSnet preview: NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION - OUT: FW Adam Cristman (R [. Click to continue reading...

Week 24 Recap - Let’s honor international week please

0
As expected, it was a rough week for those teams hit hard by international call ups. Toronto barely put together a squad. For others, such as DC and New England, injuries and the heavy schedule are really putting a crunch on players this late in the season. Then there are those squads lucky enough to [.

Week 24 Preview - On the weekend

0
So the Rapids surprised everyone, especially myself with their 1-0 win against Dallas in a very empty Pizza Hut Park. We'll see if Colorado can back that up and make a run at the playoffs, but I'll leave that til Monday. The big story for this weekend is the number of players who will be [...] Click to continue reading...

Week 24 Preview - Thursday Night Special

1
FC Dallas v Colorado Good day to everyone. We've got an enticing matchup on ESPN2 this evening - although it could turn out to be a real dud. Colorado travels to Dallas in a game that features two teams that are struggling to make the playoffs. Fortunately, both teams are in the West and are still [. Click to continue reading...

Week 23 Recap - Better late than never

0
Ok, so I want to try and write these recaps on Monday. I didn't get around to it this time, but I promise that it'll be better next week. Or not, as I think I have jury duty. Yuck. There wasn't as much Eastern dominance though, as only Columbus managed a win against a non-Conference [...] Click to continue reading...
