Both team's are struggling right now, as since the all star break, the two are a combined 1-7-5. LA hasn't won since June. KC's only win since the all star break was a game against Chivas USA that they probably should have only gotten a point out of. Click to continue reading...

Imagine an all-star team of footballers featuring the top names in the sport. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Cesc Fabregas, Fernando Torres, Thierry Henry, Robinho and David Villa. Now imagine all of these players on the same team, Manchester City. Before yesterday, that notion sounded ridiculous, but now that the Abu Dhabi United Group is in charge of [.

The Olympics were such a great experience. I hope all of you had the chance to watch a lot of it. I was watching sports that I've never watched before, just because it was the Olympics. I'd never usually watch badminton or team handball, but I did over the last few weeks.

Wasn't Michael Phelps just amazing? Click to continue reading...

Manchester United's 1-0 victory at Portsmouth earlier this afternoon concluded the second round of fixtures in the Premiership. It would be foolish to read too much into the standings at this point in this season, but it's still interesting to see the likes of Hull City and Newcastle near the top of the table while Portsmouth and Tottenham are languishing at the other end.

MARKHAM - Two 'Magical Men of Mayhem' were pulling out the tricks last night, as Eddy M. and Mark C. led the Pistolas to their latest victory.

Eddy 'M.VP' didn't need many games to return to his All Star form as he netted a hat trick. With 5 goals in his last two games, you'd never know he was injured all these weeks. Click to continue reading...

With the "all star break" over, the Wizards are back in action this Sunday against the Chicago Fire. Kansas City comes into the game unbeaten in their last 5 league matches, and have pulled themselves back into the playoff race, after looking like they'd struggle for the early part of the season. They're still the second lowest scoring team in the league, but their 3 goals against Columbus gives hope that they are getting out of that scoring funk. Click to continue reading...

America's Major League Soccer All Star XI defeated West Ham United 3-2 in a preseason friendly. Dean Ashton was the standout performer of the match as he notched both of West Ham's goals. Carlton Cole partnered Ashton up top and was largely ineffective throughout the match, stressing the need for a healthy Craig Bellamy. Click to continue reading...

First of all, congrats to Angel, who came off the bench in the second half for Blanco, and did an excellent job, with a goal being waved off. Shame. It was a hell of a finish.

But the All Star Game isn't the only thing on Juanpies mind!

Angel recently had "productive" discussions with Colombian National Team Coach Jorge Luis Pinto.

Nothing like an All-Star break trade to get the presses going again. The Houston Dynamo and expansion side San Jose Earthquakes have come together to put a little deal together to send striker Kei Kamara to the Dynamo in exchange for a draft pick and some small allocation.

That green stuff is FieldTurf. That black stuff is the rubber gunk they pepper into the FieldTurf to make it softer and give the blades more support. And that shiny circular thing? That is the "lucky quid" (a pound coin) that some traveling West Ham hid in the corner of BMO Field's pitch yesterday in their attempt to make there own luck tonight against the All Star team.

Is Juan Toja about to play his final match as a MLS player?

Rumor has it that the longhair midfielder will fly to Romania tonight, after the All-Star match, to finish a deal with Romanian powerhouse Steaua Bucharest.

If you're in New York and looking for own personal jesus All-Star Game after party might I suggest an evening with Martin L. Gore of Depeche Mode. You know Martin; he's the blond guy who sings sometimes, plays the guitar & keyboards, is semi-secretly black, tends to wear a lot of leather, drinks too much and wrote all those songs your new wave older sister and her friends used to dance to in the 80's & 90's.

Well, well, Don Garber refers to more journalists turning out for the All-Star events this year than ever before (over 300 credentialed). I, of course, am at home. Most of all, I'm sad I missed out on so much free food. (Last year's ESPN-hosted party had a chocolate fountain and three kinds of free beer). Click to continue reading...
