After yesterday's national election day, there's still another vote of interest to Wizards fans. Technical Director Peter Vermes is nominated for the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame for the third straight year. Vermes has been one of the first former players out of the running in each of the last two years, so he is on voters' minds. Click to continue reading...

This year's list of players up for induction into the US Soccer Hall of Fame is out. And like last year, there is a good number of former Wizards that are up for induction into the US Soccer Hall of Fame. Included in the list is former Wizards great Preki, along with the team's current Technical Director, Peter Vermes. Click to continue reading...

The National Soccer Hall of Fame has added a 2008 U.S. Open Cup display to honor United as the tournament's most recent champion. Luciano Emilio's game-worn and autographed jersey, Fred's game-worn and autographed shoes and the game ball signed by the entire team flanks the Dewar Challenge Trophy with a newly minted 2008 champion's plate.

Yesterday, we launched the newly revamped D.C. United Hall of Tradition. Current members include legends John Harkes and Marco Etcheverry and front office staffer Betty D'Anjollel who was an instrumental part of the club's early years.

This year, the Hall of Tradition will grow by one more, as either Jeff Agoos or Richie Williams will be enshrined.

There's been a lot of hot-air and hysteria since Jamie Carragher's honest admission that he preferred winning with Liverpool above winning with England.

You'd think he'd said he deliberately thought about scoring an own goal for Germany against the national side the way some people have reacted. Click to continue reading...

When it comes to the world of fantasy MLS, the credo of following the winners certainly applies and no team has proven more reliable in the past weeks and months than the Columbus Crew.

Two posts in one day? What the heck?

Well, all I can say for myself besides the usual litany of excuses (work, school, sleep, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2) is that I've been inspired. Yes. By what, you ask (or may want to ask)?

Well, ask one of my readers (not that there are many), friends, family, and professors, and they will tell you the same thing about me(besides the fact that I drink too much caffeine): Jeez, that dude likes to write. Click to continue reading...

It's not often you get to hear a different voice than mine in this space, but a soccer fan I know asked for the floor, and I thought he had a good take on the topic of the National Soccer Hall of Fame (something I've written about before). Dave Wasser is one of the good [...] Click to continue reading...

*Ringing Endorsement Hall of Fame*: LA Galaxy GM Panyotis Lalas on newly acquired defender Eduardo... Click to continue reading...

There really isn't anything to write about today. Seriously there is almost no news. I should have saved my report on Toure's malaria until today just so I had something to write. I guess there is a little bit of good news, in that Eduardo will be back to watch the Emirates Cup. He's still rehabbing in Brazil but he is on schedule for his recovery and everything appears to be going well. Click to continue reading...

Back in May I had the pleasure of going to Wembley Stadium and seeing England play against the U.S., which of course ended in a 2 - 0 victory for England. Sitting their at Wembley and knowing how important it is to the English players and fans to go and see their national team play at this magnificent stadium it made me think about the disadvantage that the U.

Preki was the closest of numerous former Wizards players up for election to the US Soccer Hall of Fame this year. Candidates need to be named on at least 75% of the 128 ballots to be elected to the Hall. Preki was named on 87 of them (68%). He was the highest finishing player along with Joy Fawcett.

It might take a miracle for Joe-Max Moore to make the list of inductees for this year's National Soccer Hall of Fame enshrinement.

Although he gained an impressive 48.2% of the vote during his first year on the ballot, Moore will be hard-pressed to make the cut this year. Stacked against fellow repeat nominees Marco Etcheverry and Carlos Valderrama and newcomers Preki and Ernie Stewart, Moore will likely have to wait at least another year before becoming the second Revolution player to be fitted for a scarlet jacket (Alexi Lalas being the first in 2006).

Some quick news on 2 former Wizards coaches. The first is that Bob Gansler, the Wizards coach for all 3 of their trophies (2000 MLS Cup, 2000 Supporter's Shield, 2004 USOC), is up for induction into the US Soccer Hall of Fame. Gansler is on the Builders Ballot. He joins 8 other former Wizards on in their attempts to be elected to the hall of fame (Brian Bliss, Mike Burns, Mark Chung, Frank Klopas, Roy Lassiter, Preki, Mike Sorber, and Peter Vermes).

Wizards great, Preki, is up for induction into the US Soccer Hall of Fame this year. Preki is one of the leaders of this years new class, that includes Earnie Stewart and Jeff Agoos. Is Preki worthy of the hall of fame? In MLS terms most definitely. He's the first player to win 2 MVP awards (1997 and 2003) in both seasons, he led the league in scoring.

Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp was voted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame ahead of Sir Trevor Brooking, Ray Clemence, Paul Scholes, Len Shackleton and Ray Wilson. Bergkamp is now the fifth Arsenal player to be included in the hall of fame, after Alex James, Tony Adams, Liam Brady and Ian Wright. Like Wright, Bergkamp may well be remembered for his large goal tally - 87 goals in Click to continue reading...
