The Surge is Working

0
In Week 27 of Major League Soccer, FC Dallas' wild season continued Sunday with a 3-0 win against visiting DC United. Goals from Andre Rocha, Jeff Cunningham and Kenny Cooper gave Dallas one of its more complete victories of the year. With the playoffs looming, the Hoops are finding their form at the perfect time and resurging as a force to be reckoned with in Major League Soccer. Click to continue reading...

Who is your MLS Player of the Month?

1

Photo by ISIphotos.com

With the MLS schedule for September now over, it is time for members of the media to submit their votes for MLS player of the month.

The only problem is that this month, perhaps more than any other month this season, picking the best player for the month is very difficult because there isn't an obvious choice.

MLS game #26: DCU @ FC Dallas

0

United is in Dallas today for its second match against their Western Conference foes in just over two weeks. With a win, the team would leapfrog the fourth place New York Red Bulls who fell to Colorado last night 5-4. Following this afternoon's game, the team will return home to D.C. and - once again - turn its focus back to CONCACAF Champions League for a Wednesday evening match with Mexico's Cruz Azul.

FC Dallas has a new blogger

1

Just like Jeff Cunningham's career the FC Dallas blog has been resurrected.

I'm Louis, a 21 year old college student who loves the beautiful game. I like to watch a little bit of everything but my favorite is MLS and the US National Team. I'm thrilled to be writing for The Offside and will be bringing you the latest Hoops news, fiery opinions, and general nonsense for seasons to come.

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...

Alive and Kicking

Desperately needing a win on the road Sunday afternoon at Chicago, FC Dallas put together a comprehensive victory against the Fire. Two goals from Jeff Cunningham along with goals from Aaron Pitchkolan and Bruno Guarda gave FC Dallas a crucial 4-1 win that keeps the Red Stripes in the hunt for an MLS playoff berth.

Monday Night Football: Mexican National Team Autograph Session & More

Spent the day columnizing for Tuesday's newspaper about the most popular national team in Southern California - Mexico - which plays an 8 p.m. Wednesday exhibition at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum against Chile.

Fans who want to get an autograph or two from Mexican National Team stars should show up at the adidas Sports Performance store Tuesday on Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica.

Monday's dispatch: U.S. players in head-scratcher

0

Everton drew, Forest drew and Landon Donovan demolished D.C. But the weird one was over in England, where Reading got a goal even though the ball went well wide. Manager Steve Coppell has offered to replay the game; U.S. keeper Marcus Hahnemann isn't so sure. (BBC)

And a milestone on the U.

Trade Grades: The Best and Worst From 2008

5
The past couple of days got me thinking, this year we've seen so many trades between the clubs. Some moves have paid off and others have been more of a waste than anything. I felt like today was a good day to look back at the moves that have paid off and the moves that [...] Click to continue reading...

Who Are These Guys?

3

As I'm sure you've noticed, the promises I delivered about contributing regular articles and even live blogs during my time in Germany were as empty as...well as a net after Cunningham has had a breakaway. The live blogs were not possible for various reasons:

Colorado: I couldn't get a consistent feed (just like the TFC strikers, but thankfully one of them buried a deadly set piece)

New York: I was on an 8 hour train ride home from Freiburg, where I watched the season opener of my other team, 1860 Munich.

MLS: After the makeovers

2

Twenty-one games down, nine to go. Incoming transfer window closed, though trades and discovery claims can continue through the roster freeze date of Sept. 15.

A few teams are involved in the CONCACAF Champions League, which will complicate their schedules to say the least. Judging by the MLS results in the first leg, some teams may view that competition as more of a nuisance than anything else.

Video: Kickin' It With Allen Hopkins

2
I think I would really love the chance to "kick it" with Allen Hopkins. He seems like an amiable & educated fellow like myself. I'd like to imagine that he and I could sit around a table over high-ball drinks and discuss the intricacies of MLS transfer guidelines, how Robin "Sweet Dick Willy" Harris died before his time, why Jeff Cunningham should have never left Ohio and our favorite social movements of the 60's & 70's.

Mo Johnston’s Conflicted Moves

13
Photo from CBC.ca With yesterday's deal for Carlos Ruiz, Mo Johnston has proven once again he can make a deal to keep his team ahead of the curve or in this case from falling off the curve. Major League Soccer has very few proven consistent goal scoring talents. TFC had one in Jeff Cunningham, but now [. Click to continue reading...

MLS round-up: Week 21

2
A lot of crazy stuff going on around the league. Jeff Cunningham (top left) became the 4th player in league history to get 100 goals, which is one helluva feat for an often maligned player.

Also we saw the debut of Brian McBride (top right) for the Fire. Unfortunately, Chicago might have a racism issue going on. Click to continue reading...

Cunningham Nets His 100th

2
Just a quick update from Columbus. Jeff Cunningham becomes the forth player in MLS history to score 100 goals. His goal came in the 35th minute thanks to a shifty pass from Adrian Serioux. His 100th goal was also the first time he scored against Columbus Crew, his first goal against his former club. Cunningham joins [. Click to continue reading...

TRADE: Jeff Cunningham to FC Dallas (OFFICIAL)

Sometimes we at MLSR get a kernel of info that turns out to be correct.

This trade is now official.

"Toronto FC have acquired a third round 2009 MLS SuperDraft pick from FC Dallas. In return, Dallas receives forward Jeff Cunningham.

What is the 4th highest goal scorerer in league history worth?

0

Jeff Cunningham has 99 career MLS goals which has him at 4th on the all time league history goal scoring charts. Cunningham is currently 31 years old. How much is a player with those stats worth?

Toronto FC aparently thinks that is worth a 3rd round draft pick in next year's draft. That is what they received in a trade that sent Cunningham to FC Dallas.

Cunningham Shipped to Dallas

0
With big striker Danny Dichio set to return to the lineup from injury and the recent acquisition of Chad Barrett, Toronto FC has deemed Jeff Cunningham expendable to the club's needs, trading the 11-year veteran to FC Dallas. The deal, announced yesterday, mercifully ends his tumultuous 15-month spell with the club, with TFC settling for just a third-round pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft in exchange.

Dallas Trades For Cunningham

Crazy couple of hours here but I did just some confirmation that FC Dallas has traded for striker Jeff Cunningham from Toronto FC in exchange for a third round pick in next year's SuperDraft.

Cunningham traded to Dallas, a day long awaited...

There will be a toast tonight in Mistake Land. Jeff Cunningham has been traded from Toronto to FC Dallas. TFC gets a third round pick in the draft in return. It is not the return that makes this trade. JC is no longer on the field, no longer on the payroll and no longer in my nightmares.
Cheers. Click to continue reading...

Where Will Cunningham Go?

This is starting to be a bit of a saga here, the funky relationship between Toronto FC manager John Carver and striker Jeff Cunningham. I've been saying for months really that Cunningham would be on his way out and it appears that way. Lots of talk around the league right now about where exactly Toronto will [.

TRADE: Jeff Cunningham to FC Dallas

No word on what Toronto FC is getting in return but we have received multiple reports that this trade has gone down. We hope to have more on it later on as details emerge. Advice to Cunningham, "Don't Look Back"

Small atomic device goes off at BMO field, referee shields self with red cards

FC Dallas 2 - TFC 0



This game could be the turning point in the season. Many of the bad things about TFC were on display today, including frustration and violent temper (which in this case go hand in hand). Don't get me wrong, there was lots of good on display, just that it was overshadowed by what happened in the second half. Click to continue reading...

I'm Sorry...

that was just plain bad tonight. The Wizards facing another undermanned team (as many as 8 starters missing) and lay a complete egg in DC losing 2-0. The first shut out of the season for Zach Wells and DC United. Yet again, the Wizards offense looked anemic, refusing to take shots until it was too late and then putting them wide or straight at the keeper. Click to continue reading...

Star Looks at Open Roster Spot

A little over a week ago, I wrote about a couple options that the Wizards had inside the league in regards to using their recently acquired allocation money to get another striker. One of those is off the table, as Chad Barrett is now in Toronto for the rights to Brian McBride. That does still leave two of my potential trades on the table. Click to continue reading...

All The Bull: Cunningham trade?

4

- Would Jeff Cunningham be the cure for our goal scoring needs up top? Would he be a good fit with Angel's game? If you are day dreaming, not so fast. Cunningham's baggage has ruled him out of the Red Bulls plans, so says King Blogger Ives. A Cunningham signing, especially in light of TFC's current scoring woes, would have been a grasp of desperation by the organization.

Red Bulls Say No To Cunningham

A few clubs out there are in need of attacking options as we head into the stretch run but one club decided today to pass on one of the all-time scoring leaders in Major League Soccer.

RSL PREGAME

Here we go again, as the cursed month of July continues: Tonight, TFC takes the field against the woeful Western Conference leading Real Salt Lake. It comes as a surprise that Salt Lake are no longer bottom feeders, as they have been throughout their history, but coming in at 6-6-6, they are not world-beaters either.
