Here are some photos of L.A. Galaxy superstar, David Beckham, training with the team at the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles on October 24th. Even with the recent buzz about him playing for AC Milan during the winter, Becks looks perfectly at ease. More pics after the jump! Click to continue reading...

From time to time, FC Dallas holds what they call a "season ticket holder private practice. It's a team practice in the stadium that season ticket holders can come watch. The real benefit is a autograph session afterward with the entire team. Click to continue reading...

No man is an island, with the possible exception of Frank Lampard. We all crave companionship, but I crossed the line in my pursuit of Helen Chamberlain. I sneaked in to the Soccer AM studios and took a few unauthorised photos to publish on my website. I've now been charged with intent to distribute [. Click to continue reading...

The bad news is that Santino Quaranta will not be dressing tonight. The 23-year old suffered some pretty deep bruises on his ankle and shin Saturday night in LA and will be held out this evening. Bummer.

The good news is that the guys are all feeling pretty positive and will be coming out in a slightly more defensive-oriented posture tonight, running at type of 4-4-1-1.

There is still a month to go in the MLS regular season but with two clear front-runners for the MVP award we can start to talking about who might win the award.

How qaunt. It reminds me of the waiting room at the oil change place except it lacks a stack 18 month-old Time & SI magazines. They sure know how to treat thier guests in Honduras, don't they?

Hopefully D.C. United will rise above the less-than-lux treatment and provide MLS with at least one win in CONCACAF Champions League. Click to continue reading...

A day before the friendly match against Chile on Wednesday, Sept. 24, members of the Mexico National Soccer Team visited the adidas Sports Performance store in Santa Monica to sign autographs, meet fans and take pictures. Prior to the autograph signing new El Tri head coach Sven-Goran Eriksson walked the floor and shopped for new Adidas threads. Click to continue reading...

PART 5 Looking over photos back in New York, it's clear that the closest I ever got to being Clint Dempsey was on the golf course (and that probably will end once he puts in some practice). The flare that helped get Clint to where he is today might be lacking at the moment as he [...] Click to continue reading...

Not quite the way the team was hoping to begin the tournament, to say the least. The red card immediately following Saprissa's first goal didn't exactly put United in a good position. The team will now look towards Saturday's game in LA before heading to Honduras to face CD Marathon in its second Champions League match.

The 2008 Southern Derby will be decided next Friday night in Charleston.
With a win or a tie against the Battery on Friday, September 19th, Carolina will retain the Southern Derby Cup for the second straight year. A loss would give Charleston their 3rd title.
Last year, a number of RailHawks supporters made the roadtrip down to Blackbaud Stadium to support our boys and saw Connally Edozien turn in the first hattrick in RailHawks history in route to capturing the Cup. Click to continue reading...

D.C. United players love to read. The shots above are from a recent photo shoot conducted at RFK Stadium for United Reads, one of the signature programs of United for D.C. - the club's non-profit arm. The photos are going to be used for posters, flyers and the like to encourage reading at D.

After playing a bit part in Mexico's 2-1 CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying win over Canada, El Tri hero/villain (depending on whom you ask) Cuauhtémoc Blanco officially hung his international boots. Of course, this can only mean good things for the Chicago Fire, but for me, U.S. v Mexico encounters have lost just a little bit of especias. Click to continue reading...

So who's headed for Kansas City on Saturday to see David Beckham, Landon Donovan, Chris Klein (DeSmet) and Jack Jewsbury (Kickapoo) play? The Wizards have announced a Food Drive in conjunction with the game

I don't know what's goin' on in the Belgian dating scene these days --although I did get lucky the one time I went to Brussels, but that's irrelevant-- but our kid Gooch seems to be doing alright. I got a few inquiries last week when I posted a pic of Onyewu getting his amateur underwear model on, mostly of a "who's that girl? Click to continue reading...

What the heck was up with the image-picking hobgoblins in the dank, rat-infested dungeons of MLS HQ this week? Let's take a look at the photos accompanying a couple of match writeups on MLSNet.com.

I guess he's trying to expand his portfolio in case the transfers all fall through and/or he goes unsigned after his contact's up.

I think he'd be a fitting model for Gucci (get it?). Sigh...

Devon McTavish is a busy fellow.

This afternoon (around 5 p.m.), he'll be on DC radio station Mix 107.3 taking part in a little promo called The Bachelor. Tomorrow, he and teammate Joe Vide will be guestbartending at Jimmy's Old Town Tavern in Herndon, VA to benefit the club's non-profit arm, United for D.

A 3-0 scoreline is pretty good, eh? Some in the press box were calling it the most complete United game of the year and it's tough to disagree. Three goals scored, a shutout and players working for their teammates all over the pitch. Two absolute stunners from Joe Vide and Santino Quaranta and a opportunistic Quavas Kirk gets his first career regular season goal.

Watching the Carolina Railhawks playing the Minnesota Thunder Friday night (beating them 2-1), I was struck by a kind of déjà vu when I saw Minnesota's home jerseys. Notice any similarities?

That grainy picture on the left is a screenshot of the USLlive video feed, because oddly enough, I couldn't find photos anywhere on the web of that Thunder jersey. Click to continue reading...

Watched and blogging my fourth game in 24 hours or so.

Stand back and no one will get hurt.

This was one of those nights when the press conference was more interesting than the actual game.

We had a local lad having a great night, a new famous coach at his first game and Brian McBride back in MLS.
