I was going to write a full post about each team's playoff chances, but its getting close to game time and the three teams left (Toronto, San Jose and LA)... Well, let's just say I don't need to delve too deeply into analysis to discover these teams probably are not going to make it. The Sounders [.. Click to continue reading...

Since I savaged Ladybugs late last week, I thought today I would write about a girls' soccer movie that got it right, Bend It Like Beckham. Unlike Ladybugs, BILB didn't disparage the women's game or feature any cross-dressing (unless you count the fact that Keira Knightley looks like a boy). Writer-Director Gurinder Chadha really did exceptional [. Click to continue reading...

With Euro 2008 in full swing and as lively and dramatic as ever (see Turkey's win over the Czech Republic yesterday), I've barely given the Premiership a second thought since the start of this month.

While over 20,272 braved a cloudy 43F degree day to see Real Salt Lake vs Chicago in Salt Lake City Utah, and 15,553 braved a rainy 40F Chicago win over New England last night, don't expect the MLS schedule to change drastically, at least for a decade.

UPDATE: The Rapids site has the game now listed at 3 pm Mountain time (4 central). Click to continue reading...

Earlier, I posted about how I'd found the reserve team schedule over on US Soccer Data. The Wizards have now released the full schedule. A few of the games are not the same as I'd originally posted. The move of the DC game I'd already mentioned.

Here is the full schedule. Home games are in bold and are played at the Swope Park Training Complex, unless noted. Click to continue reading...

While on bigsoccer today, I found a link to US Soccer Data, where you can click on game schedule, and enter in the information to find out the Wizards reserve schedule for the upcoming season. It's not up on MLSnet yet though. If this is true, the note I posted recently about the team playing Drake on 3/20 is actually false (Which is weird because I got that news from a Drake player.
