WVHooligan.com Blatantly Plagiarizes Other Soccer Blogs

27
My Superdraft 2009 preview post has been blatantly ripped off by WVhooligan and its author, Drew Epperley. I also discovered did the exact same thing one month ago when I previously updated it, and also last year for my 2008 preview. And it turns out that I'm not the only site he's been ripping off. Just look:

2009 SuperDraft Projected Order

64
Its been a long while since I updated this projected order, mainly because I knew there would be a slew of trades that would come down to shake up this order. And let's be honest, we've seen plenty of deals this year that included draft picks. With Monday's trade deadline looming, I figured we could bring [. Click to continue reading...

Trade Deadline Looming

4
One thing that may be sneaking up on everyone is next Monday's trade deadline. Yup, Major League Soccer is just like every other American sports league by having a trade deadline. The big question is who is left to be traded at this point? - New York is looking for a striker within the league. We've known [. Click to continue reading...

X Gs

The Galaxy has always had a history of former players doing damage in the league. Before, I couldn't figure out if it was bad scouting that led to the release of so many players that did well elsewhere or perhaps just the natural consequence of trades, or maybe just roster limitations that did not allow the Galaxy to keep all of their players.

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...

After the sale of Jozy Altidore to Spain, New York Red Bulls coach Juan Carlos Osorio has been shopping around the world for a replacement striker.

The Fire get a pair of draft picks in return, a forth round pick in next year's SuperDraft and a second round pick in the 2011 draft. What do you all make of [...] Click to continue reading...

Johnson Headed To RSL?

2
We all know of Canadian striker Will Johnson and his return to Major League Soccer. But the biggest question would be, where would he end up? Now it looks as though one club has emerged as the front-runner to land Johnson from his former club Chicago. Real Salt Lake is that club. No word on what [... Click to continue reading...

Toronto Trades For Ruiz

3
Well crap, no more than two second after I hit save on the last post about Toronto FC releasing Laurent Robert to possibly make room for Carlos Ruiz, I get an update saying that Ruiz has been shipped off to Toronto. Yep, the LA Galaxy have traded Carlos Ruiz to Toronto FC, according to SBI. Details [. Click to continue reading...

Reds Release Robert, Ruiz Coming Soon?

3
Sounds to me like Toronto FC is in the Carlos Ruiz sweepstakes after all here. Today they announced the release of midfielder Laurent Robert. Robert started in 16 of 17 games scoring one goal and adding three assists. Kinda of a surprise release to me. I'm not sure if it was a personal kind of decision on [. Click to continue reading...

Johnson Signing With MLS

Former Chicago Fire striker and Canadian National team member Will Johnson has resigned with Major League Soccer according to SBI.

Mathis Deal Complete

5
In case you haven't seen the news, the Clint Mathis deal to Real Salt Lake is now complete. RSL acquired the MLS rights to Mathis from the LA Galaxy in exchange for a conditional fourth round pick in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. Some like this move, some don't. I'm sort of inbetween here on it. I [...] Click to continue reading...

Ruiz Still On Trading Block

2
Surprise, surprise...the LA Galaxy are still shopping Guatemalan striker Carlos Ruiz. The main reason why The Fish is back on the trading block (was he really ever off?) is due to LA's desire to claim Eddie Lewis through the allocation system. They would need to free up some space and dump Ruiz as we all [. Click to continue reading...

The Los Angeles Galaxy needs money. No, not actual cash (they have sold enough David Beckham jerseys not to need actual cash). What LA needs is allocation money and salary cap space (despite what the Bottomless Galaxy Salary Cap jokes suggest).

Mathis To RSL Update

It appears a deal is very close to being reached between Real Salt Lake and Clint Mathis. All the club has to do is get all the paperwork done and finalize a deal with Mathis's rights holder, Los Angeles. I'm being told now that the Galaxy will trade Mathis's rights to RSL for either a third [...] Click to continue reading...

My Thoughts On The Galaxy Mess

4
What a mess huh? Most of you know my position about Alexi Lalas. Solid player in his prime, terrible in suit in the front office. I've been that way from the beginning with Lalas and to a lesser degree with Ruud Gullit. Today as we all know both have left the Galaxy either on their own accord [...] Click to continue reading...

I suppose it is never too early to start looking ahead to next January's SuperDraft. I've started compiling a list of what should be the projected order in that draft.

Just a couple new moves to mention on this list. I will try to get this updated as much as I can before the transfer window closes here in the coming days (August 15 I believe).

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 [.

Pat Noonan signed by Columbus

MLS announced today that Pat Noonan was signed to New England and traded to Columbus.  From MLSNet.com:   "At this point he's probably more inclined to play wide midfield for us while Robbie and Ekpo are gone," [Sigi] said.
