San Jose v New England preview
By Melissa | May 14th, 2008Ok everybody, I think it's time to finally admit that after last weekend's game, we've hit rock bottom. And I can even say we hit it both literally and figuratively because our team is in last place and the fans watched the Quakes completely unravel ...
San Jose v Columbus preview
By Melissa | May 8th, 2008Ok guys. I had a fantastic preview post saved in my drafts, but wordpress decided to swallow it instead. Now I'm starting from scratch again. Here's the deal. Not only am I a complete luddite when it comes to crap like “User UI” and “WYSYWI ...
San Jose v Dallas preview
By Melissa | May 1st, 2008Finally, the Buck Shaw home game is here. Finally, there's a reason for me to go to San Jose that doesn't involve sitting in a data center for hours on end. Finally, the weather has cooled down enough for me to rock a neon blue wig at this thing. ...
Quick Preview
By Corey | April 25th, 2008I found a little time between my class and my pickup game to write a quick preview for you. Squad lists are not out yet, because everyone takes their time in Spain, so I will have to do without that. But here we go! Real Madrid vs. Atheltic Bilbao ...
San Jose v New York preview
By Melissa | April 22nd, 2008I'm leaving town this weekend so you get the preview a bit early. And what's in store for us against the Red Bulls? We beat them once in pre-season and then we lost our mojo. But we got it back on Saturday against Colorado so I'm crossing my finge ...
Wizards look to put out the Fire, gain first place
By travis | April 20th, 2008Let's here it for lame, clichéd headlines! Nothing better than talking about dousing the opposition, especially when they are so cleverly named. What's neat about the game aside from that is the battle for first place. It is early in the season, but ...
San Jose v Colorado preview
By Melissa | April 17th, 2008A couple of stiff drinks at the bar on Saturday and this game will be like buttah. The MLS scheduling daemons couldn't be more cruel this time around. We're up against the current Western Conference champions and our new offensive help won't be ava ...

Island Hopping
By Corey | April 3rd, 2008In what was the beginning of our plunge into mediocre form, we take on Mallorca at the Oni Estadi this Saturday at 4pm. If you remember, the last time we visited the island, we were handed a shockingly bad loss by Mallorca, the only bright spot b ...
Game 1: at Real Salt Lake (preview)
By Sean | March 29th, 2008There’s a certain amount of disingenuity in writing a game preview for two teams one hasn’t seen play. One of the advantages of blogs, though, is that I can just note it and then move on to purely subjective opining, without trying to pretend I ...

Visiting The Cucumbers
By Corey | February 14th, 2008Real travels to Seville to visit the green and white side of town for what should be a good test of their mettle. Its a good warmup for the game in Rome in midweek, but more importantly, we want to keep our lead on Barca as wide as we can. We go into
Entertaining Villarreal
By Corey | January 24th, 2008Its funny, because when you consider that Villarreal has no real home, such a neighborhood does not even exist, you think to yourself, well arent they always playing away? Anyways, they are our opponents in the march towards another league title. I re

Copa del Rey Preview
By Corey | January 15th, 2008Real are down a goal to Mallorca in the Kings Cup, but once again are sparred having to contain Dani Guiza who did not make the trip for the islanders. Schuster's patched up back four will be praying to whatever statue they have in their house. Its almost

Zaragoza Comes to Town
By Corey | January 5th, 2008Here is the fixture list for the next two months, which Gonzalo pointed out is looking very crowded. I said back in November that December was a make or break month for the team, and they steered through it virtually unscathed. We were able to beat Barca,

Minus Lucarelli and Toni but Plus an Ozzie
By Gianni | September 29th, 2007Well, I hope you weren't disappointed at the fact that I didn't post a Fiorentina-Roma recap. Personally, I thought there was such an inordinate amount of coverage surrounding the match: pre, post, and during the match, as a matter of fact, to render
