The MLSnet Saga Again. (I Just Want What I Paid For!!)
By Laurie | March 13th, 2007Can you stand one more chapter in the saga of me trying to get MLS to let me watch the 2006 games? I am SO flipping frustrated! The last time I wrote about this, I'd sent two e-mails (which had both gone unanswered) and spent time on the helpline with

SEE LATER DOM!
By Nando | March 1st, 2007D.C. United waives Domenic Mediate. I am assuming the injury to his leg last year has alot to do with this decision, another reason to dislike the Galaxitives. He seemed to be getting in stride last year and now the mid-field is even thinner!
Championship Star Bloke May Join David in City of Angels
By Nick | February 28th, 2007
I wonder if this guy's wife will get her own reality show if he joins the Great David Beckham at the Galaxy? Nah, me neither. But I'm sure it would be a nice move for Darren Currie to be David's British mate in California - as long as Beck's picks up

Showing the numbers; Finding a meaning
By Sabin | February 16th, 2007To put a short point on things, I like soccer for two reasons: the philosophy and the analysis. In truth, it's the analysis that leads to philosophy (or is it the other way 'round?). At any rate, today it's about the analysis. I went back and tracked the

By Martha | February 13th, 2007

Everybody Needs Their Own American Billionaire
By Trent | February 9th, 2007It's all the rage! Apparently big clubs in the English Premier League need Yankee white knights to swoop in and save themselves from, um, not being Yank-owned. Or something. With Randy Lerner buying Aston Villa, and George Gillett Jr. and Tom Hicks s
An Arsenal By Any Other Name
By Trent | February 7th, 2007Apparently an MLS team--the Colorado Rapids--may be changing its name to Colorado Arsenal. Pretty weak. I just hope no one confuses them with the Arsenal squad... in the Ukraine... or in Argentina... or in Ghana... or in Honduras...

By Martha | January 13th, 2007Just when you thought there wasn't a single good reason for the LA Galaxy and MLS to invest $250 million in a hard-working, tabloid magnet whose best days are behind him, the Italian press have come up with a great one: To save both Becks and Adriano Gall

Figo to MLS Again -- But to the Wrong Damn Team
By Martha | November 16th, 2006Last week I mentioned the ever-present rumor about my beloved Figo possibly heading to MLS, assuming it was just more empty transfer blathering. But now that the so-called Beckham Rule has been passed by the MLS powers that be, that story seems to be turn
Adu May Indeed Swap One United for Another
By Nick | November 10th, 2006Will United send this Airbus A320 to pick up Adu in DC? Probably not! But however Adu makes it to Manchester - an impressive trial with United could lead to a permanent stay in the North of England. My own take is that such a move would be very good f

How to Fix the US Open Cup and Cure Cancer
By Bob | August 17th, 2006We're never afraid to shy away from a verbal showdown or a three-ring circus so the idea of a blogging carnival certainly appeals to both the left and right side of our post-lobotomy brain. The topic for this week's virtual dialogue is the US Open Cup.
