Video: The ESPN Playoff Week 2 Playoff Preview

The Offside Rules @ 09:33 AM EST
His Ginger Majesty, Stoner and J Fo preview this weekend's MLS playoff matches from the ESPN mothership in Bristol, CT. Now that Columbus has been knocked off it really seems likes it's anyone's game and anything can happen at this point.

The Offside Rules @ 09:42 AM EST
Real Salt Lake are in Ohio and attempting to maintain the upper hand on Columbus when they get it poppin' at Crew Stadium tonight (ESPN2, 8pm EST).

If You Can't Win 'Em, Buy 'Em: A Post That Is Surprisingly Not About Corruption In Sport

The Offside Rules @ 05:28 PM EST
Some pretty damned lucky Fire fans recently got their grubby little hands on the shirts right off of the players backs (with autographs even). But we can't all be so lucky so you what they say: if you can't win 'em, bid on 'em. Click to continue reading...

Lethal Bizzle, Rio Ferdinand, A Barber and a Bottle of Cristal

The Offside Rules @ 01:42 PM EST
Y'all mess with Lethal Bizzle? He's kinda nice in that Dizzee Rascal/Akala/Wiley U.K. Hip Hop-Grime way. If you have the inclination check out the video for his re-rub of The Clash's cover of Eddie Grant's "Police on my Back". And if you have the time see what he has to say about how he met footie star/film producer/publisher/cornrow enthusiast Rio Ferdinand. Click to continue reading...

The Metro/Red Bulls Giants Stadium Best-Of Mixtape

The Offside Rules @ 04:55 PM EST
For as bad a stadium as The Swamp could be, Giants Stadium was the backdrop for a few of the most outlandish goals you'll ever see. Mathis' marathon goal against Dallas, Woly's infamous upper 90 banger, and Youri Djorkaeff and Juan Pablo Angel's zero-angle game-winners were all set in that soccer purgatory in East Rutherford.

Your "Signs of the Footie New Media Apocalypse" Update

The Offside Rules @ 03:00 PM EST
If you follow this blog with any regularity you know that unlike most soccer blogs, English people who are not under the employ of the LA Galaxy are a sighting as rare as goals by goalies. But when someone like Sunderland's Darren Bent decides get custom boots branded with his Twitter handle and Twitter logo it's kind of special. Click to continue reading...

MLS Final Kick: Playoff Leg 1 Edition

The Offside Rules @ 01:28 PM EST
Rejoice fanatics, rejoice! I thought ESPN might forget about us once the postseason came about but I guessed wrong. Which is a good thing because that means that we get more of the most attractive MLS highlights package around. I still think this would be amazing on ESPN2HD, you know on actual TV, but I guess we'll all just have to be patient little soccer-monks for a while longer before we get that kind of clout.
