With David Beckham already going on loan to AC Milan, and Landon Donovan's loan to Bayern Munich being finalized, you can apparently add Cuauhtemoc Blanco to the list of MLS stars making short-term moves this winter.
According to multiple reports surfacing on Thursday, the Chicago Fire will loan out Blanco to Mexican side Santos Laguna.
]]>Both teams come in on strong end-of-season runs, though the Crew come in sporting the league's best record.
]]>So who is the most wanted man in Major League Soccer? No, this isn't a David Beckham joke. The answer, it turns out, is Kansas City Wizards technical director Peter Vermes. Less than a month after turning down an offer to become general manager of the Los Angeles Galaxy, now comes word that he has turned down an MLS head coaching job.
]]>Houston is rolling these days, posting a 5-1 record in its past six matches. The Dynamo will be missing several players due to international duty, including Dwayne DeRosario, Pat Onstad and Ricardo Clark.
]]>One team is in desperate need of some offensive help while the other team might just be raising the white flag.
That's one way to look at the Colorado Rapids trading of forward Herculez Gomez to Kansas City for allocation money and draft picks (4th rounder and 1st round supplemental in '09).
]]>A scoreless draw had to be expected when the Wizards and Fire took the field on Sunday. Aside from the sweltering heat, neither team was going to be taking many chances in this key Eastern Conference clash. The tie leaves Chicago chasing New England and Columbus atop the East and leaves KC trailing the playoff pack.
]]>Good morning all. The end of a very busy and news-filled week is upon us and as we wind down toward Saturday's MLS schedule (and David Beckham's return to the New York area), it is time to catch up on some news and notes from the soccer world.
]]>Tony Beltran is a rookie having himself a pretty good first season in MLS but he had to endure a fate that so many defenders have to endure, the cursed game-losing own goal.
Beltran's mistake snapped Real Salt Lake's record-setting unbeaten streak at five games while also giving new life to a Wizards team desperate for a win after going more than two months without one.

]]>The Kansas City Wizards may have found the cure for their terrible offense, or at least they hope so.
The Wizards have signed Josh Wolff, who makes his return to MLS after spending two seasons with German club 1860 Munich.

]]>It wasn't pretty, and fans probably didn't leave Rice-Eccles excited about a match they'll remember for a long time, but the result was a fair one for two teams struggling to find consistency and keep pace with the league's better teams.

]]>That streak was pushed to 12 courtesy of a stunning late equalizer from rookie Danleigh Borman, whose stumbling goal tumble is looking less absurd and more like the dance of a kid with real potential.
]]>Danleigh Borman scored a stunning 81st minute goal to help a short-handed Red Bulls squad salvage a 1-1 draw against the Kansas City Wizards on Saturday night at Giants Stadium.
]]>Yes, that still sounds strange to say but few signs point to it being a fluke.
]]>Is this really the same team that started the season so poorly? The easy answer is no, not with newcomers Guevara, Laurent Robert and Rohan Ricketts turning the Toronto midfield into one of the best in MLS.

]]>Fire fans will curse Chad Barrett and Jon Busch, while Wizards fans will thank Jack Jewsbury and Kevin Hartman.
]]>The Fire comes in at 2-0-1 while the Wizards enter at 2-1-1 after starting unbeaten at 2-0.

]]>One point from two home games last week was enough to put a damper on the talk of the Wizards being this year's surprise MLS team (Colorado has stolen that moniker for now), but the Wizards did show some improvements defensively and some promise that the quick start to the season wasn't a mirage.
]]>With Pat Onstad, Eddie Robinson and Stuart Holden all doubts, Houston will need a special effort to hand the Wizards a second-straight defeat.
]]>So pardon Wizards fans for gloating a bit.
]]>Both teams scored shutout victories at home and now the Wizards play host to the Rapids with a chance to jump out in front of the pack in the Eastern Conference.
]]>When the most attractive streaker in U.S. soccer history left the field at Raymond James Stadium dressed in bra, panties and American flag, there were plenty of questions going through the minds of U.
