With the MLS schedule for September now over, it is time for members of the media to submit their votes for MLS player of the month.

The only problem is that this month, perhaps more than any other month this season, picking the best player for the month is very difficult because there isn't an obvious choice.

COMPETITIONS: SuperLiga Not Going Away

2008-09-08T19:47:00+00:00

There are currently many discussions of the MLS schedule, fixture congestion and other issues regarding the calendar.

Many pundits and people who looked closely at the MLS schedule seem to come to a hasty conclusion: "Well they could just get rid of SuperLiga. After all, the CONCACAF Champions League serves the same purpose.

What to do with the 2009 MLS Schedule

2008-09-08T18:23:32+00:00

I see that Garber and the gang over at MLS are finally going act on the continued shambles that is the MLS schedule as it relates to international competition, both club and country. I don't really like the idea of the split schedule, though I see its merits, especially with the Gold and Confederations Cup [.

MLS Looking Into 2009 Schedule

2008-09-08T18:15:31+00:00

Call it the snooze button that was hit 20 times before finally waking up. Major League Soccer heard the cries for help in lightening the load in their schedule before - and before that - and now its coming down to this. The league finally realized that they need to look into their 2009 schedule [...]

REPORT: MLS Board of Governors to Discuss Apertura/Clausura Schedule and Single Table at Upcoming Meeting.

2008-09-08T16:04:00+00:00

Many people from Toronto FC's John Carver and the club's fans have complained about the MLS schedule not breaking for FIFA international dates to DC United, Houston Dynam, CD Chivas USA and New England Revolution fans complaining about fixture congestion all have a bone to pick with MLS over the schedule.

League Denies Toronto Petition

2008-09-05T23:12:38+00:00

Talk about some bad times in Toronto right now. They will be missing nine players tomorrow to international duty and are looking to sign players to one-day contracts to fill their roster. In the mean time they did petition to Major League Soccer to re-schedule tomorrow's game with Chivas USA to another date.

John Carver is looking for some soccer players, any soccer players.

In a story widely-reported in Canada, Carver's Toronto FC will have to take on Chivas USA on Saturday missing nine players due to international duty.

Garber Address Scheduling Situation

2008-08-29T23:22:04+00:00

We've heard the complaints all week, and rather all year, about the congested MLS schedule. Today in his blog, MLS Commissioner Don Garber addressed that very issue. He like many of us were upset to see a showcase game last week with LA and Chicago lose its luster over the amount of players called into [.

Midweek Preview: SuperLiga Clubs Clash

2008-08-20T20:55:04+00:00

I guess the monkey wrench in the 2008 MLS schedule was this week. We all knew these four clubs would be in SuperLiga and that their summer schedule would be a little funky. Well, this is the week they try to catch up with the rest of the league in terms of games played in [...]

Week 18 Spotlight

2008-07-30T01:54:00+00:00

Technically, Monday's RSL-Toronto match was in Week 19 of the MLS schedule, but that doesn't really make sense. Playing a Monday night match doesn't make sense either but that's what went down in Utah last night.

Anyway, that caused a minor ripple effect out here as we waited for the fifth of five matches in a two-day span to be played out before handing out or weekly kudos.

Monday Ticker: Chelsea deny Kaka bid, Makelele to PSG and the Olympic call-up mess

2008-07-21T12:57:32+00:00

It was an interesting weekend in the soccer world to say the least.

From the New England Revolution's flight to remember, to the big fan brawl at the Columbus Crew-West Ham friendly, there was plenty of off-field activity to talk about. Fortunately, there was also some on-field stuff to talk about as well, including the completion of SuperLiga group play and the MLS schedule, which finished with five ties (yes, all five games this week finished tied).

MLS Matchday: Week 17

2008-07-19T18:30:19+00:00

Good afternoon all. Today is a relatively light schedule as four teams continue their SuperLiga exploits. That doesn't mean there still aren't some entertaining match-ups on the slate.

David Beckham's return to New York leads the way as the golden one plays in front of a packed Giants Stadium today.

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.

MLS Weekend Roundup: Video Style

2008-07-14T14:00:21+00:00

This week's MLS schedule was small due to the participation of DC, New England, Chivas, and Houston. Saturday featured three games and I'm bringing you all of the action. I'm on vacation right now in Rhode Island and if anyone wants to do a few guest posts, please contact me. My email is max.z@comcast.

Tony's Take: Standings clarification

2008-07-07T21:30:06+00:00

Tony Limarzi, the Radio Voice of D.C. United, provides live match commentary for all D.C. United games on WFED 1050 AM. He recently published his first book,Forza Italia, which is the story of the summer of 2006 both Italy's World Cup win in Germany and United's MLS season.

Praise for Peers. Oh, and the CONCACAF Champions Cup Schedule

2008-02-25T23:47:39+00:00

I don't have anything to say, at least at this time, about the schedule for the CONCACAF Champions Cup, which was released today...or thereabouts. No, I just want to thank Mike H from My Soccer Blog for visiting the official sites, reading the god-awful press releases, and posting them in a nice, easy-to-read, even [.

Changes to the U.S. Open Cup…Good Ones

2008-02-18T20:03:54+00:00

Steve Goff, that sly dog from the Soccer Insider, sneaked the following into his Presidents' Day review of soccer news (and it occurs to me, only now, that this could be why things seem so damned quiet today): "*The U.S. Open Cup schedule is much more compact this year. Pending USSF approval, the round of 16 [.

Schedule Extrapolation (Incomplete, Based on the Crew’s)

2008-02-05T20:49:25+00:00

This morning, Shawn Mitchell, of Columbus Dispatch and Covering the Crew fame, posted a leaked 2008 home schedule for the Columbus Crew. This schedule is, as he notes, tentative - as in, we may see something different on Thursday (though he doesn't see why we would) - but that doesn't mean we can't learn [.

The “Penultimate” Weekend and the Short Road Ahead

2007-10-15T02:18:27+00:00

I got so wired into the whole 30-week season concept that I fully expected two more weeks of Major League Soccer (MLS), but, in reality, next weekend is the end of the line. And Week 28's results, a parade of the unsurprisingly surprising, left a couple teams all over the league twisting in the proverbial [...]

DS, 10.11: Chivas Notes; Single Table Rumors; It’s Gotta Be St. Louie + More

2007-10-11T19:38:56+00:00

There's so much good stuff out there today...let's just say I had to cut more than I wanted up to and including those Seattle announcement rumors (crap...there it is; for the record, I don't buy them). Moving on... - A half-mysterious injury to Maykel Galindo makes for one of the less-reported items coming out [...]

MLS: Week of Good, Week of Evil and the Schedule Ahead

2007-10-08T17:24:26+00:00

The part of Week 27 that mattered ended with Los Angeles rolling to another win (psst...Colorado beat Toronto...no, I don't care either). That damnable pack of revenants keeps shuffling and scratching on some unholy quest to, once again, mock the regular season. If a simple demonstration of the stupidity of it all WAS the mission, [...]

MLS: Remaining Schedules and, Yes, Calling the Final

2007-10-01T17:20:28+00:00

Well, this is swell. Ian Plenderleith's Major League Soccer Week 26 review touches on all the points I intended to make, so I'll just rip off large portions of his work and enjoy the morning cuppa. Not only did he provide righteous coverage of everything down to the Rico Clark incident (I posted on this [...]

MLS: Remaining Schedules, Updated and Analyzed (or, Rather, Pondered)

2007-09-17T22:10:22+00:00

Ya know...since posting this last week, it occurs to me this would pretty easy to update. And, to think, I used to come across things like this on BigSoccer and whisper to myself, "holy shit, dude, get a life." Now I'm that dude with no life it doesn't feel so bad - and it's a [...]

MLS: Every Teams’ Remaining Schedule + Analysis (because I like you and hate me)

2007-09-11T23:16:32+00:00

Not to go all nelly on all y'all - though I can do that from time to time - Fire_Juve10 acted as my muse for today. After reading (and saying nice things about...yay!) my post on last weekend's Chicago v. Columbus, he listed Chicago's upcoming games. Prior to seeing those, I would have listed Chicago [...]
