MLS Power Rankings (03/22): Another season will soon begin (or so I hope, since I am writing this post on March 13, 2010). That means multitudes of MLS fans and soccer journalists will be proffering up their power rankings. Now, these rankings don't mean a damn thing, but they are still fun to concoct so we can gauge how well we know the league and its teams.

The new college soccer season is starting, and here's a list of many of the top seniors. This was put together from looking at last season's awards, this year's preseason all-americans, and other various lists. Let me know what you guys think. I don't watch much college soccer, so I could easily be leaving somebody good off.

Disregard the question in the title because we know that ain't gonna happen. I know that there has been talk lately about Johnson and Adu making a last ditch effort to impress Bobby Blue Eyes before the May camp but c'mon now, it ain't happenin'. Let's just let it go.
Regardless, the Yank duo did it right today in Greece with the GAM scoring a brace with The Biggest Midget in the Game™ providing an assist.

The January transfer window for European club teams has already seen two Americans switch clubs, at least for the time being, and surprise surprise... they're going to the same team. Just when you thought you couldn't make heads or tails of... Read more

Freddy Adu's professional playing future is once again up in the air, and his next club destination is unknown.

What is clear is that he won't be joining Swiss club Sion. After a short trial this week, the team decided that it would pass on the chance to add the 21-year-old.

Did American Eddie Johnson really score a late goal for Greek side Aris Salonika on Sunday? Did Freddy Adu really notch the assist? Am I comfortable continuing to use horrible Greek-related headlines for every blog post about these two for as... Read more

Aris' American duo of Eddie Johnson and Freddy and Adu look to get more playing time at home on Saturday against the Super League's weakest team in Panthrakikos.

In this monthly segment, we attempt to answer the question, "Who should we take to South Africa?" Rather than taking the standard approach (doing our best to guess who Bob will take to South Africa), we focus on who we think Bradley should take.

It's astonishing how much one game a friendly at the end of a four-year cycle, no less made us re-think our final roster of 23.

There is loose talk of The Biggest Midget in the Game™ making a move to Southampton. 6 years ago the Saints were basking in the warm, champagne-soaked glow of the Premiership; now they wallow upon the stale beer-stained floor that is League One.
I know Freddy would love to play in England but c'mon man, if he does this there is no way to deflect the "Adu is washed up" talk (which I personally don't agree with).

The Hosts: Marcus Hahnemann & Cobi Jones, welcome to your surprise joint birthday party. And, yes Cobi, you unlike Mr. Adu the other day actually are getting a joint for your birthday. Don't smoke this spliff until your real bday tomorrow, alright bud? Ah, I know you won't wait!

This match isn't, as Gary Lineker insists twice, just for "you Americans and Algerians." England's struggles to date have turned this into a tight group where three teams need a win, so the natural choice for the neutral is surely the match with two of them. Such are the vagaries of the group that both sides are likely to still need the win right to the end, which could only help the entertainment value.

Fredy Adu's professional playing future is once again up in the air, and his next club destination is unknown.

What is clear is that he won't be joining Swiss club Sion. After a short trial this week, the team decided that it would pass on the chance to add the 21-year-old.

This week, Jason and Zach hit on the Henry MLS debut, the All Star debacle, Donovan and his transfer chances, Adu and his dead end, listener emails and more. Plus, a bonus interview with new Chivas USA winger Sal Zizzo.Thanks for the Donovan audio goes out to Jordan Wise check his work out on SB Nations Houston page.

After Martin O'Neill's shock announcement yesterday that he was resigning as Aston Villa manager, one man has already shown interest in the job. USA coach Bob Bradley has indicated that he would be ready to move to Europe for a coaching role.

The 52 year old who is regarded as one of the USA's most successful coaches is currently head coach of the senior men's national team.

Directing a backline would be fun. If he had one when in USA colors.

American soccer is probably best known for its goalkeepers.
