"United States Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs Columbus Crew, New England
Revolution and San Jose Earthquakes all wanted to sign the fleet-footed Guyanese, following his
terrific showing over two legs in the CONCACAF Champions League against the Revolution, including
scoring a hat trick in Public's 4-0 victory, in the away leg in Boston earlier this
month.
I'm happy to see that the Bay Area (San Jose, to be specific) will be joining the WPS for the 2009
season. "Play kicks off in the spring of 2009, with WPS teams based in the Bay Area,
Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Jersey/New York, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C. The league will

It's been far too long since I've written about the women's game, so here's some fodder for that

Women's pro soccer is back. Well not quite yet. At least it will be in Spring 2009. Hopefully, some

between nations and provide hope to the people of Iraq through the "universal language"
of soccer.
Considering that Dema and Mathis are two of my all time favorite Metro Bulls, and I won't be at

But the lovefest ends there!
With Espindola sidelined from a celebration gone awry, RSL will be searching for the net all
night.

Conceding three goals inside the last nine minutes of the game condemned Chivas USA to a 4-0
defeat against the New England Revolution Thursday and put their place in the third and final
playoff spot in the Western Conference in jeopardy.
The result tied Chivas USA for their second highest margin of defeat of the season.
