Tahiti has played in two U20 World Cup group stage games so far and lost them both 8-0. The first was to Spain. OK. But the second was to Venezuela, a country that barely plays the game. Click to continue reading...

MLS: Colorado Leaves It Late

USSoccerPlayers 24 September @ 08:15 AM EST
With a chance to make a push towards the top of the Western Conference, the Colorado Rapids needed a 93rd minute penalty to salvage a point against San Jose on Wednesday night. Conor Casey's goal from the penalty spot equalized a 67th-minute penalty from San Jose's Chris Wondolowski. Until that point, Colorado had gone 377 minutes without being scored against.

Rapids Draw Again With Late Penalty

We want Rapidman 23 September @ 10:32 PM EST
Conor Casey stood up tall again tonight as he netted an injury time penalty to allow the Colorado Rapids to pick up another point. A 67th minute penalty from Chris Wondolowski gave the San Jose Earthquakes the lead before Casey's late penalty.
The Rapids could simply not break down a stubborn San Jose defense for most of the game and failed to create many chances on the night. Click to continue reading...

Another Game, Another Loss

Down the Byline 23 August @ 11:48 AM EST
The Wizards had looked to pick up a point on the road with a 0-0 draw with San Jose yesterday until late in second half stoppage time. San Jose then found the back of the net through Chris Wondolowski, and the Wizards fell for the third straight game and 4th time in 6 league games. The team's winless streak has now reached 11 games in all competitions when you factor in the Open Cup and SuperLiga. Click to continue reading...

Goals of the Week: Week 20

WVHooligan 03 August @ 12:30 PM EST

Plenty of quality goals in week 20, especially considering we had a 4-3 game, a 4-0 game and a 6-0 game on our hands. Then in non-MLS play we did have a stellar goal from David Beckham (it is posted below the league goals).

Which one was the best? Too many good ones to go through if you ask me.

Houston hot streak puts Dynamo in the driving seat

SoccerLens 19 June @ 06:40 AM EST

After taking a few weeks of the 2009 Major League Soccer season to get going, Houston Dynamo rose to the top of the table last weekend as their remarkable run of good form continued.

San Jose shakeup; Red Bulls party like it's 1999

Dan Loney Says It All 11 June @ 05:12 PM EST
What to make of our last place teams?
San Jose shipped out Nick Garcia and Cam Weaver in exchange for Chris Wondolowski and their real target, salary cap space. John Doyle, my VERY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD, wouldn't tell Jeff Carlisle who they were looking at. Understandable, but right now there are way more reasons to go see the Gold Pride than the Earthquakes. Click to continue reading...

MLS Reserve Division Leading Scorers

Climbing the Ladder 27 August @ 05:32 AM EST
The reserve division stats on MLSnet are incomplete for both 2005 and 2007; the pdf's for those seasons only go up to a certain point in the season. The former is only missing the final four games, but the latter is missing a huge chunk of the season, so I had to go through each match report and add up things by hand.
