I guess you could say I am starting the week off in a very hypothetical mood. Most of what you are
about to read is purely wants and desires that I would like to see happen. I know some things will
never change in the MLS and I am alright to a degree about that. [...]
Good Friday to you all, I felt like starting the day out with this nugget that I wrote a while
back. I waited around to post it due to all the trade talks this week. We all love looking at MLS
player salaries and review them. I felt like today would be a nice day to [...]
Okay, I think I have a decent start at this off-season's player movement. I will try to update this
every week (as long as there are moved to talk about), if not more than once a week once it gets
closer to the season start in March. If you see a move that is incorrect or [...]
I will probably end this week with this as I am set to travel back to West Virginia today from
Dallas. Unless something major comes up or some trade or whatever then this could be the last post
until after Christmas, but then again we will see. Last week I covered the MLS over-paid here and
[...]
Not a lot of changes to this in the past week. Just the Boswell/Wells deal between DC and Houston.
Also the Troy Perkins to Norway is listed on here. As usual if any moves are missing on here just
leave me a comment and let me know.
Naturally I know what most MLS Clubs want for Christmas. A better 2008 than 2007, even the Dynamo
is included in that because they will want a repeat along with more hardware in 2008. I had been
trying to figure out a way to write up needs and wants in this off-season for each club and [...]
I've been meaning to update this list for a couple weeks now that the playoffs are quickly coming
to a close with the MLS Cup just weeks away. Only four clubs remain in the hunt for the league
prize but it is still a good time as ever to update this list. Hat tip to Climbing [...]
Only one change on here...and its Andy Dorman's destination to Scotland. As always if something is
missing, please comment or email and let me know so I can fix it right away. Happy New Year
everyone! Probably no more updates until Wednesday or Thursday of this week, things have been
pretty slow around here anyways lately with [.
In an article that was published earlier this month by the New York Times, it is apparent that
several teams will turn profit this season in the MLS. Thanks to soccer-specific-stadiums and big
time players like David Beckham playing in the league, clubs are actually seeing black rather than
red. Five clubs are expected to turn [...]
This is kind of a big deal to some so this will get posted and talked about in some length. But
today, sources say that the MLS and the USSF are able to lighten the restrictions on foreign based
players in the league. Weeks back I heard rumors of the MLS ditching the current four senior [...]
A couple weeks before the new year and it's time for the WVHooligan "Way Too Early 2008 Season
Predictions." Some things will be included into next year's actual season predictions in March and
some things are just random thoughts that I think could happen over the course of the 2008 year. Of
course some things are [.
The MLS sent out their changes for next year, most of stuff you all have read on here or other
sites. I won't post the entire thing, but I will give quotes here and there from the entire
document that was passed along to me in my inbox that was dicussed in a phone interview [...]
No secret that New England assistant coach Paul Mariner(left) wants a head coaching gig in the MLS.
The questions are most now days of where and when rather than if. After being linked with a
possible move to Toronto last week, before Reds coach turned away the rumors, Paul Mariner's name
had been mentioned in the [.
This is what I love about the off-season in any league really. The crazy rumors of players from
abroad coming over and players from here going over there. I ran across this little nugget today
about Mexican striker Jared Borgetti coming to play in the MLS after turning down offers from teams
in Russia and [.
Only a couple moves to update here on this list. The Harris to Chivas deal and then an another Red
Bull retires. I fully expect this to start picking after the New Year. Between now and then as you
all know is a little slower than we'd all like. But I can tell you there [...]
Another week down in the league. It still seems like there is three levels of clubs here, the 1-4,
5-8, and the 9-13 are all interchangeable but none seem to go out of that group anymore. That
pretty much is the case again this week. 1. (1) New England Revolution (39 pts.) - A win and [...]
To say that this season was one of the best in the MLS may be a slight understatement considering
that it isn't even over yet. But in terms of regular season, it could be labeled as one of the best
since it's very first back in 1996. Partly the reason is the attendance is on the [...]
The playoffs may be in full gear right now but it is also a good time to discuss which MLS coach
will be fired for not getting his club to the post-season dance. Out of the five coaches, who's
teams failed to reach the playoffs I really see two getting the boot in the coming months [...]
I guess you could say I have had some time to let the 2007 season simmer on my plate here before I
recapped everything. I thought about doing a team-by-team review like the guys over at the Center
Holds It, but I didn't feel like going that extra mile, hat tip to them for it. [...]
A wild weekend of action around the league. We all should have known with Thursday nights' action
in Colorado would be good indicator of exactly how messed up this weekend was going to be. Loads
of great action around the MLS. Not one game disappointed in the action. Attendance was great
(except for you Kansas [...]
The league schedule is almost 70% done here and there is still a lot left to play for unless your
club is in Salt Lake or are the LA Galaxy. Still, even those clubs have some pride to play for at
this point and they do have games at hand to deal with. Anyways, another [...]
Another week down in the MLS, only so many more to go. A couple teams stay around at the same spots
that they've been at for weeks now, a couple teams do get on the move. 1. (1) DC United (46 pts.) -
No need to even move this club. A (decent) draw against the best [...]
Pretty much a goal filled weekend in the MLS. One more club punched their ticket to the post season
dance, while others are tightening the race for the final couple spots. I guess it would be wise to
start with the action on Sunday first. In doing so I will start with the Houston-LA game. I [...]
I figured it would be easier to cut to the chase and not list out every club and who they were
protecting, and instead put who they weren't going to protect in tomorrow's expansion draft. Some
very interesting names on this list. A few that I notice sticking out like a sore thumb are guys
like [...]
The MLS released the complete list of players available for today's 3:00 p.m. ET waiver Draft, to
be conducted via conference call. Below is the order of the draft and the available players. The
MLS Waiver Draft Selection Order: 1. San Jose 2. Toronto 3. Salt Lake 4. Los Angeles 5. Colorado 6.
Columbus 7.
In light of some recent trades I decided to make an update to the 2008 SuperDraft order. The draft
is a little more than a month away now (Jan 18th if I am not mistaken) but there is plenty to
discuss with this. Some picks are still guess-work but I think right now we have a [...]
I wanted to get to this earlier in this weekend but had to wait until today. I am planning on
discussing the MVP, ROY, Best XI, etc. in the coming days. I feel the Rookie of the Year race is
only down to a couple players anymore. This as it is on the side of the [...]
Today is a real slow day for news around the MLS. Not a lot of deals going down or things to make
real note of so this post may be a bit random to some. Just wanted to touch base on a few things
and throw out my opinions on them. As always feel free [...]
Only two more weeks left in the regular season and things are really getting interesting here. Two
more playoff spots have been clinched while the other two are tightening up here at the moment. As
for the rankings, some things change very little here. 1. (1) DC United (54 pts.) - Hard to even
think of [...]
As mentioned yesterday it was a fairly crazy weekend of play in the league. However that doesn't
bring a whole lot of change in the rankings. Got to remember folks that this is a body of work over
the season and not just after a single week. So with that said... 1. (1) Houston Dynamo (34 [...]
Few weeks to go and the awards races are as hot as the playoff race itself. Last week's discussion
brought a lot of talk and this week should be no different. As always feel free to post you
thoughts on the awards and who you think should and will win. - Coach of the Year - Preki, Chivas
[...]
Part two of this expansion draft coverage here at WVHooligan.com shifts focus to the western
conference clubs and who they will protect in next weeks draft. We already looked at the eastern
clubs earlier in the day and now it is time to figure out the rest of the league. Again, this list
is fairly long [...]
I never like writing things like this really but when it is due it has to be done. It has been
reported by Ives and a couple others today that the Colorado Rapids will do the unthinkable and
allow Fernando Clavijo to come back and coach another season in Denver next year. I must say I
[...]
Reports have always been that Mexican striker Daniel Osorno had always wanted to play in the MLS.
Now he gets to live his dream as he was reportedly signed with the Kansas City Wizards (article in
Spanish). There had been reports earlier in the week that he was going to sign with Colorado or
Dallas. 3rddegree.net [...]
Maybe it was a little too much of the out-of-sight-out-of-mind theory as to why MLS All-Star coach
Steve Nicol snubbed his own star forward for next week's All-Star game against Scottish champs
Celtic FC. The league and Nicol announced the remaining of the All-Stars today and overall I have
to say I am a bit shocked [...]
I know the All-Star game is next week but I wanted to save some time and get these team grades out
of the way now before I didn't have the time or energy to do so later on next week. Pretty much
everyone is at the mid-way stage of this season, everyone except the LA [...]
Yes, yes, I know it has been months since I have even done this post but I felt today was a solid
day to take another stab at rating some foreign players in the MLS, as well as the big name
designated players that have made such great impacts on this season already. Again, I know [...]
I honestly don't know what kind of time I will have today to write about some things like last
night's All-Star game in which two MLS All-Star rookies and Colombians stole the show for the MLS
(Juan Toja and Juan Pablo Angel) or some other things that I have been wanting to touch base on
[...]
Another weekend of travel for this guy but it doesn't keep me from dishing out a preview for the
weekend's games. Four games on tap, two each day, so plenty of action to see really. I don't know
exactly how much of it all I will see because I am in a wedding tomorrow. But anyways, [...]
These rankings this week are going to be fairly short and sweet due to lack of time on my part
right now. So some explanations won't be detailed, while others may not be as much as usual. 1. (1)
New England Revolution (42 pts.) - Lucky break gives the Revs three full points and a little [...]
