Plenty of transfer news (and some rumors) out there for ya to start the week off. Some may be a
couple days old but I was too busy this weekend to get around to talking about any of it. Again, no
Figo to MLS rumors or Ronaldo to New York madness here. I don't wanna waste [...]
Something that really should have been posted a month ago or so has finally been released. The 2008
MLS SuperDraft order is finally out and ready for the public viewing. Interesting seeing the number
of picks and where things actually did fall for the clubs. Chivas with only one pick really jumps
out at me, especially since [.
Slow start to the day but a couple things to mention to get us going. According to sources, and the
ol' mighty Goff, Taylor Twellman had been courted by a European club. At first we didn't know which
club, but thanks to Goff we now do and it was struggling English Championship side Preston North
End.
Not to be outdone by rivals Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur has announced a strategic partnership with a
Major League Soccer club. In 2007, Arsenal announced a partnership with Colorado. Now Spurs have
announced a deal with San Jose Earthquakes. The major difference with the Spurs deal is that it
sets the wheel in motion for Tottenham to [.
A few moves to mention. New York waived a guy (Quaranta), as did New England (Simms). A couple
transfers went down as complete this week (Perkins and Dorman), but I kinda had those on here well
before that since they were all but finished. Lots will change in the coming weeks with the
SuperDraft ahead on [.
Five MLS clubs can now sign players out of their youth academies. Two-time champions Houston Dynamo
along with the Chicago Fire, DC United, New York Red Bulls and Chivas USA can sign players who have
graduated from their youth academies to their senior rosters. New England and Toronto are the only
established MLS teams that still [.
The Red Bulls have waived an oft-injured midfielder Santino Quaranta. Quaranta was acquired from
Los Angeles for a conditional fourth-round draft pick, he played just three games for the Red Bulls
for a combined total of 47 minutes. He missed most of the second half of the season with a foot
injury. Will he get another shot [.
Bouna Coundoul of Colorado in Major League Soccer (USA) has his critics who say that he is
"too flashy" and that he has "butterfingers" and he also has avid fans and
supporters who claim his flamboyance makes the game we love so much - football - a joy to behold.
Have a watch of Coundoul in [...]SHARETHIS.

Tough one to predict.
As we celebrate our independence, we watch our MLS as well. Last night, there were three
matches and all lived up the their billing. We start with a journey to Frisco Texas to see a
reeling Dallas play host to a stalling Kansas City. After the jump are the highlights.
Hot dogs and soccer, that's really [.
Dallas is currently tied for the last spot in the playoffs. Well, not really... Even though
both Dallas and Colorado have 34 points (and Dallas has a huge goal differential
lead), they were 0-2-1 against the Rapids this year, so they'll lose the tiebreaker even if they
finish neck & neck in points.
With only three weeks remaining in the regular season, the playoff race is more tightly contested
than ever before. Columbus and Houston are in, and New England, Chicago and even Chivas
appear to have a firm grasp on their postseason spots. However, three spots (the third in the West
and the two wild card spots) are still [.
The Colorado Rapids are selling playoff tickets on their website. That's an unusually strange move
for a team that would barely qualify for the postseason if the regular season ended today. I
guess you could call it confident though, which is never a bad thing in pro sports. Well, so long
as you're not overconfident, that is.
What a crazy year it's been for Jimmy Conrad and the boys from lil' ol' Kansas City.
After a strong start, KC has been pretty mediocre for the duration of the season. They've had
spurts of good play, but they have been way too streaky. Yet, the Wiz are within pissing
distance of the playoffs. And fortunate for them, they are [.
With only one game left in the season for most teams (well, except for Colorado and
Chivas, who play today), the playoff brackets are finally being filled in. San Jose lost by one
goal to Houston on Wednesday, then dropped another one goal game to Kansas City on Saturday. The
Quakes are no longer in playoff contention.
I've been prattling off predictions here all week. Most of my guesses will likely be dead
wrong. After all, I do not exactly have a great record picking winners. Just read my preseason take
on DC United, and you will see that I will sometimes (er, often) miss the boat a
little (uh, badly). I'm definitely no psychic.
