Greetings, Dynamo fans. As we are all well aware, our beloved Orange fell short of the 2009 championship. It was a valiant effort against David Beckham and the LA Galaxy. Watching from Houston, the Dynamo played well on Friday night, but early Saturday was a different story.

As midnight passed, LA took advantage of two costly fouls by Ricardo Clark.

Greetings, Dynamo fans. I haven't written in awhile. It's partly because my internet closes out 90% of the time I try to access the site, but mostly because soccer (or MLS) hasn't held my interest.

I am fairly new to soccer so I was hoping this blog would chronicle my growing appreciation and understanding of the sport.

Ok, so Chelsea scored 5 goals today in a shutout of Blackburn, and Tottenham lost to Stoke City. Plus, Aston Villa drew with Wolverhampton. I don't get it...

This is the kind of league that should be easy to peg. Honestly. How hard is it for Chelsea to pick a direction? If they beat Blackburn 5-0 how come they can't beat Aston Villa or Liverpool (other teams that aren't as good as them)?

Greetings loyal readers...
I apologize for the lack on content lately, I've been rather busy working on some various business issues and now I've managed to catch a light respiratory infection. Basically my creativity and drive to write are a bit zapped at the moment, but I should be better soon. Click to continue reading...

Greetings from the nation's capital. It's been what seems like months of build up to this evening. Barbs have been traded between each club, helping to spawn one of the biggest marketing campaigns for an Open Cup final.

More than a month after the U.S. Open Cup semifinals concluded, the Dewar Cup will finally be awarded tonight.

Greetings from a sunny Chicago. I should be looking out on Lake Michigan basking in a great win for the Rapids but a crazy last 20 minutes put paid to that. The team is a few blocks away no doubt also musing on the one that got away. I shouldn't think there is much happy conversation over the scrambled eggs this morning. Click to continue reading...

Greetings CaughtOffside visitors, we had some technical issues that were affecting Internet Explorer Users, but we think its all okay now. This occurred as a result of some idiot messing around in parts of the inner workings of the site when he had no idea what he was doing. That person knows who they are and shall remain nameless, unless of course they repeat this stupidity in which case they will be made a laughing stock across the the world wide web, you have been warned.

While most of the Blaugrana world was caught up in the excitement of Ibrahimovic's presentation, an odd training session took place yesterday with Barca coach Pep Guardiola and ten players in attendance: Pique, Puyol, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets and Dani Alves returning from thier international leave; as well as Marquez, Maxwell, Henry and Hleb who are recovering from injury.

Belated greetings from Carson on a day the Sol is celebrating the game that spawned WPS and the U.S. men are catching their breath after seeing everything go exactly right in South Africa (that "we'll take it" look on Coach Bob Bradley's face at game's end said it all).

Runaway WPS leaders the Sol have never even conceded a goal to FC Gold Pride winning two previous encounters 1-0 and 2-0.

Greetings from Chicago! I wasn't able to post anything last night due to the combination of a long workday and my early morning flight from Phoenix, so here are my thoughts on Wednesday night's match: - The plastic pitch at Saprissa is as big a home advantage for Costa Rica as playing at Azteca is for Mexico.

Greetings from India everyone. Why, you ask, am I in India during the hottest part of their year? Surprise, the answer ISN'T that I'm something of an idiot . Now, I'm not ruling out the possibility that I am in fact something of an idiot but I'm here for work so at least in THIS instance, that's not the reason. Click to continue reading...

Greetings soccer fans,
Just watched some Stoke V Hull this morning and lets just say the quality was Coca Cola Championship level at best. But in the end Stoke came away 2-1 winners.
Personally I wanted Hull to do well this season. They make it up through the Playoff win 6 of their 9 games and now they can't buy a result. Click to continue reading...

Greetings. I'm at Home Depot Center and the Chivas-Seattle game is just kicking off. I'll be on here during the match and afterward. Probably won't do a minute-by-minute recap of the action but I'll chime in accordingly. I've got just the two stories to write and file at the whistle so I won't be as busy as usual, though I could always find things to occupy my time. Click to continue reading...

Bank holiday Monday greetings to you all.

So Hamburg won the Emirates Cup yesterday. Their 3-0 victory over Juventus meant Arsenal had to beat Real Madrid by 4 goals which was never going to happen.

In the end it was just the 1-0 to the Arsenal but it was a deserved victory.
