Here at World Club Rankings, you know what we like – Club Football. Unfortunately, we will not get very much of that this weekend as almost every top domestic league in the world goes into a little hiatus for World Cup 2010 qualifiers. That means that only one club form the most recent WCR Top 25 is in action (Gremio) and the only club matches on television here in the States are MLS matches. Click to continue reading...

I don't have much on short notice except that Eddie Lewis is expected to play.  (I love this picture of Lewis and his family.  Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.)  The game can be seen on HDNet and FSN-PT at 7:30 EST so leave work early and head to the sports bar!

I'm excited to see the line-up and find out if Arena took my offensive line up from the Eddie Lewis Is Ours comments.

Despite the fact that Kyle Martino is not a Galaxy guy this year, I still have him on my google alerts emails notices you get whenever somebody's name appears somewhere on the web.

For most of the season, my news has been about people unrelated to Kyle a whole lot of graduation announcements for one person named "Kyle Something" and another named "Something Martino.

Dang. Chivas plays tonight on HDnet at 7:30 pm and I'm planning on catching the game at Coester's in the hopes of seeing Lance Parker in goal. The Wizards game kicks off at 6:30 pm, in DC.

I thought it might be his turn after Dan Kennedy's outing last week against the New England Revolution in the Superliga group stage.

Canada's sports network TSN reports that "MLS Commissioner Don Garber will lift the original ceiling of 18 franchises and announce Thursday a new expansion plan of not less than 20 and up to 24 franchises by 2013-2014."

They add that, "Vancouver and Montreal are considered expansion priorities for Garber in 2011. Click to continue reading...

Good afternoon all. Today is a relatively light schedule as four teams continue their SuperLiga exploits. That doesn't mean there still aren't some entertaining match-ups on the slate.

David Beckham's return to New York leads the way as the golden one plays in front of a packed Giants Stadium today.

Since MLS and HDNet love themselves some exclusive agreements, I will not be able to watch the game. However, that isn't to say I can't give my two words on the match. We'll lose. OK, technically not two words, but still. People will be expecting us to come flying out of the gates with The [...] Click to continue reading...

Part one of four is now complete - that being the draw at Dallas. Could have been a loss, should have been a win. Couldn't watch it thanks to the people at HDNet, so I am going to let it slide with few comments. Up next is today's match against the Sounders. From what I've seen, Onalfo is starting a reserve-heavy squad, giving some regulars a chance to catch their breath.

Unbeaten in their last three games, the resurgent Kansas City Wizards look to keep rolling on the Fourth of July when they take on FC Dallas at Pizza Hut Park (6:00 p.m. CT; HDNet). A win over Dallas would bring the Wizards back to the .500 mark and into the thick of the playoff race.

We have a busy, busy week ahead of us. We play tomorrow at Carolina RailHawks in the U.S. Open Cup round of 16, then travel directly to Dallas, where we will train prior to our July 4 match-up with FCD Friday at 6:30 p.m. CT. That game will be shown on HDNet. Tomorrow's game will be available at www. Click to continue reading...

What the weekend lacks for in quantity, it makes up for in quality as the Euro 2008 tournament draws to a conclusion as Germany takes on either Spain or Russia in the final. As I've been saying for weeks now, Go Germany!!! I'll be watching the game at Estadio RFK in Washington, immediately following United's hosting of the Los Angeles Galaxy.

I will be the first to admit that I have been a little lax recently in my posts. What can I say? This is a club soccer site and there's not much going on in the club world at the moment, although the Copa Libertadores finals start next week and should give us something to talk about.

That doesn't mean there's nothing on television, though. Click to continue reading...

Tonight, the New York Red Bulls visit RFK Stadium for the first time in 2008. As a supporter of our team, you already know that you don't like them. Nor do your friends. Nor do your parents. The good news is, that as a supporter of D.C. United, you've seen a lot more wins than losses versus the team from New York.
