MLS Matchday 31: A Look Ahead

Soccer By Ives 17 October @ 11:07 AM EST

There are just two weeks left in the MLS regular season and the jockeying for the final four playoff spots will be extra intense this weekend as a handful of vital match-ups look to clear up the playoff picture.

The Chicago Fire, Seattle Sounders and Colorado Rapids can lock up playoff spots with wins this weekend while the New England Revolution attempt to halt a late-season slide that has several contenders dreaming of grabbing the final playoff berth.

The Columbus Crew once again came away empty handed in a Group C match against Cruz Azul. Two first half goals from the visitors were enough as Columbus fell 2-0. Click to continue reading...

You've got to be kidding. For the second time in less than a week, Conor Casey scored on a penalty kick deep into extra time as the Colorado Rapids tied the San Jose Earthquakes 1-1.

MLS Week 27 Notes

Climbing the Ladder 21 September @ 05:21 AM EST
1) Various records to watch for:
  • Eric Avila has made 16 subs without a start. Needs four more in the final five games to break the record, or three to tie.
  • The worst Supporters Shield winners in MLS history were the 2004 Columbus Crew at 1.633 PPG. Somebody will need to finish with 50 points to surpass them.

Week Eight Preview: Part One

The Offside - MLS 08 May @ 03:54 PM EST

Due to time constraints, I'm only going to have time for a quick look at tonight's match up. I haven't carved out enough time to get through seven (quality) previews in time for kickoff between San Jose and New York. Part two will be up late Friday night/Saturday. Here goes with tonight's game:

New York v San Jose
Desperation reeks from this one as a disappointing Red Bull squad take on a weakened San Jose side.

USMNT Training Camp: New defenders added, Holden interviewed

Soccer By Ives 07 January @ 07:26 AM EST

The U.S. men's national team added a pair of defenders on Tuesday to cover for the absences of Clarence Goodson and Cory Gibbs, and it was a pair of defenders you might not have expected to see.

San Jose fullback Jason Hernandez and Colorado central defender Ugo Ihemelu were called in by U.

Red Bulls Preview: Game #18 at Shakes

The Kin of Fish 25 July @ 01:46 PM EST
Last week, the New York Red Bulls let two points slip away in injury time vs. LA at home. Sunday afternoon, New York will have a golden opportunity to escape last place in the East when they play the West's bottom-feeder, San Jose (3-9-5), at Buck Shaw Stadium in Santa Clara (3p, MSG+).
The last time out, the New York offense was invigorated by the addition of midfielder Jorge Rojas, who assisted on both Red Bull goals in 2-2 draw with the Galaxy. Click to continue reading...

Earthquakes 1, Rapids 1: A Supporter's View

Soccer By Ives 19 July @ 09:46 AM EST

(Apologies for this post getting up several days late. It was supposed to run in mid-week but a technical glitch caused it not to be posted.)

What happens when a team that can't win two in a row faces a team that can't win?

You get a tie.

MLS Review Part 2: San Jose v Colorado and Chicago v Toronto

The Third Half 14 July @ 02:00 PM EST

San Jose Earthquakes 1 Colorado Rapids 1. San Jose was robbed as far as I'm concerned. How the linesman or Hilario Grajeda did not spot Conor Casey's push of Jason Hernandez in the 69th minute is beyond me. It was also the moment Grajeda lost control of this game. The game was already physical to begin with.

'Quake rarities

Sideline Views 12 July @ 04:39 PM EST
I'm watching the San Jose-Colorado match and I saw two things that I you don't see every day:
- San Jose scored a goal
- Frank Yallop got sent off
First, the goal. Ryan Johnson smashed a diving header past Bouna Coundoul with about 30 minutes left in the game. Unfortunately for the 'Quakes, Conor Casey equalized about five minutes after. Click to continue reading...

Half Time: San Jose Earthquakes at Chivas USA

100 Percent Soccer 05 July @ 10:30 PM EST

For the first 35 minutes or so this was a frenetic, yet largely directionless game, punctuated only by a 16th minute Jonathan Bornstein shot that Earthquakes goalkeeper Joe Cannon did well to hold onto with one hand.

Then, while the half ended 0-0, the scoring chances started coming fast and furious beginning in the 37th minute.

San Jose Earthquakes-Chivas USA at Home Depot Center

100 Percent Soccer 05 July @ 09:26 PM EST

Chivas USA (5-6-3) can jump from sixth to tied for first in the Western Conference with the Galaxy if they manage to beat the worst team in MLS, the San Jose Earthquakes (3-8-3), who have one goal in the last four games while going 0-2-2.

Coach Preki makes three changes to the team that drew 1-1 last week with the Red Bulls.

Climbing the Ladder 11 June @ 05:53 AM EST
Part one can be found here. One small note, the second leg of Guatemala vs St. Lucia will be played in Los Angeles. That's St. Lucia's home game, so they've also decided to cash in ala Belize. Thanks to "lovingthegreen" on Bigsoccer for the info, as well as compiling the dates and times.

Expansion draft results - Happy Thanksgiving

Major League Soccer Fan Blog 24 November @ 09:19 PM EST

I've been out of town and away from the computer for the holiday weekend so I missed the expansion draft. San Jose was able to draft 10 players while I was gone. I don't have much else to say (or the energy) so I'll leave you with the list:

  • Ryan Cochrane (Houston Dynamo)
  • Clarence Goodson (FC Dallas)
  • Ned Gravaboy (Columbus Crew)
  • James Riley (New England Revolution)
  • Joe Vide (New York Red Bulls)
  • Ivan Guerrero (Chicago Fire)
  • Brain Carroll (DC United)
  • Jason Hernandez (Chivas USA)
  • Gavin Glinton (LA Galaxy)
  • Chris Pozniak (Toronto FC)

No one picked up from Kansas City Wizards, Real Salt Lake or Colorado Rapids.
