Technically, Monday's RSL-Toronto match was in Week 19 of the MLS schedule, but that doesn't really make sense. Playing a Monday night match doesn't make sense either but that's what went down in Utah last night.

Anyway, that caused a minor ripple effect out here as we waited for the fifth of five matches in a two-day span to be played out before handing out or weekly kudos. Click to continue reading...

It was an interesting weekend in the soccer world to say the least.

From the New England Revolution's flight to remember, to the big fan brawl at the Columbus Crew-West Ham friendly, there was plenty of off-field activity to talk about. Fortunately, there was also some on-field stuff to talk about as well, including the completion of SuperLiga group play and the MLS schedule, which finished with five ties (yes, all five games this week finished tied).

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.

I don't have anything to say, at least at this time, about the schedule for the CONCACAF Champions Cup, which was released today...or thereabouts. No, I just want to thank Mike H from My Soccer Blog for visiting the official sites, reading the god-awful press releases, and posting them in a nice, easy-to-read, even [.

Steve Goff, that sly dog from the Soccer Insider, sneaked the following into his Presidents' Day review of soccer news (and it occurs to me, only now, that this could be why things seem so damned quiet today): "*The U.S. Open Cup schedule is much more compact this year. Pending USSF approval, the round of 16 [. Click to continue reading...

This morning, Shawn Mitchell, of Columbus Dispatch and Covering the Crew fame, posted a leaked 2008 home schedule for the Columbus Crew. This schedule is, as he notes, tentative - as in, we may see something different on Thursday (though he doesn't see why we would) - but that doesn't mean we can't learn [.

I got so wired into the whole 30-week season concept that I fully expected two more weeks of Major League Soccer (MLS), but, in reality, next weekend is the end of the line.� And Week 28's results, a parade of the unsurprisingly surprising, left a couple teams all over the league twisting in the proverbial [...] Click to continue reading...

There's so much good stuff out there today...let's just say I had to cut more than I wanted up to and including those Seattle announcement rumors (crap...there it is; for the record, I don't buy them). Moving on... - A half-mysterious injury to Maykel Galindo makes for one of the less-reported items coming out [...] Click to continue reading...

The part of Week 27 that mattered ended with Los Angeles rolling to another win (psst...Colorado beat Toronto...no, I don't care either).� That damnable pack of revenants keeps shuffling and scratching on some unholy quest to, once again, mock the regular season.� If a simple demonstration of the stupidity of it all WAS the mission, [...] Click to continue reading...

Well, this is swell.� Ian Plenderleith's Major League Soccer Week 26 review touches on all the points I intended to make, so I'll just rip off large portions of his work and enjoy the morning cuppa.� Not only did he provide righteous coverage of everything down to the Rico Clark incident (I posted on this [...] Click to continue reading...

Ya know...since posting this last week, it occurs to me this would pretty easy to update.� And, to think, I used to come across things like this on BigSoccer and whisper to myself, "holy shit, dude, get a life."

Not to go all nelly on all y'all - though I can do that from time to time - Fire_Juve10 acted as my muse for today.� After reading (and saying nice things about...yay!) my post on last weekend's Chicago v.
