Leeds United have signed MLS star Robbie Rogers on an 18-month contract from Columbus Crew.
The 24-year agreed personal terms on January 10 but had to wait for his work permit to be approved before he could become officially part of the squad at Elland Road.
Rogers was given a taste of football in England in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Newcastle last week but was unable to feature for the reserves because not all of his paperwork had been completed.

While some continue to debate the merits of sending MLS stars on loan, those in the camp that doubted the quality of MLS were dealt a blow today. Thierry Henry, after two seasons in Major League Soccer, returned to Arsenal and scored a magical goal to win the third round FA Cup match over Leeds.
Henry came off the bench to side-foot home the game winner in the 78th minute for Arsenal.

On Sunday evening in a rainy Carson, California it seemed that all the stars had aligned for MLS, for AEG, for Don Garber, and for the Designated Player concept as David Beckham, Robbie Keane, and Landon Donovan teamed up to give the Los Angeles Galaxy the 2011 MLS Cup winning goal in the 72nd minute at the Home Depot Center.

There will be a running commentary here as well. It will be interesting to see the differences from 2009 (which I helped run) to 2011. It isn't expected that Garber will announce the schedule, playoff and other changes, but he may.

I read a status update on my friend's Facebook page the other day and it read something of the sort, "On My Way to Comic Con 2011".
I will be honest, the first thought that ran through my head was, "Man, what a total NERD!" And then after a few minutes I pondered a couple of things.

We are the champions!

Supporters Shield

It may not be much to look at. It may not be as meaningful as the cup. But once again, it is ours. With Seattle's loss to San Jose the Galaxy have clinched the MLS Supporters Shield for the second year in a row. In simple terms, that means they won the league by securing more regular season points than any other team (with two games to spare!

Either way, history is going to made in Seattle Tuesday night.

Should the host Seattle Sounders defeat the Chicago Fire in the U.S. Open Cup final (10 p.m., Fox Soccer Channel), then they'll put the finishing touches on a three-peat, something that has never been done in the Major League Soccer era and hasn't been accomplished since Greek American AA did so in 1967-1969.

The Los Angeles Galaxy take on Real Salt Lake tonight in a match-up of Western Conference powers, and a game that could draw the Galaxy to the verge of the MLS Supporters Shield.

Real Salt Lake will try to spoil the Galaxy's party, while also snapping their own two-match losing skid.

Remember when MLS teams couldn't buy a win in Mexico?
Way back in like 2010 and before, MLS teams did pretty bad south of the border. It was a little sad to see MLS teams go there, knowing that no matter what they did, it would not be good enough for a win. Heck, a draw would have been seen as an accomplishment.

Next week, the CONCACAF Champions League group stage gets under way with 5 MLS teams having qualified. In light of that, I thought a few readers might like a bit of an explanation about what the whole thing is all about.

By now, most MLS fans have at least an inkling of what the CONCACAF Champions League is.

Ever since I bought the tickets in April, I had been looking forward to July 27th. Besides seeing Manchester United already in Boston, I knew this experience was going to be simply insane. Having the opportunity to see the champions of England go up against America's elite was something I knew that I would cherish.

ECS's Tifo Against Portland Timbers Raises The Bar

I won't pretend to be an expert on the various MLS supporters have displayed over the years, but I have to imagine that Saturday's nine-parter from ECS has to be among the most impressive. Best? I'll let people that pay a lot more attention to that than me make that call. That Mario Bros.-inspired one that the Chicago Fire's Section 8 did last year was pretty cool (although I still don't get the relevance).

Just got back from the sixth day of the Galaxy's preseason camp out at a sun-drenched Home Depot Center (fresh and crisp after that rain Sunday) and the first for 26 of the 28 players on the roster to hit the practice field after a week of gym work and testing.

Only David Beckham (training in England with Spurs) and newly-signed youngster Jack McBean (who is with the U.
