Mark Hughes is back in the Premier League after agreeing to become the new manager at Queens

A few years ago there was a song by the famous British band Motorhead called "The King of

has a king who is celebrated and revered by the fans and this is somewhat the song that units the
big four. In this post we bow down to the kings of the big four.

Arnie Ramirez was a pioneer in collegiate soccer here in the United States, and not just because of
the success his Long Island University team had on the field.
Ramirez gave opportunities to Latino players long before anyone else was interested and able to do
so at the collegiate level.
Michael Lewis writes of Ramirez and his journey to pay it forward for young Latino soccer players
in the United States.

MLS 2012 SEASON OPENERS
The league has announced the dates of the first home games for next season. All other details, like
opponents are still a few days away from being known.
FALL RIVER, Mass. He may not have a pink mohawk or have a life-sized wall decal in his
likeness, but Dominik Machado is gunning to become the next homegrown talent to emerge from the
Revolution Youth Academy.
After a pair of successful seasons with the U-16s, the creative midfielder didn't skip a beat
with the U-18s last weekend.
FALL RIVER, Mass. The Revolution Youth Academy remained perfect (4-0-0) on the weekend after
their squads claimed 3-2 and 2-0 wins over the New York Cosmos Sunday at BMC Durfee High School
during the first weekend of the 2011-12 U.S. Soccer Development Academy season.
The U-18s opened Sunday's action with an aggressive attack against the Cosmos that featured
goals from Dominik Machado (4′) and Chandler Burnham (9′) to give the Revs an immediate two
goal cushion inside of 10 minutes.
FALL RIVER, Mass. The Revolution Youth Academy kept the Met Oval squads scoreless on Saturday
afternoon by claiming 2-0 (U-18s) and 3-0 (U-16s) wins at Durfee High School on a blustery
Saturday afternoon.
For the 18s, it was a game that saw them dominate on the possession scale in the first half, but
nothing to show for it, as scoreboard flashed a 0-0 scoreline at the half.
If you constantly read everything you can about MLS like I do you'll see them in the comments

With Major League Soccer continuing to grow, the state of the league's schedule and the future
of league expansion remain trending topics in league circles.
MLS commissioner Don Garber harped on both in his State of the League address on Thursday,
alluding to the the fact that the schedule will not be getting any longer despite more teams being
added and that while putting a second team in New York is still a priority, the league is meeting
with other cities to talk about expansion.

Sebastien Le Toux has won the Fair Play Award for the second year in a row. Bien fait!
Le Toux said of the award, "It may not be the most prestigious prize that people are asking
about, but I'm very happy to get [this award] this year. It means I am always respectful on the
field so I'm glad that the league and the referees know that.

It didn't end the way we wanted, but, oh, what a season. As Adam Cann wrote in our match report
for Thurday night's loss in Houston, "After ten months, the Union ended their season where it
began. In their wake they leave every reasonable expectation, and in the city they represent they
will find nothing but love.

The writing was possibly too much on the wall for this not to happen. We heard the whispers for
a little while that something could be going wrong in the New York Cosmos to MLS expansion camp.
With the news the other day that Cosmos chairman and CEO Paul Kemsley resigned, you just knew
something else was going on.
A team new to the league.
A team with a backbone of experienced veterans, but also a team with a commitment to young
players, led by a coach who wasn't afraid to put those young players in key positions to perform in
important games.
A team with a tough, hard-nosed style of play backed by a dominating defense and keeper.
STARTERSThe man who led the charge of the re-formed New York Cosmos Paul Kemsley has resigned from the
organization. This is not a good sign for the struggling proposition.
And since the Cosmos have fallen out of the race for the 20th MLS team, guess who has emerged as
the man behind a new bid to bring a team to New York City.

Kickoff for Sunday's game is now set for 5pm.
ESPN2 is broadcasting New York Red Bulls v LA Galaxy at 3pm, which pushes the kickoff of
Sunday's Union v Houston game, which is also on ESPN2, up to 5pm. Why the start times aren't the
other way around, given the fact that the Eagles are playing the Cowboys at the Linc at 8pm, the
Giants are playing Miami at 1pm and the Jets have a bye, is beyond me.
Now this is interesting. According to SoccerAmerica -remember SoccerAmerica?-- the current

around the MLS expansion pretenders and leaves you with more questions than answers.

Preview: For those reading this (and that'd be you right now), this post is about more
than semantics in calling our sport "soccer" instead of "football". It is about defining our own
history with the sport and our own identity within the global game.
In the last few weeks we've been reading David Wangerin's (author of "Soccer in a Football World")
"Distant Corners" which chronicles the emergence of soccer in the United States.
