Because I Should Probably Make a Pick For MLS Cup

kenn.com 20 November @ 06:06 PM EST

I like the Galaxy to beat Real Salt Lake.

I asked my friend Dan Loney, who is a huge Galaxy fan but hates David Beckham like people who really hate things hate things, "Would you be conflicted if Becks scored the game-winner Sunday night?"

Dan said, "HE OWES US.

Friday's Daily: Sunday Night Lineup

USSoccerPlayers 20 November @ 10:15 AM EST
With J Hutcherson -- And some eyes turn to Seattle. More than you would think if the Western Conference Final rating is an indication. That game was scheduled at an inconvenient time for the East Coast, so maybe prime time on Sunday works out. The major competition is NBC's Football Night In America. Click to continue reading...

Player Reviews Nyassi and Wahl

Sounder at Heart - Soccer From the Heart of the Sound 16 November @ 08:40 PM EST

I have referred to these two as Substitutes in my tiering of Starter, Rotational, Substitute and Reserves, but honestly, Nathan Sturgis likely belongs here as well. All three are almost always on the available bench, but rarely see time. In Sanna's case he is still quite young, just entering the years where he would make or break in the US system.

Bryan James Is A S.O.B.

The Offside Rules 11 November @ 12:26 PM EST
The first time I ever heard of Bryan James was at the Superdraft in Bodymore, Murderland about 2 years ago. Dude was down there with his merry men from Philadelphia and were stuck in amongst the rest of the supporters groups. The thing was though they didn't even have a team yet but that didn't stop them from singing, hollering and carrying on with the rest of us zealots. Click to continue reading...

Rights Controlled Players

Sounder at Heart - Soccer From the Heart of the Sound 10 November @ 12:05 AM EST

In Major League Soccer a team can control the rights to a player even if they are unsigned. Below you will see capsules of the players for which the Sounders control their rights, but who did not see much time, nor are they under contract for 2010.

These are players who for one reason or another the Sounders will not likely use for their next season, but who might have minor value to other teams in the league.

Duka To Sign With MLS

WVHooligan 07 November @ 05:20 PM EST

I know I normally take the weekend's off but I do think this news is noteworthy enough to get me to the laptop to type it out. Steve Goff reported earlier today that former New York Red Bull academy player and Rutgers star Dilly Duka is set to sign with Major League Soccer.

Instead of exploring options in Europe like he had hoped after he left Rutgers earlier this fall, Duke now is set to sign a four-year deal with the league.

120 Fahrenheit: 2010 Expansion Draft

The expansion draft for the 2010 Philadelphia Union will almost certainly take place on the Friday following MLS Cup. There will be a window that week to make trades then a freeze one day before the expansion draft. Since the 2009 season is over for FCD it makes sense to now look at who might get protected.

2010 Home Opener Announced

TFC Connected by Ben Van Weelden 14 October @ 04:10 PM EST
For the second straight year, we will play host to an expansion side in our home opener. Our 2010 home opener will be on April 17 against Philadelphia Union, on a nice and new grass surface. I find the timing of the announcement a little odd, given the fact that we are nearing the end of a very, very tight playoff race. Click to continue reading...

In a shock trade the Sol allowed central defender Allison Falk, an integral part of the L.A. defense last serason, and backup goalkeeper Val Henderson to leave for the expansion Philadelphia Independence today in exchange for the No. 5 and No. 22 draft picks.
