Today, Sporting KC released information regarding the sell of single-game tickets. Starting next week, the team will start selling single game tickets to the team's first 8 home games. Games against New England, Dallas, LA, Real Salt Lake, Montreal, San Jose, Toronto and Chicago. Tickets will begin to go on sale starting February 13th for season ticket holders.

On June 3, the U.S. Men's National Team will be making its first trek North of the Border in over a decade as they travel to Toronto's BMO Field to take on Canada in an international Friendly.

The U.S. Men's National Team will face off against their northern rival, Canada, on June 3rd, just one week before the 2014 CONCACAF World Cup qualifying begins. The announcement came late Thursday afternoon, first by the CSA and then by U.S. Soccer. The game will be played at BMO Field in Toronto and will be [.

The United States will play Canada on June 3rd at Toronto's BMO Field (7pm ET - NBC Sports Network), the US Soccer Federation announced on Thursday. The game will be part of the Canadian Soccer Association's 100th anniversary. "First of all, we are honored to be chosen to be part of Canada's Centenary Celebration," US National Team coach Jurgen Klinsmann said.

Yesterday's rumors about KC announcing the signing of Jacob Peterson turned from rumor to fact today as Sporting KC announced the signing of the 6 year MLS veteran. Peterson had been without a team since he was allowed to entry the re-entry draft by the San Jose Earthquakes. Peterson becomes the third player with a fairly long MLS career to join Kansas City this offseason, joining Bobby Convey and Pablo Nagamura.

UNC Charlotte midfielder Evan James was selected first in the 2012 Major League Soccer supplemental draft, taken by the Montreal Impact. Cruz Azul youth prospect Gienir Garcia went second to Vancouver. Selecting third, New England took Bethel University midfielder Dawyne Smith, with New Mexico's Michael Green going to Toronto with the fourth pick.

11:23am: Now is the time to float any and all wacky trade rumors. It's almost expected that at least one MLS veteran will move clubs out of nowhere. 11:20am: How likely is it that Toronto remains the only team with two first round picks? Highly unlikely. 11:06am: Rumors abound that Montreal is trying to entice Houston to part with Andre Hainault in exchange for the quick return of Brian Ching and Montreal's #1 pick.

Oh SuperDraft Eve. You have to love the excitement surrounding a draft.

So many things can happen though between now and tomorrow afternoon. Teams will be wheeling and dealing all night in hopes of either moving up in the draft, finding some decent talent outside the draft in a trade, or just hoping that the one special player you've had your eye on since December is still available.

There was good news coming out of the TFC universe today as Joao Plata left the loan category and signed for Toronto. The deal was described as "multi-year" and no dollar amount was mentioned.
I like Plata, you have to admire the energy and dedication that he brings to the field. I am still convinced that he should be used as a super sub more often.

Thursday's SuperDraft will be here before we know it. I'll be fairly busy with the day job over the next day and a half but I did want to get this up today. With one final day of the Combine, teams are hoping to fill as many holes in this draft as they possibly can. Some teams will only get one shot at it (FC Dallas) while others have a few chances to add depth (Toronto).

The big story of the day is of course our new coach, but I wanted to throw some notes about the schedule out first.
Teams we play at home only:
Columbus (season opener)
Chicago
KC
Montreal
Houston (season finale)
Teams we play on the road only:
Toronto
Philly
DC
NY
New England (no Jameson's night this year)
Teams we play at home twice and on the road once:
Portland
LA
Chivas
San Jose
Teams we play on the road twice and once at home:
Vancouver
Seattle
FSL
Dallas
So FSL has the edge in this year's Rocky Mountain Cup, which will be decided by August, the earliest ever.

LEAKED: TFC's schedule leaked, reportedly rest to come Thursday

I read that we have Toronto away.

ED edit: May 12, 2012 vs Portland Timbers

Couple of pieces I found on the web.

First, our friends at New England Soccer Today reports that Milton Caraglio has signed with a Chilean club, C. S. D. Rangers. Here is the link: http://nesoccertoday.com/?p=8201

This is a definite weakening of an area which was not a strong point last year.

I very nearly ducked this one. I really want to duck this one. I've spent days telling myself how tacky posts like this one are, and how I should just let it go and not write it. How I shouldn't write it out of dedication to literary piety. But I know better. I know the real reason is that I have something to say, and I don't particularly want to say it for a whole host of reasons - personal, professional, and otherwise.

Dynamo Acquire Nathan Sturgis

Once called the most average player in MLS (he's the basis for our tools) and once traded for a first round pick, the former Sounder was acquired from Toronto for a conditional Draft pick.

As I think I mentioned earlier, I'm actually going to two regionals (or playoffs as they're now officially known) this year; the first I was a skating official, this second an alternate. I really didn't think I'd have anything to write. Really, do you want to hear about how I sat down, watched a game, occasionally walked into the center for an official review or timeout, then told the announcers what it was and the result?

In my 2011 season preview, I predicted that Toronto would struggle for the first few months under its newest leadership structure (new general manager and head coach) but toward the end of the year start to look like a promising ...

Bell & Rogers buy into TFC. Some first impressions on what this might mean for the future of Toronto FC
Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast)

By Tony Edwards - San Jose, CA (Dec 6, 2011) US Soccer Players -- Thursday's 5, with Tony asking about Eastern Conference teams moving forward, college players attending the Combine, and possibly the best best nickname in MLS. Have any Eastern Conference teams actually gotten better this off-season? Exaggerating for effect, but other than Kansas City, who would make the list of having improved?

Mais um jogo das eliminatórias da Copa do Mundo de 2014, foi realizado no dia 02/09/2011, na cidade de Toronto-CAN, onde jogaram as seleções do Canadá (102º no ranking da FIFA) e a seleção de St. Lucia (184º no ranking da FIFA).
Antes desse jogo, as 2 seleções nunca haviam jogado.

Today MLS announced the national television games for MLS First Kick the weekend of March 10th. Sporting KC isn't going to be on national television for their season opener, but the announcement does narrow the field for who Sporting KC could play on the first weekend. The national broadcasts kick off on Saturday on TSN in Canada as one of last year's expansion sides, Vancouver, take on this year's expansion side, Montreal in Vancouver.

The Revolution used its second overall pick to select former University of Rhode Island midfielder Danleigh Borman from Toronto during Stage 1 of today's Re-entry Draft. Since Borman is out of contract, the league will extend a Bona Fide offer to him to play for the Revolution.

Borman played in 21 games for the Reds and recorded three assists in 2011.

It's amazing what a new stadium, with a capacity over 10,385 can do for a team's average attendance. Combine that with a team that is doing well on the field and an atmosphere that has vaulted the Cauldron up into the upper echelon of supporters' groups and you'll see a massive increase in attendance.

Staff Writer Phil Collin headed out to Home Depot Center Wednesday for the last Galaxy training session of the year before the team heads to Southeast Asia for a three-game tour. And the team will be back at it early next year with CONCACAF Champions league games looming fairly quickly.

But then they're used to that by now:

"It's not just the short offseason this year, it's the cumulative effect of the last three years playing late in the season where other teams have three weeks or a month more off every year," Landon Donovan said.

By Clemente Lisi – Carson, CA (Nov 20, 2011) US Soccer Players – The joke in the press box at the Home Depot Center on Sunday night was that it had been the fault of the large contingent of English journalists credentialed for MLS Cup (there to see David Beckham) who brought the rain with them to Southern California.

Houston Dynamo fans will be a bit disappointed when they wake up this morning to discover that Brad Davis was not named the 2011 MLS MVP, but that disappointment will be tempered a bit since Dwayne De Rosario, once an important member of the Dynamo, is this season's MVP. In fact, the last time De Rosario won the MVP, in 2007, he was a member of the back-to-back MLS Cup winning Dynamo.

Looking back over the course of Bruce Arena's tenure with the LA Galaxy, it's hard to argue with the stellar success of his teams. While many will argue that his achievements are tempered by the fact that he was able to go out and buy new, multi-million dollar players as needed, it can be said that he's done the opposite outside of his designated players.

This is a continuation of a press roundup heading into the critical pair of World Cup qualifiers, focused on action in Groups D, E, and F. GROUP D After a training session in Florida, the Canadian national team travelled to St. Kitts and Nevis for their qualifier tonight. A point will clinch first place in the group; if they lose, they still would require a point in the return match in Toronto.

Scott and Ted return in an attempt to review the Eastern Conference and we are fairly successful. We'll get to the clubs we missed, we promise, but for now enjoy. On the phone are correspondents from New England, Toronto, DC, New York, Kansas City and Columbus. CSRN MEDIA PLAYER

The draw was made today in New York.

And the winner of that tie would play either the Seattle Sounders or Mexico's Santos Laguna in the semifinal.

Toronto will host the first leg on March 6-8 (exact dates have yet to be determined); the Galaxy hosts the second leg March 27-29.

Toronto finished one spot off the MLS Eastern Conference basement last season with a 6-13-15 record so you've got to figure the Galaxy will face an overhauled Canadian side next year.

CONCACAF has announced the pairings for the quarterfinal stage of the Champions League. Seattle will play Santos Laguna, Metapan plays UNAM Pumas, with the other two quarterfinals matching up teams from the same league. Morelia plays Monterrey and Toronto draws the LA Galaxy. The dates and times have yet to be released, with the home-and-away series set for March 2012.

Though San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski tied DC United midfielder Swayne De Rosario on the final weekend of the season with 16 goals each, De Rosario takes the Budweiser Golden Boot by leading 12 to 3 on assists. De Rosario scored for three different teams in 2011, starting the season with Toronto before being traded to New York and then DC.

Toronto 2 - New England 2 The two clubs at the bottom of the Eastern Conference played for pride on Saturday, finishing the season by splitting the points at BMO Field. Nick Soolsma put Toronto up in the 20th minute. New England equalized in the 41st when Monsef Zerka scored and went ahead in the 46th through Milton Caraglio.

The end of the 2011 season is here. Chicago has been eliminated from the playoffs prior to their last game of the year. This battle is reminiscent of last year's October 8th battle where a down and out Fire squad dispatched a playoff bound Columbus team 2-0 at Toyota Park. Nothing but pride is on the line tonight but that's still a big deal at the end of the day.

Outside of KC's game today, only 2 games could have an effect on Sporting KC, and that's only if KC fails to get the win against DC. If KC wins the results aren't going to matter at all to KC.
Toronto - New England
What we want to happen: Doesn't matter
Both are eliminated from the playoffs, the only thing that is really being fought for is for New England to avoid the "Wooden Spoon" for the worst record in the league.

TFC is in the knockout phase? TFC is in the knockout phase. Our odyssey into the Champions League group phase this year started hot, ran arctic chill cold and ended us somewhere in purgatory. As a reference point, here are your final group standings. MLS pushed through Seattle, Toronto (wha?!) and the Galaxy, none of which were group winners.

By Tony Edwards - San Jose, CA (Oct 13, 2011) US Soccer Players -- In this set of questions, Tony asks about what really ended FC Dallas's Champs League run, a surprise contender in the East, and a different take on the MLS schedule. Was it the loss to Toronto at home that eliminated FC Dallas from the knock-out rounds of the CONCACAF Champions League?

So, here we are.

No more games in hand are left, it is all down to the final game of the season.

When we started this series way back on September 29 following predictions PSP writer Eli Pearlman-Storch made on that week's edition of the KYW Philly Soccer Show podcast, the Union were in fourth place with 40 points, four points behind first place Kansas City.
