New Mou 'Do It's not quite as severe as the last time he shaved his head, but Jose Mourinho has opted for another closely cropped hairdo. We're mainly posting this as a public service as a lot of Google traffic is finding an old Mourinho 'Do Are Ya? post as they frantically search to see [...]

The year 2011 was a good one for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. The Traffic Sports owned team which originally started out as Miami FC in 2006 rebranded last year as the born again Strikers with a new logo and uniforms to boot. Traffic pushed more money towards the organization than it ever had in the [.

We were looking forward to dusting off our radical feminist costumes and having a good old bitch when we found out that Brazilian side Brasiliense FC had been pushing soft porn on their club website in a bid to boost site traffic.

U.S. Under-23 national team defender Gale Agbossoumonde has endured a rough road in his quest for regular playing time since turning pro two years ago. With a recent stint at Eintracht Frankfurt failing to deliver him playing time, Agbossoumonde looked poised for a move to Major League Soccer.

Welcome back, Andrew Bynum. The center for the Los Angeles Lakers took a break from racking up traffic tickets and got back to playing basketball. In his first game back from suspension, Andrew Bynum was dominant scoring 29 points, pulling down 13 rebounds and blocking two shots.

With Andrew Bynum powerful in the middle, the Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets by a final score of 92-89.

After a week of vacation, I returned to my post here at the MLS Offside to find absolutely terrible news: MLS Rumors has closed. This website needed no introduction: MLS-Rumors.net was, bar none, the spiciest, edgiest, and, often, most accurate source for anything pertaining to Major League Soccer.

Alex Morgan's new profile picture is going to stop traffic on Twitter.

I think that was the best Arsenal have played this season. Wigan got some joy in the opening 10-15 minutes but it was one-way traffic after that. The hosts also showed more of a fight in the second half but Arsenal were just too strong in all areas. I don't want to do a event by event analysis of such a game but want to use Wenger's post game interview as the foundation for this piece as the Boss' summary was sublimely succinct and accurate.

It is that time of the year to start speculating on exactly what the Portland Timbers' roster needs are for the next year. For starters we need to take a look at the most used formations by John Spencer and the Timbers and then fill in what the Timbers still have on the roster.

Formation(s):

The Timbers employed a 4-4-2 for almost the first half of the season.

We're a fan of Deadspin. Really, name a sports fan who isn't. With that in mind, it's certainly notable that Deadspin Editor-in-Chief has been promoted to the Editor-in-Chief of all of Gawker. To replace AJ Daulerio on Deadspin, the company pegged Tommy Craggs.

AJ Daulerio has pushed Deadspin into being arguably the largest and most important sports blog in the world.

Congrats to the Los Angeles Galaxy for claiming MLS Cup glory last night.

What I particularly like about Sunday's soggy outcome is this: For now, at least, we can put away a lot of arguments about how Major League Soccer works. As I said in our SI.com live chat last night:

LA Galaxy was the best team in Major League Soccer wire to wire.

Forwards are meant to score. Sometimes it is that simple. Sure there's so much other stuff that they can do, but in the end they are the scorers. In order for top forwards to accomplish this goal they need space to receive the ball and then space enough to shoot it effectively. In these parts we've called that part of the game tactical awareness.

Traffic merging on your head Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli sported a tyre-track hairdo last season. And it got out of control. The Italian has decided to calm it down with a roadsign cut this season. It was either that or a speed bump haircut.

Ryan Giggs and Wife Stacey accidentally? bumped into one of the Manchester United wingers Mistresses on Tuesday outside a Manchester Restaurant, and stopped traffic as they traded insults.

Weekday games are hard enough to get to. Be sure to pay attention to the latest traffic advisory before heading out to tonight's game against FC Dallas. It's an earlyish kickoff of 7:30 PM CST. In the words of Epstein from Welcome Back, Kotter ", 'Hey Mr. Kotter, I've got a note':

• Due to a road closure on I-55 North at Harlem Ave.

A story involving Traffic Sports' loss of TV contract was reported last July that went largely unnoticed. That story may have already had consequences with the Traffic Sports Group out of Brazil. Traffic is the benefactor that supports three of the eight teams in the North American Soccer League (NASL).

"Look T-bone, I don't care if this is a knockout game or a friendly, you don't let this Hondo "B" team score. Are you receiving me?!)

If you like U.S. Soccer on Facebook, you'll have noticed a bunch of photos on our page throughout the week. Our ussoccer.com photographer is crushing it here in South Florida! Here are some of the best:

Liverpool put two past a gallant Wolves side yesterday in an entertaining fixture for the Reds. The first half was pretty much one way traffic but second half substitutions from Mick McCarthy allowed Wolves to get back into the game with a goal from Steven Fletcher. Liverpool opened the scoring with a little dash of magic from lady luck.

Liverpool See Off Wolves

Liverpool put two past a gallant Wolves side yesterday in an entertaining fixture for the Reds. The first half was pretty much one way traffic but second half substitutions from Mick McCarthy allowed Wolves to get back into the game with a goal from Steven Fletcher.

While dredging up more data points for yesterday's post on MLSsoccer.com's latest round of web stats, I came across this:

What you see is a Quantcast chart for the "MLS ad network," with stats from around May 2009 to present. Given the drop in traffic that happened around the launch of MLSsoccer.

Fred Dreier was nice enough to quote me in the Sports Business Journal a couple weeks ago in regards to the latest viewer stats for MLSsoccer.com, which guarantees a link back. First, the MLS spin:

For the month of July, which is traditionally the busiest month for MLSsoccer.com, the website recorded just over 3 million unique visitors, its highest total ever and a 30 percent jump from July 2010.

The full roster of players has now arrived in Belgium. All 20 players trained this morning but not before a late dash to the field by Kyle Beckerman! Kyle arrived on the overnight flight and went straight from the airport to the training pitch. A set of gear was waiting for him, and once he dug his boots out of his suitcase he was good to go.

It's not my fault if they taste like tofu... I have finally filed a proper report on Gale Agbossoumonde's trial with FC Cologne II. He's already been there three weeks, they are not exactly in any hurry to wave him goodbye and I'm told he has done well there. So far, everyone I've talked to on this says an offer has yet to be made.

After leaving Traffic Sports earlier this summer, former US U-20 left back Gregory Garza is now on trial at Norwegian club Valerenga who currently play in Norway's top division, the Tippeligaen

We're Looking for a New Contributing Editor!

Stumptown Footy is now actively looking for a new contributing editor to help us patch some of the editorial holes that Ryan and I just can't seem to get to on a weekly basis (jobs and social lives... damn you for taking up so much time!).

Essentially what we need is for somebody to do at least one training report each week, meaning you'd get to go to the training sessions and interview John Spencer and the players.

Avoid match traffic and pay less

In association with Merseyrail and Merseytravel, Liverpool FC are pleased to offer LFC Season Ticket holders the opportunity to purchase a Merseyrail Soccer Season Travel Ticket for the 2011-12 season, which could save you up to £30.

This season has been frustrating for us all, but the past weeks have been rough on us all. Before I get to my rant, Ill give the comatose striker fans a brief overview:
LAST FOUR GAMES:
Tampa 4-2 Strikers
Atlanta 3-2 Strikers
Montreal 1-1 Strikers
Islanders 3-1 Strikers
In recent weeks, We've dropped TOO MANY GAMES.

In just a few short weeks, United States international centerback Gale Agbossoumonde will have to go back to the drawing board.

Agbossoumonde's option will not be picked up by his Swedish club Djurgardens IF when his loan expires, the team announced on its website.

Nigeria made a quick exit from the Women's World Cup falling to Simone Laudehr's 64th minute toe poke through traffic. The defending champions had numerous chances but were unsettled by the physical Super Falcons. However, Germany kept their composure and in the second half Celia Okoyino Da Mbabi's free kick (she's half Nigerian) led to a goalmouth fracas ending in Laudehr's strike.

One should NEVER co-sign on an article they haven't read. So I won't co-sign on this article in Grantland from Carles of Hipster Runoff fame...but maybe read it anyway. Not because it's Carles and his sh*ts always bratty and funny but because maybe if a soccer piece gets good traffic on Grantland they might actually feature it from time to time.

I slept in, because I was at the Gold Cup final, so I've already missed the host country's opening goal.
It was a header, though, by Kristen Garefrekes in the 10th minute. Germany leads, 1-0
19 - Matheson with an outside try at the equalizer. Deflected for a corner, which is cleared.

3:10 p.m. Well, ok, we're not actually at the Rose Bowl yet. Luis and I decided to be environmental and carpool to the game and at this moment, we're stuck in the traffic leading to the stadium parking lots. People are walking past us at a steady clip, going faster than the molasses pace of the crowded cars.

The US National Team were able to book a place in their 4th straight CONCACAF Gold Cup final thanks to a 1-0 win over Panama in Houston. Bob Bradley made the questionable decision of placing Landon Donovan on the bench once again. Some are saying that this decision paid off as the US got the win, however I believe that Donovan should have been playing from the start and maybe we would have won by more.

The Sun-Sentinel.com of Fort Lauderdale posted a short story last night that the FAA has agreed to a 6-month extension of the lease of Lockhart Stadium to the Broward County School District.

As reported here earlier this month, Strikers president Tim Robbie was confident that a deal could be struck with the FAA and that the NASL team located in Fort Lauderdale and who use Lockhart for games and training sessions, would be staying put.

Their Words They are an unbelievable team. The way they play, how they understand their system, and it's nice to play against a team like that.

I work in social media, but when I'm hyper-focused on my job I barely tend to my personal accounts. During these periods, my Facebook wall goes stale, blog traffic falls and Twitter replies die off.

Not surprisingly, when I update my social networks, they come right back to life.

22 years later, there are still families and survivors coming to terms with the unspeakable tragedy they've suffered. There are still many who don't understand the actual causes of the disaster, in part thanks to a major newspaper which continues to traffic in lies. And there are many still fighting for justice and the truth.
