Complete Italian Serie A 2012 2013 Fixture List is a post from: Serie A Weekly Complete Italian
Serie A 2012 2013 Fixture List is a post from: Serie A Weekly In case you missed it, here it is
again. This list was first published last week. Week 1 & 20 08/28/12 and 13/01/13 Fiorentina
Udinese Juventus Parma AC Milan Sampdoria Roma Catania.
The Serie A 2012-13 fixtures have been finally released and the defending champions Juventus
will begin defence of their title at home to Parma on 25 August.
There will be four breaks on September 9, October 14, December 30 and March 24, and the
pre-Christmas round is on December 23.
Don't look now, but here come the MLS Cup finalists.
After spending much of the season in the middle of the SBI MLS Power Rankings pack, the Houston
Dynamo and Los Angeles Galaxy have ridden unbeaten runs to the fifth and sixth positions,
respectively, in this week's poll.
Houston, undefeated in six and on a three-game winning streak, now sits third in the Eastern
Conference.
With the league's best record on the line, the San Jose Earthquakes came through Saturday in
spectacular fashion.
San Jose, the Supporters' Shield front-runner, rose to the challenge against second-place Real
Salt Lake on Saturday, cruising to a 5-0 win that secured a season sweep of RSL and a firm grasp on
the top spot in this SBI MLS Power Rankings.
Toronto is finally finding their form but will it be enough against New England? (Getty

We are rolling on in July as Major League Soccer heads into Week 19 another busy week to say the
very least.
Last night Toronto edged out rivals Vancouver 3-2 thanks to a late goal. The Whitecaps got a
brace from rookie Darren Mattocks, a guy that may be working his way up the Rookie of the Year
ladder.
After briefly falling on hard times, Real Salt Lake is back in familiar territory.
Dropped to a season-low position of No. 6 in last week's SBI MLS Power Rankings because of a
four-game winless drought, Salt Lake jumped back to third in the new poll thanks to a four-point
week highlighted by Alvaro Saborio's hat trick in a 3-0 triumph over the Portland Timbers on
Saturday.
After back-to-back wins, the Whitecaps are unbeaten in four and have pushed up to the No. 5 slot
in this week's SBI MLS Power Rankings. And to make matters better, Designated Player signing Barry
Robson will finally be eligible to play come June 27.
Sporting Kansas City is still the team to beat in MLS right now, but the San Jose Earthquakes
sure are making things interesting.
While Kansas City suffered its first loss of the season in Portland over the weekend, the
Earthquakes improved to 5-1-1 with a 3-1 triumph over Real Salt Lake, pushing them to No.
With five weeks already having passed in the 2012 MLS season, we at
Stumptown Footy thought we'd switch things up for the Western Conference Weekly. Instead of
providing a short recap of each match, we'll be giving you a rundown of the Western Conference
teams by their order in the standings. Let us know in the comments what you think of the
change!
Will DC and Dallas battle to any goals this year? (Getty Images)
Here we are, at the end of the first month of the season already and by the end of the weekend
we'll be in April. Week 4 in Major League Soccer gets started a little early with a game tomorrow
night in DC with United hosting FC Dallas.
Sporting Kansas City's dismantling of the New England Revolution was a study in how to make full
use of a man advantage, as their attack punished the 10-man Revs on their way to a 3-0 drubbing at
Livestrong Sporting Park.
In a weekend where not every team that enjoyed a man advantage could make the most of it,
Sporting KC provided a textbook example of how to stretch a team open and break down a short-handed
side.
Major League Soccer's opening week is in the books, and while a few team performances are what
stood out the most, there were some individual moments that deserve another look.
A few of the First Kick goals boasted quality right of the gates to help kick off MLS' 17th
season.
Major League Soccer Power Rankings Week 1 March 13, 2012 - The 90th Minute Soccer Blog
It's the first rankings for the 2012 MLS season and a few surprises. Now, keep in mind that
these rankings are not solely on the first weekend of matches but will take into account a variety
of factors.
Not many MLS fans were aware of exactly who Real Salt Lake was picking when the club selected
Sebastian Velasquez in the second round of this past January's MLS SuperDraft. They have a better
idea now.Â
The unheralded Velasquez earned a surprise start and was an integral part of RSL's 3-1 victory
over the defending champion Los Angeles Galaxy Saturday night, winning the season's first SBI MLS
Rookie of the Week honors.
The Portland Timbers kicked off their second season in style, and right winger Kalif Alhassan
had as much to do with that as anybody.
Alhassan had a goal and an assist in the Timbers' 3-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union Monday
night to take home the season's first SBI MLS Player of the Week honors.
The Portland Timbers could not have asked for a much better start to the MLS season.
Playing in the final Week 1 match of the new campaign, the Timbers defeated the Philadelphia
Union, 3-1, on a rainy night inside a packed Jeld-Wen Field. The hosts fell behind early in the
second half, but responded with three unanswered goals from newcomers Andrew Jean-Baptiste, Kris
Boyd and Kalif Alhassan.
Major League Soccer kicked off the 2012 season with several surprise wins and last gasp winners.
Montreal lost its MLS opener, LA suffered a home loss and Andre Hainault gave Houston a win versus
Chivas. Pedro Gomes has the recaps of MLS Week 1:
Vancouver Whitecaps 2, Montreal Impact 0
MLS opened 2012 with a First Kick double dose.
The seventeenth season of Major League Soccer kicks off today as teams from Vancouver to
Washington D.C. begin their new campaigns.
The Montreal Impact will make their debut as the league's 19th team, taking on Canadian rival in
Vancouver. Meanwhile in LA, the Galaxy kick off defending their MLS Cup championship by facing
fellow Western Conference power Real Salt Lake in the day's best match-up.
On the strength of a three-game winning streak, capped by a gutsy 1-0 win at Sporting Kansas
City on Friday, the Fire have jumped to No. 4 in this week's SBI MLS Power Rankings.
Aside from the top-ranked San Jose Earthquakes, the top five teams all hail from the Eastern
Conference, perhaps signifying a shift in power in a league that in recent years has been dominated
by clubs from the West.
In this week's MLS Soccer March to the Match podcast, the extraordinary amount of shot
opportunities for Sporting KC was referenced.
Forward progress....
Cauldron favorite and midfielder Graham Zusi in particular is on a pace for almost 100 shots
taken. As a midfielder this is nothing short of outstanding.
So, it's Friday afternoon, gorgeous outside. Since I put off writing a Western Conference Weekly
this week, because of the Timbers not playing this weekend, I'm doing it now, while the sun is out
and the sky is blue and it's absolutely perfect outside. Clearly Geoff didn't agree to let me write
for Stumptown Footy because of my abundant intelligence.
Real Salt Lake faces serious competition for the top spot in the Western Conference this season,
but they got off to an impressive start in Week 1 by going on the road and defeating the reigning
MLS champions.
Trailing the Los Angeles Galaxy after Edson Buddle scored off a header in the 71st minute, Real
Salt Lake responded with three goals in 17 minutes.
No one likes trying to follow a loss like the one suffered on Saturday. Unfortunately, the show
must go on, and the world of soccer has not stopped to let us be alone with our grief. MLS's
opening weekend has, by and large, been exciting and successful. LA was beaten handily by RSL,
Colorado topped Columbus, SKC squeaked a win over DC, Vancouver took down Montreal in the latter's
MLS debut, and Houston left it late but managed a victory over Chivas.
After the drama on the last day of the season, club football is back on the cards. Transfer has
been the word since last season ended but Euros and then Olympics helped a lot in avoiding the
boring, repetitive, non-sense and self-contradictory imaginations of the football [.

That's slightly down from week 2, but up from week 1. A Friday night slot isn't great, but for
all the people that say that they want MLS to have a bigger salary cap they don't seem to be
watching the games.
