Was that a first half to savor or who? Houston was everything the Los Angeles Galaxy was not. While LA looked collectively confused, even panicked, not only did Houston look sharp and organized collectively, every player on orange looked comfortable and switched on to their roles. I gave up watching around the 80th minute, but [...]

Ives has been wrong before, but let’s be honest, he rarely is…and is easily one of the most credible places to go for news in the US soccer world.
But if you don’t believe Ives – the Philadelphia Inquirer works too. We will know the details on February 28th…and this will be your place to go [...]

That, my friends, is rust, leg-locked, bumbling rust. No nice way to say this, the Los Angeles Galaxy looks like crap. Surrendering possession like the French surrendered half their country, miscuing one pass after the next like a drunk on the tenth round, and defending like….holy shit, the right words elude me.

“Tim Timminy, Tim Timminy,Tim Tim Teroo / We’ve got Tim Howard and he says fuck you!”
The Guardian UK’s Steven Wells profiled the Sons of Ben as they await the announcement – which could come any day now (coughendofthemonthcough…). Hell of a good read…
Membership is now 1,200 strong and over 2,500 season ticket ‘intentions’ have [...]

Le Sigh. =(
Fenerbahçe 3 – Sevilla 2

I’ll spare a recap of the game since everyone knows how much I hate [...]
