If you’ve checked out the site for the last two days, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that we have embarked on a new series. Robert Hay approached some of the frequent contributors to MLS Talk (Daniel Feuerstein, Kristan Heneage, and myself) with the idea for a daily preview leading up to the new season. While we all considered this to be an extensive undertaking, we decided it was well worth the effort to engage our readership and give them a taste of what to expect.

So we’re planning to go through, team-by-team, as we wait in anticipation for MLS First Kick set for Tuesday, March 15 when Seattle Sounders host the LA Galaxy. We will also have a few posts dedicated to issues impacting Major League Soccer at this juncture in the league’s history, and we’d welcome suggestions from readers in this vein. At the end of the series, we’ll come together and and give some overall predictions for the 2011 MLS season.

We hope you enjoy this trip through the table!
