Today is one of the biggest days of the year in America as everyone celebrates Thanksgiving Day. Like many Americans, I'll be spending the day with my family as we spend all day cooking a turkey dinner and baking apple pies. I trust that you'll have a special day too with your friends or loved […]

Yesterday, FIFpro the federation of international football players got involved in MLS' increasingly messy labor dispute by issuing a strongly worded statement which among other things, referred to MLS as a cartel. Do you agree with the MLSPU's decision to engage FIFpro, who has a strong relationship with FIFA as evidenced by many player related […]

The United States Men’s National Team is only months away from competing in its sixth consecutive World Cup. At the same time The US is submitting a bid to host either the 2018 or 2022 World Cups. As has been discussed in many articles on this website, the MLS Players Union has several grievances against […]

Robert Jonas and Kartik Krishnaiyer break down MLS Cup weekend from every angle.

The morning after Liverpool crashed out of the Champions League has seen the club reiterate that Rafa Benitez's position is safe. Not qualifying for the Champions League knock out stage is a big blow for a club that strives for parity at Europe's top table. Throughout this season, Liverpool have struggled in the League and […]

Hello. My name is Fabio Capello. Over the past 18 months, I have been hailed as the savior of English football. Under my stewardship, England easily qualified for the World Cup Finals next year in South Africa. Granted, our qualifying group was fantastically weak, and in our friendlies against other big nations like Spain and […]

This is what I was afraid of. This is the one thing I hoped could’ve been avoided. But sadly it looks like the entire structure of US club soccer has started on the road to self destruction. Some would’ve said Major League Soccer is on life support by now, but who would’ve thought it would […]

Ah, Gary Megson, never a manager to pass the blame on to anyone else for his own shortcomings, has decided that today he would announce that certain players are trying to destabilise the club. After watching Sundays performance, I don't blame them, they look a team with no self confidence, no belief and no faith […]

One wonders what the fallout will be from the disconcerting television ratings of MLS Cup, especially considering the LA Galaxy have possibly the greatest tandem of professional soccer players to ever play together on the same U.S. club team, ever. Speculating, who knows, this potential greatest tandem hyperbole could stick for the next 50 years. Add to the […]

Well, you wonder if sanity has left the South Coast this summer at Portsmouth, with weird takeovers, scraping around for signings, the chief executive being charged with tax evasion, another takeover, being banned from signing due to unpaid debts and now Paul Hart being moved out of the managers seat. What have the Pompey faithful […]

MLS Talk's Chris Riordan will be speaking with the DC United man. Leave your questions here.

Oh, Martin Skrtel. Since Sami Hyypia left, I've been cheering for Srktel to score from a corner or free kick. I've seen some sweet goals from Agger. I've even seen Carragher score (and he's only scored 5 in 594 matches). In the pub, we used to yell for Sami Hyypia to put one back whenever […]

Totti was a star in the 3-1 win over Bari For Italian soccer fans, the international break was excruciating. The national team had two friendlies (which Arsenal fans would not consider too friendly) and watched to see who else would qualify from Europe. Thankfully, the action from this weekend was exciting enough to make up […]

For the last week we heard about the great 2009 for Major League Soccer. Please pardon me, while I take a step back from Don Garber’s rhetoric and raise the ugly side of 2009 in American soccer. I will not dispute that this summer appeared to be the tipping point for the sport in the […]
