I put together this chart to determine what a single table, no playoff MLS would have looked like each season since 1996. I re-figured the rankings for the 1999-1999 period without shootouts and for 2000 without overtime victories, so the rankings I have do not correspond directly with the official final standings. This is still […]

The Times of London is reporting that Sunil Gulati and Bob Bradley met with Fabio Capello, the ex-Real Madrid and Juventus Manager in London. The fact that Bradley was at the meeting so clearly his job is not under threat. It must be assumed that the Federation is either talking to Capello about being a […]

La Liga kicks off this weekend and I am going to highlight three games. We start things off with a bang as the Madrid derby sees Real host Atlético. It has been revealed that new signings Arjen Robben and Gabriel Heinze will not make their Real Madrid debuts despite my feeling that at least Heinze […]

In what has to be seen as a huge move, FC Dallas one of the best teams in MLS has signed 2002 World Cup winner Denilson. The 29 year old Brazilian midfielder was for my money the best player for his country in France 1998 where Brazil reached the finals and also contributed to Brazil's […]

David Beckham is the ultimate football ambassador and the ultimate competitor. But the reliance of his country and his club on him has led the not fully fit superstar to a breaking point which was obvious in the dying minutes of the Galaxy's 3-0 LA derby loss to Chivas USA last night. David Beckham's globe […]

Denilson, a starter on Brazil's 2002 World Cup winning team signed with FC Dallas as a "Beckham Rule" player Thursday.

This is the first in a series of quick profiles of some of the clubs involved in this year's Champions League. We start with a look at defending Ligue Une champions Olympique Lyonnais. As in past seasons, Lyon have watched some of their top talents leave for "bigger" clubs (though higher wages and lower taxes […]

Well Fulham seems to have a quota of Americans. when one (Brian McBride) goes down, they sign another. (Kasey Keller).

(Note: I had originally written that Emerson had moved to Inter Milan, thanks to Mr. Bobby McMahon of Fox Soccer Channel for pointing out my mistake. Emerson had been rumoured to be moving to Inter but ended up with rivals AC instead. My apologies for the mistake.) Not content with the signings they've already made, […]

Well Jaime Moreno finally did it. He is now officially the all time leading scorer in the history of Major League Soccer with 109 goals. The Bolivian International who captains DC United scored on a penalty kick in the second half of United's 3-1 win over Red Bull NY.

By John Nicholson If you're an England fan, then I will be telling you what you already know, England are in a crisis. I don't use the c word very often because in modern day media, a crisis can be anything from a full blown terrorist attack to the local store selling out of bread. […]

Beasley was tremendous today/Fox Sports You can't fault the US National Team for effort, but once again our national team looked terribly outclassed by a European side on European soil. The U.S. backline was once again burnt repeatedly on the counter attack, and if it were not for some outstanding goalkeeping by Tim Howard, the […]

Brian Ching failed a fitness test for today's US match versus Sweden. Landon Donovan will likely have to play forward now for the US side.

Josh Gros suffered yet another concussion Saturday night for DC United against Columbus. The Washington Post reports that Gros could be out for the season, and the club is sending him to see a neurologist. The Dallas Morning News reports FC Dallas is prepared to part company with Trinidad and Tobago World Cup keeper Shaka […]
