I apologize for not posting the extensive coverage of MLS Cup we did a year ago. I have had some personal family health issues to deal with the past few days as well as an extensive work schedule. I should have my thoughts on the MLS Cup which I did not see live but did […]

Don Garber as always has been conducting a major charm offensive as MLS Cup approaches. But as someone who has watched the league since its inception I’ve become numb or even totally immune to the league’s propaganda.

Great second half goals for Kenny Cooper and Freddy Adu pace the United States. Both players showed their quality tonight and surely left an impression on Bob Bradley. But the real excitement was elsewhere in CONCACAF. Mexico's lack of composure, and unsporting play took a turn for the worse tonight as Carlos Vela deliberetely tried […]
