MLS could not have asked for a better opening weekend of soccer than this weekend. After a somewhat pedestrian first match between the Galaxy and Sounders, there were a ton of story lines to follow in this weekend's games. While it may be a lot to ask for every weekend to be this exciting (although […]

Breaking this weekend was the surprising news that 2010 MLS MVP candidate Edson Buddle was poised to make his long-discussed move overseas. What made it surprising was that the move was not to Birmingham City, which is where he had long been rumored to go, but to FC Ingolstadt, a Bundesliga 2 club that is […]

Recently my computer ran into a series of issues that has rendered it incapacitated and made me realize its place in my life. It loads slowly and lacks many of the modern amenities in many computers, but when working properly it is has enough memory to run fairly quickly and is perfect for the tasks […]

The story of the MLS playoffs coming into Sunday night was the futility of being a higher seed. None of the higher seeds had advanced and the playoffs were seemingly wide-open for a new champion. Then LA took the pitch against Seattle, and they showed the league who should be the favorites for the MLS […]

With San Jose's dramatic victory last night, they will await this weekend's slate of matches to see who their next round opponent will be. Their upset victory has set the stage for an interest weekend of matches where we could conceivably see three more lower seeds win their playoff matches and once again throw the […]

Chris Wondolowski has had a dream season. He finally broke out this year with a league-leading 18 goals and almost single-handedly led San Jose to the playoffs, where they will try and pull out a win at New York tonight. He has shown the ability to score and lead a team, and with the national […]

In a post-game interview after last night’s All-Star game, Landon Donovan said "We have had transfer interest and we will have some time to think about it and see where it goes. There is interest from a number of teams." To be explicit, what Donovan said he is going to Europe, and it is not […]

No Donovan. No Buddle. No Beckham. No problem. The L.A. Galaxy continued their astounding early season form this evening with a 4-1 bulldozing of the Houston Dynamo this evening at the Home Depot Center. The Galaxy continued their absolutely torrid pace and are still undefeated with 10 wins and 2 draws for 2010. In the […]

The Los Angeles Galaxy today announced that they are going to host Champions League Cup winners Inter Milan at a friendly at the Home Depot Center on August 7. While only 18,000 people came out to see the Galaxy play Boca Juniors over the weekend, this game could probably sell 75,000 seats if the […]

After completing two convincing road wins against Colorado and Seattle last week, the Los Angeles Galaxy have continued a simply jaw-dropping beginning of the 2010 season. Although the Galaxy are on the brink of losing Landon Donovan and (probably) Edson Buddle to the World Cup after Saturday’s game at home against Toronto, they have […]

With his announcement this week that David Beckham will not recover from his ruptured Achilles heel in time to play for the Galaxy this season, both Beckham and the Galaxy find themselves at a crossroads. For Beckham, it is a series of dour options, but for the Galaxy, the opportunities are decidedly more intriguing. With […]

There is a world-wide assumption that, when it comes to a ball, Americans can only throw and catch while Brazilians can do the samba with the ball at their feet and never miss a step. Every time a Brazilian joins a MLS team, the fans greet those players like time-travelers from the future, eager to […]

From Liverpool, we are reading quotes from Everton FC manager David Moyes saying that a strike means Landon Donovan would stay at Everton. "The loan officially finishes tomorrow and we will send him back but I think there is still a chance that the players there might strike and if that was the case then […]

Reports in England confirm that Everton is talking to Major League Soccer and the Los Angeles Galaxy about extending Landon Donovan's loan. The original loan deal sending Donovan to Liverpool was for ten weeks, putting the league's Most Valuable Player back in Los Angeles before the club kicks off their season on March 27 at […]

The UEFA Champions League(UCL) knockout phase is underway. It's not an exaggeration to suggest that it attracts a global audience and captivates fans with competition that features many of the greatest players in the game. When I was just beginning my journey of becoming a soccer fan(2003), I was struck by the emphasis that was […]
