On March 19, the Columbus Crew dejectedly walked out of RFK Stadium in Washington on the wrong side of a 3-1 game. The team allowed two Charlie Davies goals (one a penalty kick) and looked outclassed, out played, and in for a long season. The result came after they were shown the door from the […]

Tonight's DC United/Toronto match-up was evenly matched on paper. Both teams were in the middle of the Eastern Conference, rebuilding after disappointing seasons last year, and had new coaches building their team in their own image. Once the whistle blew, however, the discrepancy between the two teams on this night could not have been bigger. […]

Fabian Espindola knocked in a loose rebound late in stoppage time to give Real Salt Lake a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids and a leg-up in the 2011 Rocky Mountain Cup. Espindola also gave MLS fans the only goal of the evening, as the other match between the Los Angeles Galaxy and Toronto FC […]

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 […]

Team: Toronto FC Coach: Aron Winter Last Year's Finish: 9-8-15, 35 points. Eastern Conference: 5th Toronto's offseason can be described in one word – tumultuous. The team couldn't win the media cycle because every time it had a positive offseason development, it took a step back. They brought on Jurgen Klinsmann to serve as an […]

Our long national nightmare is over. The MLS schedule is out. About a month before the beginning of the season, MLS finally released the entire schedule for all 18 MLS teams. Previously, only each team's first home game was known, and some clubs like the LA Galaxy got an early jump on releasing the schedule […]

The rumor mill was in full tilt Tuesday with the news that national team member Charlie Davies was sent by his French club Sochaux to train with D.C. United in Florida, with a successful training leading to a year-long loan. Yesterday, the Black-and-Red confirmed Davies was in camp and was being given a fitness tryout […]

If you're like me, the holidays are a time of getting out of your workday routines due to relaxation/travel/stress. In fact, at times I miss news stories because I tend not to check news sites or Twitter as much as I normally do. So as I begin my work week routine again, I notice that […]

Toronto FC is the type of club that MLS would love to be successful. They have a loyal and dedicated fan base, Toronto is a growing soccer market that hosted the 2008 All Star Game, and the team has a good core of players almost made a playoff run last year. Despite all this, the […]

The cold days of winter have gotten a little sunlight – MLS today unveiled their schedule for "First Kick 2011", the first home games for every MLS team in the upcoming season. The week will be the first week of the new balanced scheduling and offers some tantalizing match-ups for American soccer fans. First up […]

Last year, after Portsmouth fired Avram Grant, the rumor mill began to churn that his next move would be to MLS, specifically New York. The former Israeli and Chelsea manager seemed like a good fit for an American club, having had much success in the Israeli league and needing a change of scenery after an […]

Have you ever questioned rooting for a team? It doesn't even have to be a soccer team – maybe you watch pro football or baseball, and your hometown/local team is just bad. Because you love the sport and the team, you support it through think and thin and you buy season tickets even though that […]

Chicago Fire traveled to Toronto the day before Mother’s Day looking to extend their 3 game unbeaten run to 4 games but it was former Fire player Chad Barrett that ruined the trip north of the border. The Fire may have thought that points on the road were possible at BMO Field and looked forward […]

Chad Barrett unleashed a force which is a sportsblogger's (writer's) dream today. Not only did he produce 2 goals against the Chicago Fire, he produced instant corny material to be used in titles for articles. On a more serious note, the performance put on by Toronto FC today was a combination of luck, hard work […]

Last week's news around the Internet that GolTV was the subject of a possible takeover was misguided. Yes it's true that a deal between MLSE and GolTV looks imminent. However, MLSE is only interested in GolTV Canada, which operates separately from GolTV in the United States. MLSE (Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment), owners of Toronto […]
