Until Saturday's match versus RSL, Dwayne De Rosario was a good pickup for DC United. The team was playing better with him in the lineup and he gave them an offensive spark that they had lacked with Dax McCarty. Then on Saturday night he took it to a new level. First he fed Andy Najar […]

What is it about Arsenal? In just one 24-hour news cycle on Monday, we learned that Robin van Persie didn't want to discuss signing a new contract at the club, setting off alarm bells around Emirates Stadium after the recent Fabregas and Nasri episodes. On top of that bad news was the injury update regarding […]

Imagine Major League Soccer as a city nightlife. In this scenario, the Western Conference is a high-priced club: VIP room for the high rollers, a separate section for those wishing they were the high-rollers (or convince the media/opposite sex they could be), and those on the outside waiting in line for a gift entrance from […]

There is always that love/hate that people have with EA Sports games. People love it because they know that when EA makes a game, you are going to get almost everything you could ever imagine in a sports game. The license, the players and so on. And then, there are the things that you hate […]

After a lackluster home effort against San Jose in which the Portland Timbers were lucky to escape with a point in a 1-1 draw, Portland would make a move up in the standings if they could get a road victory against the New York Red Bulls this past Saturday. It was there for the taking, […]

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooKip0Kz7B4 Once again a dark cloud hovered over the New York Red Bulls with two major goals hanging over them Saturday night. First was how to get three points against a dangerous side (Portland Timbers), who were ahead of them in the playoff standings. And second was to move on past the controversial comments made […]

Today presents us with a unique opportunity to look at two clubs who often have been overlooked so far this season: Queens Park Rangers against Aston Villa (11am ET/4pm BST). I say overlooked because they often play at the same time as other matches, and it's often difficult to give all teams our 100% concentration. […]

Although the red and blue halves of Manchester have burst out of the gates like a Grand National winner, the Premier League is a marathon, not a sprint. Accordingly, it would be the epitome of folly to write off Chelsea’s championship drive at such an early stage. Especially when one considers that they are a […]

Manchester City found a way through at Etihad Stadium against a venerable Everton group, earning the 2-0 victory and a share of first place in the Barclays Premier League. City set up in the same formation they've used in the league since the close of the transfer window. It's 4-2-2-2, marked by no wide players […]

While watching the match on television today between AC Milan and Cesena, I couldn't help but notice this banner that was caught on camera during half-time. The banner features a racy image of a blonde wearing an AC Milan kit. But does anyone know what the slogan is? My Italian isn't that good.

As promised, here is the second half of this weekend's preview, where we review the late games Saturday night and the one Sunday game. Colorado Rapids v. San Jose Earthquakes (Saturday, 9 PM ET) This game may be the hardest to predict this weekend. It is no longer unthinkable that Colorado could fall out […]

The question I wrestled with in my head last night was this: if there were no playoffs or a playoffs with just four teams instead of 10, would this weekend be as exciting? Regardless of how you feel about the playoff format or the playoffs in general, the answer I came up with was YES. […]
