Covering La Liga from far away as we've been doing for the past 6 months like we have on forza futbol, we tend to see things antiseptically, second hand or translated and repackaged to fit another culture or another way of seeing things, whether it's to reach the ex-pat Spaniard, the curious Brit or the […]

A bitter disappointment I must admit for those of us hoping for a deep run from MLS' lone representative in the competition. United fought valiantly but was eliminated 2-2 on away goals. I can't help but wonder how ironic it is that this event used the away goal rule which could have advanced Houston instead […]

The rumor mill on the Guardian website is reporting that Sunderland manager Roy Keane, a longtime teammate of David Beckham's with Manchester United is trying to lure Becks to the Northeast of England. Beckham is of course under contract with the LA Galaxy but does anyone seriously think that despite their denials, the Galaxy wouldn't […]

Juggling three kids, a full-time job and all of the boring aspects of life (getting a haircut, picking up or dropping off drycleaning, getting an oil change, etc), you may find yourself in a similar predicament to me where midweek matches become quite a chore. If only […]

For all the bluster this year about Major League Soccer's rebirth thanks to David Beckham, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, a new TV deal and Superliga we have recieved in the past several weeks probably the best news yet for the league in perhaps its twelve year history. Attendance this season has held steady even when American Football […]

The challenge, however, is that not everyone has satellite (either […]

At the conclusion of the most recent La Liga season, the amount of interest in the premier Spanish league was perhaps the greatest it has ever been worldwide (and that includes the United States). However, the continuing media war in Spain is crippling La Liga's chances of building a worldwide brand and, at the same […]

In front of what was probably the most lively crowd at an MLS match in sometime, if ever Chicago gave away a lead for the third straight match and Manager Juan Carlos Osorio lost his temper and was shown off the bench by the officials. The match was tense as Cuauhtemoc Blanco, a long time […]
