Bizarro MLS
By: Dave Martinez |Through 5 weeks of the MLS season, one would have to wonder if things have been scripted by DC Comics.
Its Bizarro World folks. And there is no denying it.
+ The Columbus Crew are in first place
+ Will Hesmer leads all keepers with 4 wins
+ DC United is in last place
+ The Dynamo are in [...]
Week Five Recap: I am terrible at predicting the future
By: travis |So I’m not going to quit my day job. Over the past four weeks, I’ve proved completely useless at knowing the outcome of MLS matches. Considering I’m not psychic, I’ll have to live with that fact. Which is fine by me. I can live with not being psychic.
That’s enough about me. As for the past [...]
Week Five Preview: It’s still early
By: travis |This weekend marks the end of the first month of MLS. And while a number of teams have struggled who we didn’t expect to (DC, Houston) and a number of teams have had unexpected success (Toronto, San Jose), it’s only the first month. There are still lots of games to be played, lots of ugly [...]

Week Four Recap: Can I spell Unpredictable?
By: travis |Another weekend, another string of results that shocked me. No offense to San Jose, but I didn’t see them winning any games anytime soon, and to stick two goals on the supposedly resurgent Rapids was definitely impressive. Toronto got their second win in a row in front of a massive crowd. It would be nice [...]
Week Four Preview: Football. Futbol. Soccer.
By: travis |Welcome to the fourth weekend of MLS action. Lots of craziness so far this season as each week has been as unpredictable as the last one. So you might say that it has been a predictably unpredictable season thus far. Regardless of that, a lot of teams won last week that I didn’t predict. Shame [...]
Quote of the Day: Why Soccer Won’t Work in America
By: Laurie |“The fact is, I think, that soccer doesn’t fit the taste of the American sports fan, who likes a finite chance of success or failure on every play,” Steinberg said. “It doesn’t have the type of pacing, like a lot of scoring. There is continuous play without scoring and the game is not susceptible to [...]
Week Three Recap: Away gains
By: travis |Well, finally. An away team with a victory, and it was the early game. The Revolution battered KC at Community America Ballpark, becoming the first team to grab three points away from home. That, plus a oops! my bad moment for Brad Guzan of Chivas USA. Those kind of mistakes will kill you in the [...]
