There has been plenty of fast-paced action in MLS over the last month -- most of it coming along the transaction wire. Familiar faces are returning (Pat Noonan to Columbus and Brian McBride to Chicago), while league All-Stars have departed (Brad Guzan and Juan Toja). On Monday, though, the Los Angeles Galaxy proved that it's not just the current ...

After a month-long hiatus, we're back ... and shocked to discover that Spaniards are now ruling the world.  First the Spanish national team dominates Germany in the Euro 2008 championship to win the country's first European title in 44 years.Then Rafael Nadal survives an incredible 5-set match against Roger Federer to capture ...

Apologies for the delay in posting this week's blog, but we were just trying to gather our shock from Steve Morrow's sacking with FC Dallas. We could maybe understand if it had been Tommy Soehn in D.C. given how underwhelming that team has performed thus far.

However, we're also here to remind you that the MLS season is a very long one, and one performance (either by a team ...

With less than a week remaining, everyone is starting to have First Kick jitters. Hope springs eternal for players, coaches, management and especially fans. Real Salt Lake has the same exact record as two-time defending champions Houston Dynamo right now. D.C. United is in a seven-way tie for first place in the Eastern Conference. But once that ...

Cocky. That's what we were. We committed the cardinal Survivor sin last week: Never pick a team that is playing in a rivalry match. So, in taking FC Dallas to win last week -- yep, you guessed it -- the ''Survivor Experts'' have now been eliminated from their own game.
