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. Preki would have been another option given the preseason expectations for Chivas USA, ...

The New England Revolution have a target on their respective backs. The Buffalo Bills of MLS have been Eastern Conference Champions for the last three consecutive years, but have been unable to get over the hump to win the MLS Cup. What Steve Nicol and Paul Mariner have been able to do in New England is no small feat. Do you know the last time ...

We wanted to take this week to expand upon Landon Donovan's incredible first month of the season (one of the best in recent memory by MLS standards) and how he has lifted our fantasy team to the top of its league, but that's the other guy's column. Our job in helping you find your way through Survivor Pro is much more ...

We've decided that it would be best not to dwell on last week's results and just look ahead to this week's upcoming matches. We'd like to blame the unusual weekend weather -- 44 degrees in Kansas City on Saturday, 89 degrees in Carson, Calif. on Sunday -- but there's no excuses. We can't even blame it on the rain (yeah, yeah). There are seven ...

The first weekend of the MLS season is officially in the books and it's safe to say that it has not exactly turned out the way some may have expected. If you were fortunate enough to make it through the first five matches with one predicted victory intact for Survivor Pro, consider it an accomplishment. Here's what we saw in some of the ...

The short answer to the above question is: something, but not everything. After one weekend of MLS action, you've had a chance to ingest and digest quite a lot of soccer information and we're here to help you sort through it all. 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 ...

Step right up! Step right up! Test your hand at a one-of-a-kind game that involves a little bit of knowledge and a whole lot of luck. The name of the game is Survivor Pro and it's real easy to play -- but a little bit tougher to master. Here's all that you need to do: Pick consecutive winners, build a streak, win prizes. Easy, right? We know ...

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. But that's not going to stop us from advising you on some picks throughout the ...
