Salihi with the poachers nose!!! DC is in mix for 2nd place!!!
MLS Match Day: Your Running Commentary
In a game with massive playoff implications, the New York Red Bulls will host the Chicago Fire today in a nationally-televised match. With the two teams tied for second place in the Eastern Conference, a playoff preview could be in store at Red Bull Arena this afternoon. One of the clubs coul...
At some point or another, DC United would have to learn how to play soccer without DeRo doing EVERYTHING for them!!! There are some very good individual parts in DC besides DeRo, and if they can figure out a way to finally integrate Hamdi Salihi and Branco Boscovic as starters, then I think ya got a team that can create some noise in the playoffs. It appears that DC United (post-DeRo) has adopted the "do what it takes to get the job done" fighting mentality that head coach Ben Olsen built his own soccer career upon.
SBI MLS Team of the Week: D.C. United
The past week wasn' exactly a lesson in beautiful soccer for D.C. United, but for a team that recently lost reigning league MVP Dwayne DeRosario to an injury, finding a way to generate vital results in the thick of a playoff race is beautiful in its own right. Riding some tough defending and...
What a difference Cherundolo and Bocanegra make. Those two have solidified their place going forward in my mind. Dolo really is one of our best players! And Bocanegra always shows he has a calming influence on the backline. Great captain work from Bocanegra tonight!
Gomez goal propels USMNT to crucial World Cup qualifying win vs. Jamaica
photo by John Todd/ISIphotos.com By FRANCO PANIZO COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The U.S. men's national team got back on track in their road to the 2014 World Cup on Tuesday night and they did so with one of their more dominating performances under U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Four days after suffer...
Anywhere would be a good move for Edu. The guy is young and skilled at multiple positions...Why wouldn't Stoke want him?
McCoist alludes to potential Stoke City move for Edu
Maurice Edu and Geoff Cameron teamed together in central defense to do their part in the U.S. men's national team's first-ever win on Mexican soil last week. It appears as if the two may be joining forces much more frequently for the foreseeable future. According to Rangers manager Ally McCo...
Jagielka really saved the day there!
Everton 1, Manchester United 0: Match Highlights
This is Dody Fayeed's fault!!! Instead of giving Dempsey what he wants which is to spend some more and make the club into a Champions League team, he is going to let the talisman and fan favorite just walk away like he is nothing. Fulham owes everything to Dempsey! They should have some more ambition and try to break into the top 5. In order to do that, you have to stop being so damm cheap!!!!
Reports: Dempsey fined by Fulham
The inevitiable end to Clint Dempsey's Fulham career is starting to get ugly. According to reports from England, the club has fined Dempsey an undisclosed amount for refusing to play in Saturday's season opener against Norwich City. This comes hours after Fulham manager Martin Jol claimed th...
Clearly, we need to continue to stick with Breck Shea and his development. They guy has loads of potential to really be something special. He is in a funk in Dallas, but once he leaves there and gets a change of scenery, he will be fine! Kudos to Klinsmann for continuing to stick with him.
USA vs. Mexico: Match Night Commentary
The U.S. Men's National Team takes on arch-rival Mexico tonight at Estadio Azteca, and the U.S. will be looking to become the first Americans to beat 'El Tri' on Mexican soil when the square off in a rare friendly in Mexico City (8pm, ESPN2). The Americans will be trying to snap a four-m...

USMNT attempts to conquer Azteca
Photo by ISIphotos.com It is the U.S. men's national team's house of horrors, one of the more daunting places to play around the world. And it looms Wednesday night. The U.S. men's national team has never won at the storied Estadio Azteca, and despite bringing a less-than-full-strength squ...
Wouldn't it be funny if Alan Gordon scores in Azteca? ;)
Chandler cites schedule and travel as reasons for latest USMNT snub
photo by John Dorton/ISIphotos.com There was yet another turn in the Timmy Chandler-U.S. men's national team saga on Monday, but it is not one unfamiliar to American soccer fans. According to a German report, Chandler was called up for the United States' Wednesday friendly against Mexico at Az...
Yeah, I guess you are right. We probably would prefer Alan Gordon to get hit in the face with D batteries and bags of urine than Clint Dempsey... ;)
USMNT Notes: Chandler uncommitted, Klinsmann discusses roster and more
photo by Floria Eisele/ISIphotos.com By FRANCO PANIZO If there was any lingering uncertainty as to the real reason Timmy Chandler turned downed cap-tying call-ups the past two summers, U.S. men's national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann put them to rest on Sunday. Speaking via a conference ca...
Is Klinsmann an idiot? No disrespect to Alan Gordon, but he is no Chris Pontius!!!
Gordon added to USMNT roster for Mexico friendly
Alan Gordon's penchant for late-game heroics have saved the San Jose Earthquakes a number of times this season, and they have now also helped earn the forward a call-up to the U.S. men's national team. U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann added Gordon to the roster that will take on Mexico in a ra...
Auf wiedersehen!!! Timmy Chandler is such a liar!!! We all know now, that him being tired was not the real reason he did not play these past two summers! He was just scamming us all along! Good luck getting p/t with Germany! I suppose we wont be seeing you after all in Brazil! R.I.P.

Chris Pontius delivers another decisive goal for DC United. Klinsmann should be calling him in at some point.

Cahill’s potential impact on the Red Bulls
BY DAVE MARTINEZ The New York Red Bulls have long been on the hunt for an attacking midfielder. The last steady offensive distributor for the team left in 2006. His name? Amado Guevara. Since the Honduran’s departure, many have attempted to fill in the role for New York with little success t...

D.C. United Notes: Club set for Houston heat, off-field issues subside and more

Bob Bradley should get the hell out of there. He does not have anything to prove. The whole world can see he is a very good manager. Egypt will not be his last stop. I just hope he does not return to CONCACAF.

Klinsmann wants USMNT players nastier, less naive
By FRANCO PANIZO LANDOVER, Md. -- U.S. men's national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann sat at the table in the press conference room at FedEx Field on Saturday night without his usual cheerful smirk. Instead, he sported a stern look as he prepared to speak to the several dozens of reporters ...
As much as I like him as a player, Danny Koevermans is out of line for his comment. First of all Toronto is NOT "the worst team in the world." Secondly, what kind of leader says such a thing? He knew they were re-building when he signed, and the team is rather young and still trying to figure out the scheme that Winters is trying to instill. Koervermans should stay quiet and just play ball...
SBI MLS Power Rankings: Week 11
Things have just gone from bad to worse for the Los Angeles Galaxy. With their first loss to SuperClasico rival Chivas USA in five years, the Galaxy dropped to 3-6-2 and dead last in the Western Conference. And if they're going to climb back up the standings, they'll have to begin doing so wit...

Although I think this is a good trade for both teams, Hans Backe will not be back next year.
Soler: Agudelo pushed for trade
BY DAVE MARTINEZ When the time came to pull a trigger on a trade sending away Juan Agudelo, the ultimate push to make a trade happen came from none other than Agudelo himself. That is the contention of team General Manager Erik Soler as he discussed the details of the young striker’s trade ...
