I'm going to vote for Agudelo's goal as goal of the week. I know a lot of people will vote for Juninho's rocket of a goal. But Agudelo's was better in my opinion. He showed great strength against a stong and imposing Hurtado, and that right footed finish with the outside of the foot against Keller, that was well taken. Not to mentioned, it was a game winner.
MLS Notes: Red Bulls cut Ibrahim, Bravo wins award, and more
The New York Red Bulls could be very short-handed at forward this weekend against the Columbus Crew with Juan Agudelo on U.S. national team duty and Thierry Henry nursing an injury. Salou Ibrahim won't be around to offer an alternative after being waived by the Red Bulls on Monday. Ibrahim s...
I'm surprised they cut Chinn as well. He looked good in the few friendlies he played in last year.

Two years! That's it? Charlie is lucky, it could have been a lot worse for him. I'm still shocked that he is playing.
Mid-day Ticker: Blatter to be challenged, Davies' crash driver sentenced and more
By JOHN BOSCHINI For the first time in a decade, Sepp Blatter has a challenger. Mohammad bin Hammam, president of the Asian Football Confederation, ended months of speculation today when he confirmed that he would stand for president of FIFA in this year’s election. Bin Hammam, 61, put hi...
I don't like it. We don't even get a gold cup match in the bay area. The closest it in LA. Meanwhile Mexico seems to play in Oakland a few times a year. I may just have to go watch the Mexico vs Paraguay match just to get my fix.
Report: USA-Spain friendly at Gillette in the works
A long-rumored potential friendly between Spain and the United States is gaining steam after the Boston Globe reported the friendly is being proposed for early June at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. The match has yet to be finalized, but if a deal is completed, the game would mark the rem...
I really need to get a DVR. Looking forward to seeing the Quakes in action. I'm thinking of going to the game, but it has been raining in San Francisco, so I'm not sure how Santa Clara will be.
I'm really happy to see Davies back in action. I actually haven't watched him play since the Conferdeations Cup final against Brazil.
This Weekend's Soccer on TV (and SBI's Top Ten Matches to Watch)
Stuart Holden's dream season at Bolton will next take him to the Theater of Dreams, old Trafford, as the Trotters take on Manchester United in one of the weekend's top matches on TV. This weekend is marked by several high-profile matches for Americans Abroad, but also because this weekend mark...
Why don't they play in a better venue. That field is terrible. Can I get a game in California? It seems like all the US National team friendlies are all on the east coast, and mid west these days.

Can anyone tell me anything about this Dawkins character the Quakes signed? Good?
Western Conference Notes: Portland going after DP, RSL faces injuries & more
By ADAM SERRANO The Portland Timbers are after their first ever Designated Player and would like to do so sooner rather than later. In a radio interview with the Talk Timbers radio program on Portland radio station 95.5 The Game on Wednesday, club owner Merritt Paulson stated that the club ...
Good news! I hope it happens. I didn't like that the US wouldn't get a chance to win in Mexico! I hope it happens in this World Cup cycle.
Hexagonal format for CONCACAF World Cup qualifying likely to remain the same
Photo by ISIphotos.com United States-Mexico World Cup qualifiers might not be a thing of the past after all. CONCACAF officials have submitted a World Cup qualifying plan to the region's executive committee that would keep the current hexagonal format intact. CONCACAF secretary general Chuck B...
I thought Dax played very well against Chile. I don't know why so many people on here hate on him. If the US midfield wasn't so deep, Dax would definitely be in the mix. Good signing on Folan, he impressed me when I used to watch the Hull City games while Altidore was loaned out there.
Thursday Kickoff: Rapids sign Folan, McCarty named United captain and more
By AVI CREDITOR After weeks of speculation, Caleb Folan is finally a member of the Colorado Rapids. The Irish international and former Hull City striker agreed to a deal with the defending MLS Cup champions to improve the team's depth at forward, which will continue to grow when Mac Kandji re...
Yeah, I would have liked Lichaj in the mix. But I have been curious to see this Chandler character, and I have never seen Whitebread.
USMNT roster announced for upcoming friendlies
Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard lead a veteran group of players called in by U.S. national team head coach Bob Bradley for upcoming friendlies against Argentina (March 26th) and Paraguay (March 29th). A full-strength USMNT squad will be featured for the first time since the Unit...
That Borchers goal should have stood. It was only fitting that Saborio scored against his former club. One goal in at Estadio Saprissa would almost seal RSL's ticket to the semi's. But it will be tough.
Espindola leads RSL past Deportivo Saprissa
Real Salt Lake badly needed a convincing victory in its CONCACAF Champions League semifinal first leg against Deportivo Saprissa on Tuesday, and that's what Jason Kreis' squad delivered as RSL posted a 2-0 victory against Saprissa. Fabian Espindola was the star of the show, setting up Alvari...
A couple things I took from the game last night. Montero needs a good forward to partner with. O'Brien White had some moments, but missed some good chances. Most of the time that Montero got in the final third, he had little to no support. Fernandez didn't look good at all, a lot of bad passes from the Uruguayan international. Was Beckham playing? He was slightly better than Fernandez. I think Barrett touched the ball a total of 5 times the whole game. Sounders is a solid backup. LA's defense looked solid as ever, even without Gonzales. They will be tough to break down for most teams.
Galaxy open 2011 with 1-0 win vs. Sounders
The Los Angeles Galaxy went into Tuesday night's MLS season opener against Seattle missing three key starters, but that didn't stop the defending Supporters Shield holders from getting off to a winning start. Brazilian midfielder Juninho blasted the lone goal of the night from long distance ...
Yeah. I didn't like that opening game against Salt Lake last season. I was at Buck Shaw!
Which game are you looking forward to the most, Seattle-LA or RSL-Saprissa?
Photo by David Bernal/ISIphotos.com Major League Soccer's 16th season is set to kick off tonight in Seattle, where the Sounders host the Los Angeles Galaxy in matchup of Western Conference powers (9:30, ESPN/ESPN3.com). That's not the only match of importance on the schedule, though. Almost ...
I'm upset that I will miss most of the RSL-Saprissa match. I have a game tonight, so I'll be able to watch the first half. I really hope Salt Lake has a good match. 3-0 would be ideal. Can't let Saprissa score, because it will be tough in Costa Rica.
As for the LA-Sounders match, I'll be able to watch that when I get home on ESPN360. I'm an Earthquakes fan so I hope LA loses.

I hope to see Lichaj get some minutes in the upcoming friendlies.
Lichaj's Leeds loan lengthened

Ching is hurt again! Man, I feel bad for the guy. I hope he recovers quick. That Bruin kid looks dangerous from what I have seen. A lot faster than he looks too. I'm glad to see Charlie Davies scoring. I hope he can do this during the season.
MLS Weekend Recap: D.C. repeats in Carolina, Ching re-injured and more
Photo by Tony Quinn/ISIphotos.com D.C. United repeated as champions of the Carolina Challenge Cup, sewing up the tournament with a 2-2 draw with Toronto FC on Saturday. Charlie Davies opened the scoring in the 12th minute for D.C. (and followed it up by doing the stanky leg). Dwayne De Rosario...
Let's let Freddy establish himself in Turkey for a while before he get's another call into camp. There is a good interview he did on Extra Time Radio yesterday. Check it out at mlssoccer.com
Americans Abroad: A Look Ahead
By FRANCO PANIZO U.S. national team head coach Bob Bradley is expected to announce the roster for the upcoming friendlies next week, and that means players abroad who are on the fringes will have one more chance to earn a call-up. Ricardo Clark is one of those players. Having recently recovere...
Whatever happens, I hope we see Chris Wondolowski get another call up to camp. I feel he was played in the wrong position during the last friendly. I would like to see Lloyd get another look as well.
Projecting lineups for the upcoming USMNT friendlies
The U.S. national team's longer-than-planned hiatus is set to come to an end soon, with match-ups against South American powers Argentina and Paraguay looming. Bob Bradley hasn't really had a chance to field a full-strength team since last summer's World Cup, but will now have a chance to se...
Marco Pappa is going to be key to the Fire's offense. They will lose him for some time when the Gold Cup starts in June though, as well as Segares.
MLS Season Preview: Chicago Fire
The Chicago Fire enter 2011 coming off one of the worst seasons in club history. For only the second time since its debut season of 1998, the Fire missed the playoffs. That disappointing performance might have led to some other coaches being given the boot, but head coach Carlos De Los Cobo...
I was just about to say that Chicago was having a promising start. Until that straight red to Pause.

Good for him. So the Fire lost him and CJ Brown! I don't even know is back there. Where is Nyarko? And more importantly...where is Dwayne DeRosario?

It is a third kit. Meaning they won't wear it often. Besides, they aren't going to wear red against Costa Rica or T&T.
USMNT to add a RED third jersey
Ever wonder why the U.S. men's national team has gone so long without a red jersey to go with the various white and blue uniforms to come out throughout the years? Wonder no more. The U.S. national team will unveil a red third jersey that will be availabe in April. No details yet on the design...
