Soon, surely. Still a bit young and raw in Klinsmann's eyes probably. But having a great year. He must be being watched at least.
Klinsmann unveils 24-man roster, omits Altidore and Boyd among others
Photo by ISIphotos.com By FRANCO PANIZO U.S. men's national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has released the 24-man roster that will aim to attempt to reach the final round of World Cup qualifying, and there are surprises aplenty. Sacha Kljestan, Eddie Johnson and Alan Gordon were among the ...
New England paying the least - imagine that.
MLS salaries for league newcomers are out
The Major League Soccer Player's Union updated the listing of MLS players salaries earlier today, and shed some light on just how much the league's newcomers are costing. From million-dollar strikers Kenny Miller and Marco DiVaio, to centerbacks making between $200K an $300K like Arne Friedr...
Exciting to see Atlanta make some progress in acquiring Wynalda. It could be a good market given the write influence and hope to see the success of these players transfer to the NASL.
Cal FC trio signs with Wynalda's Silverbacks
Eric Wynalda's Cal FC influence on the Atlanta Silverbacks is becoming a little more noticeable. Just a week after taking over as interim manager of the NASL club, Wynalda has brought three of his stalwarts from Cal FC's U.S. Open Cup team along with him to Atlanta. The club announced the si...
I honestly feel the Union has been the best team I've watched with no wins. Still finding out their formation and gelling...but some definite promise.
And yes, I hope the Revs can get something going as well; some pretty play in pre-season, so hopefully coming home will allow them to relax on the ball.
Still...East is nothing compared to West...sigh.
Which struggling Eastern Conference team is most likely to turn things around?
Photo by Brad Smith/ISIphotos.com Three Eastern Conference teams with serious postseason aspirations. Six games. No wins. That's far from how the New York Red Bulls, Philadelphia Union and D.C. United planned on starting a season filled with promise and hope. For the Red Bulls, the club has ...
Ah yes, that game REPORTED 66238...but who all actually showed up? Not sure. Still think Seattle's feat is more impressive as it wasn't result of a "big signing".
Note: Not part of ECS and Seattle's following, but definitely respect their org.!
Impact hoping to break record in home opener
When the Montreal Impact play their first home game as an MLS team on Saturday, a crowd of over 46,500 is expected to attend. That is not enough for the Impact, as they want to break a record. Set to play their home opener against the Chicago Fire on Saturday, Montreal has added 2,000 seats to...
For regular season (and actually overall), it has to be Kasey Keller's final regular season game with Seattle last year: 64140.
Imagine MLS Cup 2002 in New England was close. They were one of the teams, so they had just over 61,000 - hence why I love MLS letting the team in the final with the better record host.

Adding 2,000 only does good if they fill them. But nearing 50,000 is an achievement of its own; fantastic for the league. I think they'd have a better chance if it wasn't Chicago (no offense; good team, but no marquee names), but perhaps it being the first ever MLS game for the city they can read it...but I do think it's asking a bit much.

And agreed with most, we need to keep some style consistent - similar to have Brazil only use plain yellow top, England white top, etc. I don't mind the sash at all, some historical value - but it'd be nice to keep it going than change it up. Hoops...mehhh.
Is this the new USMNT away jersey?
There have been a few new U.S. men's national team jersey leaks making their way around the internet on various online shopping sites, but there has been one in particular that carries some legitimate weight. The jersey pictured above was listed on the online shop for Nike, the official outf...
I prefer it over the home kit... Not a fan of the hoops

Vancouver is shaping up quite well this season... It seems they could be on the opposite end of the table compared to last year this coming season.
Excited to see Hassli + Le Toux working together.
Whitecaps sign Middlesbrough's Robson as Designated Player
Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie has made no secret of his desire for a ball-winning central midfielder, and he may have found the man for the job. According to reports, the Whitecaps will sign Middlesbrough midfielder Barry Robson on a free transfer once the Championship season co...
This is the most Liga-biased thing ever, and by L'Equipe?! C'mon.
Vidic is quality, but def would not include him in this year's team. And Marcelo?! Def not the best LB...not even top 3 for me. RvP a definite snub...
Who makes your 2011 Team of the Year?
French publication L'Equipe named its 2011 Team of the Year recently, and as you might expect, Barcelona dominated the selections with six players on the team. LIonel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo headline the squad, which includes a total of eight players from La Liga and two players from the...
I can't help but think Lampard will stay and retire at Chelsea. Much like Giggs has become a part of United.
Which potential DP do you want to see in MLS in 2012?
Omar Bravo is gone. David Beckham could be gone. Nicolas Anelka isn't coming. The Designated Player landscape in MLS is changing and evolving, and even with teams having the flexibility to go after younger DP options or giving players like league veteran Shalrie Joseph a DP deal, the lure of...
Valbuena's goal was a thing of class.
Borussia Dortmund 2, Marseille 3: Match Highlights
Yayyy CONCACAF refereeing... So awful.
Morelia 2, Los Angeles Galaxy 1: Match Highlights
I believe it was May 6, 1998: Los Angeles 7-4 win over the Colorado Rapids.
I don't think there has been a game that high since...could be wrong.
Philadelphia 4, New England 4: Match Highlights
Yeah, I truly hope to see him not rushed back just because Bolton aren't getting results...
But it'll be interesting to see if Holden can play WITH Torres under Klinsmann...it could help create the much need offense and end product we've been lacking as of late.
Holden continues comeback with latest appearance for Bolton reserves
Stuart Holden passed his second test. Holden started and played 65 minutes in Bolton's 1-1 draw with Rochdale (Bolton won 6-5 in penalties) in a reserve match on Wednesday in rainy conditions. Playing in front of U.S. national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Holden emerged unscathed and is...
As an Arsenal fan, it would be nice to have a fighter and proven player come add depth to our squad. However, as a USMNT supporter, I think it would hinder his playing time and performance for national team games. If he comes to AFC, which is HIGHLY unlikely, I would love to finally have a Yank to support. However, I really don't see Arsenal buying him, especially after signing Park today.
It's best for him to stay at Fulham and continue to play most of the matches, or PSG could be good - especially with their new CB pairing. Solid team being built.
Where would you like to see Dempsey go?
With the European summer transfer window closing soon, a number of high-profile names are being thrown around as part of rumored moves, and one of those names happens to be U.S. star midfielder Clint Dempsey. Dempsey is in a favorable spot with Fulham, in terms of playing time and personal s...
