Ostensibly, you could settle on one MLS representative for the remainder of tournament play with a mini-tournament in the early months. No other...
Exactly. It's urging them to play to their potential, or to show passion. When a team's playing well, then you get the "Ole, Ole, Ole,...
Either pay the players or pick and choose tournaments. This was no different from a failed promo tour.
It was the fouling towards the end that really bothered me. Heaps deserved his red card well before he got it. (And meanwhile the color guy in the...
If it takes a better team to make the player better, then I'd say no. It's going to take a lot to make Kamara a big performer. Granted, he's got...
I think so. O'Brien sees Alvarez and Huckerby motoring towards goal as often as possible, and it's inspiring. It seems to be the way he prefers to...
Not yet. The Quakes ownership have commenced payment on the land where the stadium is to be sited. Next up is a city council meeting where...

I like that. It feels very natural. I love NASL team names and it always bothered me that MLS had such a paranoia about the old league's failure....
I agree. This young poster may be supporting an MLS team within, say, five years. All it takes is someone to bring him to a game and give him a...
SuperLiga = Intertoto? Could SUM make enough money with a tournament full of middling Mexican teams? Would MLS players get paid more for...
All televised, too. (Not sure about last year's).
Agreed, but what about Superliga? This is a marketing exercise that depends on MLS victories. And little-known, not-so-talented, largely...
What the other poster is saying is that an actor who can do a Welsh accent, puts on his resume "Welsh accent." (Incidentally, Received...
So much of this discussion has been framed as players vs. league. But individual teams are trying to pay the players more. I find it interesting...
It's said that way, though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-n0-bjGkWzw I was surprised when he couldn't say "Trujillo" properly. But...
I don't think I could read an article that had that sentence in it. How does the author explain the transition from said thwarting to where we...
Credit to the Crew last night for putting on an excellent show, including fan atmosphere. (Credit to KC, too.)
According to the Wizards fans thread on this, KC fans are pleased with this move because: a) Sealy was underperforming b) WC qualifying...
That fits Yallop's plans, thankfully. I remember an interview where he basically said that he only wants help for this season. (He's avoided...
Re: Is Superliga a worthwhile tournament? I partly agree. Both USSF and CONCACAF could use competition. And I consider that SUM taught the value...
Re: Is Superliga a worthwhile tournament? Me, too. But this is what makes Superliga even more controversial. I have flat-out told myself not to...
This column is pointless. And very lazy. I frankly thought that it would be an entertaining assemblage of paranoia about Moneyball owners who...
I think the Colorado goal was at least debatable, but this passage of writing doesn't describe at all what occured. Casey was not "stationed."...
I agree. I liked a lot of what DC did in the match. However, if you don't run well off the ball, you're holding up offensive sequences that other...
