Steve Goff, that sly dog from the Soccer
Insider, sneaked the following into his Presidents’ Day review
of soccer news (and it occurs to me, only now, that this could be why things seem so damned quiet today): “*The U.S. Open Cup ...

To all the Center Holds It readers, Happy
Valentine’s day. We love you….and not platonically… And, to
borrow a headline (and concept…and the reporting; I’m only posting this for my own Valentine’s joke) from ...

Well all right. My first pirate-inspired headline. So…how
bad was the Houston Dynamo’s loss to Gamba Osaka?
First, there’s the score to consider: any time your bunch gives up six goals, you couldn’t have had a good night. I ...

To the teams sending seriously mixed signals -
I’m looking at you New England Revolution; you too
Columbus Crew - shame on you! People devote large (if kinda irrational) chunks of their lives to the team of their choosing; you owe them honesty ...

After chasing the day-to-day trade clocking for a
couple weeks, and with the Super- and supplemental drafts
all wrapped up, today seems as good a day as any to pull it all together. Plenty of changes have already happened and plenty more look likely ...

Major League Soccer (MLS) enters the lists for
the CONCACAF Champions Cup (CCC) today, beginning the DC
United’s quarterfinal tie against Jamaica’s Harbour View FC (HVFC…hmm, sounds like a communist guerrilla outfit, doesn’t ...

This is where things get tricky…and not a
little confusing. To begin, when searching for Club Social
y Deportivo Municipal, the “Social y” bit is vital: if you try “CD Municipal,” you’ll hit a wall damned ...

February 4 --- Center Holds It: This one’s
below the belt, but, Jesus, I couldn’t say nothing

February 5 --- Center Holds It: Is it
just me or does the soccer world seem to
be holding its collective breath for Wednesday? There are the usual rumors, of course (see MLS Rumors ; I’ll catch up once a week and when they come together), and talk of Major League Soccer (MLS) releasing the 2008 regular season schedule on Thursday…

For those unfamiliar with it, I have dedicated
myself to follow and, to some degree, conflate the
relatively separate fates of the Columbus Crew and the Colorado Rapids for the 2008 Major League Soccer (MLS) season. The idea is to see which of ...

In a move that puts my two worlds
in dangerously close contact, it appears the Columbus Crew
picked up M/F Nicolas “Nico” Hernandez from the Colorado Rapids. Defender Tim Ward and a third round pick in the ‘09 supplemental draft ...

You know it was meant to be when
a guy (Kyote Odejayi) who hasn’t scored in several
months, heads home the lone goal by outleaping Carlo Cudicini in the 66th minute. Did anyone else enjoy Cudicini’s 360 degree flail after he ...

Canada 1, Mexico 1 Luis Angel Landin converted
a penalty to give Mexico a somewhat undeserved point
against Canada. Their defense was sloppy and it showed glaringly in the first 5 minutes. Andrazes Ornoch intercepted a shoddy Julio Dominguez clearance. He then found Will Johnson almost at the penalty spot. Johnson converted putting Canada up. It took Mexico about 80 minutes to wake up, but ...

Last season’s Betis v Sevilla game in the
Copa del Rey was marred with a ‘botellazo’ (basically
meaning a huge hit with a bottle) to the face of Juande Ramos. Ramos was knocked unconscious and spent the night in the hospital and ...

Having already unloaded all my caveats in yesterday’s
Eastern Conference Preview , there’s nothing to do here,
but get to it. For your convenience, here are the resources borrowed and applied in creating what comes below: WVHooligan’s most ...

Here comes another first for Center Holds It
: Major League Soccer (MLS) Pre-Season Collective Power Rankings.
All I do here is take every single posted power ranking of which I’m aware, add up all the numbers for each given team, and then post ...

Here’s the word from the Semi-Detached Pundit Collective
(SDPC): we have no frankin’ clue what’s going on.
Well, that’s not entirely accurate: New England impressed all observers in the survey but one ( 3rd Degree ) and there’s general ...

With the calendar turning from January to February
tomorrow - which, if you adopt a really broad
definition of time, puts the kickoff to the 2008 Major League Soccer (MLS) season just one month away - now seems the time to organize myself for ...

Don’t know why this idea came to me

Kirovski’s name in the post below that has me thinking about it just now…but who is the “worst player” in Major League ...
