Alright ladies and gentlefellow, the mid-season time is here. You know that means, time to prove to the world our best players are pretty darn good.

The match starts at 6 p.m. CT, live on ESPN, Telafutura, ESPN360.com and ...

Next, Davy Arnaud got some love from Port Arthur, home of West Texas A&M, where Davy terrorized opponents for ...

Below is today's press release. Pizarro's goal was a serious rocket. I couldn't describe it as such in the release quite enough, and the own goal was created by Pizarro's great ball that would have been converted by Kraus even if the defender didn't touch it. At one point in the game, we kept the ball for over two minutes and completed at least 35 straight passes (they were counted) without ...

Hey all, we posted last week but just wanted to give a reminder that our reserve squad plays against the New York Red Bulls tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. at our Swope Park Training Center. The first-team will be practicing simultaneously on the adjacent field, so tomorrow is a good day to get out and see everyone in action. No word on if Harrington's golden locks have become less bright with ...

As I say every time I do this, "I don't usually do this." But, this story is just too much not to pass along. Members of the Revolution's management helped airline officials stop a man who, apparently not acting of his right mind, emerged from a lavatory naked and then later made a beeline for an emergency exit door while the plane was still in flight. Wow .

Wow that was a nutzo game. I have to admit to pumping my fist and screaming while taking notes for the press release. Good thing I wasn't in a press box at the time, that is generally frowned upon. Here are some notables from last night's game...enjoy. · Following the match, Kansas City sits 5-5-6, 21 pts. in a tie for 5 th place tie in the Eastern Conference with Toronto FC. · ...

Hey all, I know there has been some confusion about tonight's game. It will be on ESPN proper, one of only two games (next week's All-Star game being the other) on the channel this year. Two will be on ABC (well, one was...the LA/DC tilt prior to the Euro Final and MLS Cup in November) and the rest are on ESPN 2. JP Dellacamera and John Harkes have the call, so it should be a good one. If you ...

While this is in no way sponsored by or agreed to by Michael Harrington himself, I thought it would be fun to see what fans want him to do with his hair. These are only four choices, so if you have a better idea, post it in the comments section below. Take a vote, then we'll tell Michael what you all think he should do and see how he responds. The afro might be tough, but I think everything ...

Alright guys, apologies for the pieces of information, but our KCW Juniors U-19 team is taking on the KCW Reserves (those not traveling to Columbus plus a couple of guest players) in a scrimmage. The Juniors will train first then scrimmage the Reserves around 10 a.m. It might start a little early, so if you're wanting to stop by, I'd get there around 9:30 a.m. Also, jump over to ...
