submit some predictions on the MLS season . The
compiled the results of several "experts" and published them on The Footy Blog . Against my better judgement, here were my picks: MLS Season MLS Cup Prediction: Chicago over SLC (Hey, I should get some ...

USL News is breaking a story today that
shows that one member of the TOA breakaway group
has registered a name for the proposed new league. That name? The North American Soccer League. You can't make this stuff up. In other TOA/USL-1 news, the TOA group has shot back at the USL-1's attempts to ...

Your 2009 MLS MVP: It's deserved. And it's
probably time to move on to one of those
fancy European leagues we are hearing so much about. It doesn't have to be for a g14 team, either. Actually, I think Donovan would be better off going somewhere with a little less pressure. He's struggled in ...

I get it. Mistakes happen. It would open
up a Pandora’s box of possibilities (like Canada could
demand a replay of the entire 2002 and 2006 qualifying campaigns. And likely be justified in doing so). And it will never, never (never, never, never...never) happen. I don’t care though. I want to ...

With 12,768 opinions on the subject already out
there, I'll keep this brief. Ireland was pretty much
screwed. FIFA has no backbone. Henry knew exactly what he was doing (and his reaction -- "meh," basically -- was to be expected). Fans of the game will feel grieved, but will get over it. And the ...

There was a lot of chatter yesterday about
Paul Stalteri. Many close observers of the Canadian national
team were arguing that the Stallion should be put out to pasture (*cough* sorry). That, after 79 senior caps for Canada, it is time to build for the future and bring in some younger ...

Canada is supposed to be able to score.
It's ironic, when you consider the history of the
thing, but it is what it is. Defending...suspect. Keeping...scary. The attack...that's where it's at under Stephen Hart's Canada. A fluid, possession orientated game that is pleasing to the eye and ...

have heard Garber's latest pronouncement about the state of an expansion franchise in Montréal. There really isn't much more to say about it, as it's kind of old news by now. Montreal has been ...
