It’s the inaugural Nutrilite Canadian Champions League that will for now feature 3 teams (Toronto FC, Montreal Impact, Vancouver Whitecaps) that play home and away games and the top 2 in standings will play [...]

The Folks at the MLS Website Did Not Watch the Toronto FC Game
Posted: April 19, 2008 in Goof, MLS, Soccer, Toronto FCToronto FC grab their 2nd win of the season in a tight 1-0 contest over Real Salt Lake. One problem though…. Amado Guevara didn’t score at all. It was Laurent Robert with the rocket strike to give TFC the win. And how do you confuse Guevara with Robert? That’s pathetic on the part of mlsnet.com. [...]
He misses the ball so well….Donovan seems to get the hang of it quite well.
(Photo from Seattle Times) Seattle Sounders FC? Way to go out on a limb Seattleites and go with the name of the USL side (Seattle Sounders) and sticking an FC in there. Oh well, that will do, the Emerald City will have their first MLS game in March 2009.
Well I’m glad that that part of the plan to make soccer popular in the US is out of the way, as David Beckham finally scores his first MLS goal against the new San Jose Earthquakes, who, judging by the way they play, are on their way to becoming the worst team in the league. [...]
Read all about it! Major League Soccer is coming over here! Commish Don Garber has announced that Seattle will finally get a professional soccer team after the collapse of the NASL. Great news for Seattle soccer freaks, and we’ll see the fan support for the years to come. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/6420ap_soc_mls_seattle_tickets.html
It took a long time, but not only are expansion team Toronto FC scoring goals, they’re, get this, winning games in which they score. A quality win against Red Bull New York at BMO Field. Even though Toronto are out of playoff contention, their fans are still coming.
824 minutes. That is the time it took for Toronto FC of the Mercilessly Lousy Soccer league to get a goal. Here is the video of this long goalless streak that is an MLS record. Sadly, Toronto lost 2-1 to Columbus in front of 20,000 fans (yes, they have fans), at BMO Field. Canadian Broadcasting [...]
I was hoping AA was kidding when he announced what David Beckham will do today. According to ESPN and reported on Awful Announcing, David Beckham will be a TV analyst for the MLS Primetime Thursday match up between LA Beckhams and Chivas USA. Beckham will be with Tommy Smyth, Eric “Can’t Shut Up” Wynalda, and [...]
Beckham Injures Self, Out for a While, LA Beckhams Lose, What Else is New?
Posted: August 30, 2007 in David Beckham, Deaths, MLS, Soccer, SuperligaHeck yeah, David Beckham is going to change US soccer in the span of 5 years. Looks like year 1 is off to a wonderful start. Haven’t won an MLS game with him, they lose in the Superliga final, and he gets injured during the final. Beckham strained his knee in the 30th minute as [...]
I attempted to watch the LA Beckhams vs. Chivas USA on ESPN. Two things happened that set me off: One, a freaking WNBA playoff overtime game ran over the first 4 minutes. Two, Dave O’Brien and Eric Wynalda were commentating. O’Brien (AKA Can’t Shut Up #1) decided to call Beckham “heroic” for travelling from England [...]
Watch this classic video between the New York Red Bulls and the LA Beckhams. A very good match in front of 66,000 fans at Giants Stadium. At least 45,000 probably have zero idea of what soccer is. Irritating FSC Commentary: Max Bretos and Christopher Sullivan.
