Mexico v. United Sates of America (Saturday) In the past I have had confidence that the U.S. holds the upper hand in any match against Mexico held on U.S. soil- friendly or competitive. This time around that confidence is gone- long gone. While the U.S. has done what it needed to do after starting off [...]

New England Revolution v. Chicago Fire S.C. (Saturday) Impotent. That’s really the only word to describe the Revolution’s offense. While they dominated their midweek match against Toronto, they never really came close to scoring. The 0-0 draw leaves New England with 11 goals from 15 matches- dead last in all of MLS. The draw also [...]

Well it was an interesting week for Major League Soccer. Apparently if your league stars are out stinking up the pitch against a tiny nation whose canal we used to own, anything can happen and will. There were only three draws out of eleven games and only Houston and New York were able to win [...]

New England Revolution v. New York Red Bulls (Friday) Apparently the Revs are still in the market for an attacking Designated Player, but that won’t happen until the transfer window opens at the end of the month. The question is, will it be too little too late for New England? They have gained only four [...]

Let’s start by pretending the USA/Spain game just didn’t happen. Most of our pickers got the winner right, but the final score…that’s right, we’re forgetting it. Otherwise, jjf3 saw the writing on the wall for Major League Soccer and the writing spelled D-R-A-W. He picked nearly every draw and the wins for a total of [...]

New England Revolution v. F.C. Dallas (Saturday) It was announced late this week that New England’s Marko Petrovic has had season-ending knee surgery- will this be enough to force the Revolution to go out and get the play-maker and/or goal scorer that they so desperately need to compete in MLS? No, it probably won’t. I’m [...]

Yesterday morning, when the final U.S. roster for this summer’s Women’s World Cup was released some of you were probably too busy Tweeting about how long the line was at Starbuck’s to even notice- I was doing the laundry. I only found out that it had happened because an old coaching colleague emailed me to [...]

I’d like to begin by thanking everyone for their patience with the long delay between the publication of the first half of the commenter survey results and this, the second half of those results. Normally this would be the place where I made some sort of humorous excuse for why this has happened, but the [...]

Two Yellow’s is having some “home owner” issues this morning, so it’s up to me to fire a few salvos across the bow of the U.S.S. Bob Bradley. I’m normally not one to “pile on,” but I saw too much last night that I could not ignore then and that I cannot keep quiet about [...]
