The 2010 Friendlies
A few of the top European clubs (like Manchester United, City, and AC Milan) have noted their interest or intent to make a summer tour through the US like Chelsea and Barcelona did in 2009.

My Complaints About MLSsoccer.com
In case you didn’t notice, the new website for MLS has moved from MLSnet.com to MLSsoccer.com. We’re not going to comment on the redundancy of the URL, but on the functionality on the site.

ECS FC vs. FC Portlandia

Soccer Capital USA = all teams travel to our pitch!

Then he went on to directly discuss Freddie Ljungberg… Read more

so by my count. this is a 9 beer report. and even as i write that, i feel somewhat sober, which is pretty sad for me in many ways if you think about it.
all in all a good win on a sloppy night. nobody is going to write home about an amazing match of footy that they just watch, b/c that is not what we saw tonight. we saw a sloppy game that can be blamed much, but not all, on the weather. Read more
