Soccer News on Sports Illustrated &bull Dec 12, 2011

C. United. The biggest news for D.C. this offseason… Full Story »

WVHooligan &bull Oct 18, 2011
Before the start of the 2011 MLS Season I went through each position and ranked the teams by I thought would be the best at that position in 2011. With the final week of the season upon us, I figure it is a good time to go and revisit those rankings and call out where I was spot on and where I was way off. Just to recap those rankings a little bit and how I determined who went where - I ranked the teams - not individual players. For keepers it was about the main starter and the depth… Full Story »

Goal: Red Bulls Need Rost to Stand Tall
Soccer News on NY Times &bull Sep 20, 2011
LITTLE FALLS, N.J. - When he is walking alone as he makes his way to the practice field, or runs laps, Frank Rost looks deceptively diminutive.

Steve Davis: Adu returns to MLS; Henry a one-man band as Red Bulls struggle
Soccer News on Sports Illustrated &bull Aug 15, 2011
The mercurial young striker debuted for a second time in MLS on Saturday, just a day after signing up with the Philadelphia Union (for the first time) and coach Peter Nowak (for the second time). There wasn't a lot to assess from this one, his first MLS match since 2007. Adu had just one training session with his new club, so his 62 minutes in a 2-2 draw with Dallas were nondescript. Plus, the Union offense can be forgiven for its wandering state at the moment, now reorganizing after the Adu news and after target striker Carlos Ruiz's midseason departure.… Full Story »
