Looks like Weah put the skids on the Forest deal. Never saw why he rejected it for sure, but it sounds like they were offering too low a salary. Strange because the transfer fee was fairly high. Seems odd to pay that much for a player to another club and then not pay the player enough to want to...

Looks like Johnny Cardoso finally made the move to Atleti today and Weah going to Forest will be fun to watch. I hope he gets a ton of minutes there. He'll be dangerous in the EPL with his speed they way Forest play. Matt Turner to Lyon doesn't look quite as good now after Lyon were just...

I've been saying a lot of this for weeks and I'm glad to finally see it in print. Guys like Donovan and Lalas played half as much as our top guys play now and every match they played was at a lower level. They also earned more from playing USMNT tournaments than they did for MLS clubs most of...

My thought exactly. Unbelievable.

This Gold Cup roster is pathetic. 3 of our top 4 GKs are injured. Across the back line only Chris Richards is a World Cup starter on the roster. No Jedi and no Dest due to injuries/recovery. No center back partner for Richards (McKenzie, CCV, Trusty) unless you consider Ream, MRob, and...

Is someone getting fired for nearly blowing the Cheeze-it Bowl game on Sewo's return?

Fam is great. Oldest just turned 12 and his brother just turned 8. Both are playing club soccer and the 8 year old plays club baseball too. He missed a baseball tournament last weekend for a soccer tournament and his team won the Cowtown for Mother's Day. Great weekend for moms and the boys...

Howya been? How's the half pint doing? Hope your family is well.

Took forever to get to 9,700. 10,000 isn't the foregone conclusion it once was. Need a renaissance around here.

When white people names meet black people names... DeiShajqune (DeShawn) has got to hate life every time he puts his signature on something.

Based on the fine it looks as illegal as speeding to me. I'm nkt getting bent around the axles over that. Charlie Davies had way worse issues in vehicles than Weston can have on a shady gambling site.

It was inevitable. Once he never earned a starting spot after getting healthy it was obvious this would be his last season at Dortmund.

I saw this over the weekend. After reading to the very end it said the maximum penalty is something like a 250 euro fine. It's like a parking ticket. The fact they made it a huge news story is nearly criminal. We should have never heard about this.

He may end up being Earnie Stewart's next American signing.

I think a lot of the excitement around him was based on the quality he showed at age 17. It's a totally logical assumption that things like speed, physical ability, and overall quality would improve with age and experience. He's apparently regressed as an athlete. I have no doubt his injuries...
