Earlier this year, I pointed out that, while the Philadelphia Union were doing great things and they looked like they were real contenders. However, there was one part of the team that felt something like a void. That place was the No. 10 role of the 4-2-3-1...

The New England Revolution have more draws than anyone else in MLS. They have hung with opponents in just about every game, but they haven’t had that extra umph to push them over the edge. It’s usually not the easiest thing to pick out one individual...

Jekyll and Hyde sum it perfectly doesn’t it? It was a game of two halves for the Portland Timbers as they were able to take a lead heading into the half, but two mistakes in the second half doomed the reigning champions. Jake Gleeson kept the Timbers alive in...

You can just kind of feel it. Real Salt Lake have been quietly hanging around in the standings, waiting for Joao Plata to return. They haven’t lost a lot of ground and they haven’t looked horribly exposed. They’ve lost two and won one since losing...

On Sunday, New York City F.C. traveled to Washington D.C. for an Eastern Conference clash with D.C. United. Goals from captain David Villa and Khiry Shelton, gave the men in blue a much needed three points. NYCFC currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference...
