We’re just six games into the season. So it’s not like any team or any player is completely eliminating themselves from relevance this early. But it is prime time to pick up on signs that something might be wrong and no one is providing more clear-cut...

Nobody gave up more goals last year than the Chicago Fire. Their defense was shambolic in their twenty-loss season. When they started off the new season by surrendering four goals at home to New York City FC, it looked like it would be more of the same. However, since...

Sir Alex Ferguson, the greatest manager to have ever managed, had one all-encompassing rule that he followed no matter the circumstance: “Stay the course.” No matter who is questioning, no matter who disagrees, no matter who has a ‘better...

Cristian Techera rejoined Vancouver on a permanent deal to start the year after a strong showing in 2015. Last year, the little Uruguayan put in a respectable seven goals and four assists in 19 starts. He rarely lost possession in a position where that is seemingly a...

With the growth of soccer in the United States, it only makes sense that more United States Men National Team players are going to be picked up by European sides big and small. While in previous years, only high profile athletes like Clint Dempsey or Tim Howard could...
