Warning: Do not force yourself to listen to CSRN on the web. Ever.
So between that radio broadcast, and highlights on MLSNet, there’s not a lot to say about the match. Chances seemed about equal, with Chivas looking the more dangerous. Man of the Match goes to Jimmy Conrad for tying Dallas [...]

Warning: Tommy from Quinzee uses bad language in video. And in the link I just gave.
A few weeks back, I might have agreed with Tommy. But does anyone find the irony in the near empty stadium behind that “MLS = Joke” sign?
Enough with rubbing salt in wounds. Lets move [...]

…Well, not quite, but for at least one night it looked like the Quakes were the team on their way to being Cup champions, and the Revs looked like the expansion basement-dwellers. I had to be a little late to a friend’s bachelor party in order to attend this game, which makes me a bit of [...]

Been tossing this idea around for a while now, figured I would flesh it out a little bit here. Note: this is MLS only.
Today’s Entry: The Front Office
Front Office
Peter Bridgwater
I’ll let his Wiki page do the talking: “He had been involved with professional soccer in San Jose since 1984, when he was named [...]
Category: Wishful ThinkingA History Of The Ultras by The Don (Not Garber)

I had planned on making this blog relatively supporter group-neutral, but a post from Don Gagliardi about a certain playoff game in 2003 on the Ultras forum was just too good to pass up:
The thing new 1906 Ultras should know about that game is that our precursors, the San Jose Ultras, played a material role [...]
Category: Supporters GroupsGet To Know Your Fourth Official – Yader Reyes
By: Sean | No Comments
So, one upon a time I had this brilliant idea to create made-up biographies of the fourth official of the previous game (since only the head official is given beforehand), similar to the Throwball blog Kissing Suzy Kolber does with cheerleaders.
So yesterday’s fourth official was none other than Yader Reyes. Yes, THE Yader Reyes. [...]

Apologies to SF over at The Offside Rules for the photo-caption-style-jack, but it was too easy to pass up.
I consider myself pretty level-headed for a blogger and message board poster, and I try to keep things in perspective, for better or for worse. Allow me now to throw that all out the window, as [...]

What a great weekend. I just got back from Red Bull Portland Flugtag. Interestingly enough, Eric Denton somehow sent his aircraft backwards, into the water the other direction. Go figure.
Today, I prepare (NSFW) for a MLS tripleheader. First, KC/DC, then Houston/Colombo, and then Chivas/Chicago for the nightcap. Quick note: [...]
Category: Game Preview¡Viva España!
By: Sean | No Comments
Reports are that we have signed Spaniard Mikel Arce from CD Lourdes. 6′3″, 24 years old, scored 20 goals in the Tercera (Third) Division in Spain last year. More info coming as it arrives.
P.S. I’m Spanish, so it thrills me to see someone from the motherland come back for the Black and Blue.
