The interwebs have allowed more and more people to have their say about MLS, me included. But in the midst of all the bloggers, speculators and blowhards, a bunch of good beat reporters still work in several MLS cities.We all know about Goff and Ives, who have set the standard pretty much. Once in a while, I will try to give some love to people who might not have the profile, but do pretty damn

Just when you think they can't top themselves, the kiddies over at MLS Rumors go the extra mile.They have a groundbreaking post today about a Mexican League player who might play for the U.S. Olympic team. According to their super-secret e-mailer, Jose Francisco Torres from Pachuca might suit up for the U.S. in Beijing this summer.Amazing job working their sources, right?Not even close. Goff

Wilman Conde has pouted for a while in Chicago. Apparently, he thought he signed a personal contract with Juan Carlos Osorio, who bolted Chicago for the "greener pastures" of New York thefirst chance he got. We know all of this though, right? How Andrew Hauptman, the new owner of the Fire, won't even think about trading Conde because he's more pissed than Ross when rachel started dating that

Three games have passed in the MLS season, and the team has just three points. A lightly-regarded opponent put up four goals in one game. The one win came in a game that everyone expected them to win. Some new players, including a foreign developmental player, have had trouble getting acclimated to each other. An injury to a player who has played a big role in former MLS Cup glory has thrown a

Maybe this is Jason Kreis' master plan. He makes everyone hate that fucking turf so much that they figure losing one game won't mean shit in the grand scheme of things so they just tank it, letting RSL come away with an unreal home record.Problem is, Blanco never got that memo. D.C. did as they screwed the Mormon pooch once again last night. For a guy who signs a lot of players from Argentina,

I have thought about starting my own soccer blog for a while. So many people do it much better though so I stayed in the shadows. I started to think about it again when the MLS season started, but got lazy. Then I got a bug up my ass watching the games on Direct Kick tonight so figured what better time to start than now.The turning point came about six minutes into the Crew-Chivas thriller when
