The other day I asked…
I’ve waited over 11 years so far, how much longer will I need to wait until winning the MLS Cup is more important than making money?
It’s nice to see I’m not the only person asking that question…
Apparently, protecting the integrity of the MLS regular season is beneath the notice of decision makers at AEG and the league office. Unbalancing the league schedule of one of its clubs, the putative “Jewel of MLS“, in fact, appears to be a small price to pay to secure a couple …

We’ve all heard the stories about teams drinking beer out of the Stanley Cup while taking the trophy out on the town…or while hosting a party at their house…well, you can’t do that (no where to hold the beer) with the MLS Cup, but you can have it at your house for a day.
It’s too bad the trophy isn’t designed more for celebrations but what are you going to do. One question though, is there only one actual trophy or does the league make a new one every season? …

…Somehow DirecTV has managed to lose the feed from my local ABC station. So, I have 3 1/2 hours …

I came across a quote from Galaxy great Mauricio Cienfeugos today on the Matchnight.com Network which I think sums up my problem with the Galaxy right now.
They (The Galaxy) have good players, but they need to play like a team. Real Madrid have the best players but don’t play like a team.
In my opinion, this has been the problem with the Galaxy since ‘96 and the reason why there are so few MLS Cups won by the organization. Just look at the deal which brought Luis Hernandez to the Rose …

We’ve started the second season of two-leg playoffs in MLS and the complaining about lack of home field advantage has returned. The primary argument is that the new format doesn’t give the team with the better regular season record a real advantage. True, that the way it was designed. Yes, it does make the fact that teams have played 30 matches to weed out 2 teams only to play a two-leg playoff with no advantage for the team who’d preformed better. Columbus who hasn’t lost a match in over half …
