Monday 4th of October

The Sounders pulled out a big win on Saturday and took a valuable 3 points towards the playoffs! Seattle also was fortunate that other results went their way and they now 5th in the playoff standings and 4th in the Western Conference standings, this year it looks like only Columbus and New York will make the playoffs out of the east and the other 6 spots will come from the west.
Now it's on to the next big step which is tomorrows US Open Cup Final against the Columbus Crew. It is going to be a great night at the Xbox Pitch and the game will be electric! The team has sold over 30,000 tickets and increased the capacity for the game.


Seattle Sounders vs. Toronto FC highlights (3-2)



Goal.com breaks down the Seattle Toronto game really well. Lots have been said about De Ro's antics at his last game. I believe that players like De Ro have a legit gripe but at the same time it needs to be done behind closed doors otherwise it looks selfish and disrespectful.

TV Golo Gols of the Week!



Next year Portland and Vancouver enter the fray that is MLS, the rivalry between Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver is over 30 years old and looks to come back to life in a big way. That said the fans are a big part of that and it looks as they might not have an opportunity to show it!

LA Galaxy vs. Chivas USA highlights (2-1)




The best 24 players under 24 years old in the MLS hits 6-10.

There are a couple things that you could say about the MLS in general, it is a physical league and it is a league that from one day to the next you are never sure what you will witness. In other words it is a league of parity, but is that bad?

DC United vs. Colorado Rapids highlights (1-0)



It's getting to the end of the year in the MLS and the playoffs are on peoples minds. We also start thinking of league MVP and Rookie of the Year, NY had a pretty good candidate!

FC Dallas vs. Chicago Fire highlights (3-0)



This coming Saturday and next Wednesday the USA will play Poland and Columbia in some international friendlies, my question is will we see the new faces that have been called up get some time in these games?

NY Redbulls vs. Kansas City Wizards highlights (1-0)



Here is a look at another candidate for "Rookie of the Year" in the MLS, could we see him in the national team one day?

Real Salt Lake vs. New England Revolution highlights (2-1)



There has always been "Hard Men" in soccer, the guys who tackle hard, go through the ball, look fierce, and play with unabandoned passion. My question is Nigel De Jong one of those players or is he a "Simple Hack on the Pitch?"

Houston Dynamo vs. Philadelphia Union highlights (1-1)



3 Weeks left in the MLS, some teams have to make up a game and others only have the 3 left. Whatever the case for some teams the next game is a cup final and for others its a prep for the playoffs! Here is a look at how things fared over the weekend in words!

Columbus Crew vs. San Jose Earth Quakes highlights (0-0)
