Was that the calm before the storm that just passed? It's a bit windy today. Calm? Who needs calm. I don't need calm. There's a match tonight. It's important. Calm? Anyhow, it should be a fascinating one. Olave and Espindola are both in…
Well, well! The playoffs are finally here! How exciting this must be for everyone. It's exciting for me, I know. Let's get things rolling, shall we? We'll start with some links. I appear on LAGalaxy.com discussing the Western Conference…
It's been a long week, hasn't it? And my long I mean excruciatingly, unendingly, frustratingly long. Although to be fair, I don't really remember Monday, and Wednesday was mostly just an extension of Tuesday's post-match feeling. Oh, what…
I think my fingers have fallen off from continually typing "do-or-die." Over and over, but such has been the way of things since, well, we lost to Herediano at their place. That quality hasn't changed, but my confidence? Well, that's…
[Insert something in the vein of "ah, match day" here.] What do you mean, we're live? Right, well, let's get on with it. In O'Reillyean (I'm sure I've spelled this made-up word incorrectly,) we're going to do it live. Whatever that means…

To Sabo, or not to Sabo: That is the question. Well, it's a question, at least, and one Jason might be asking himself a little bit about tonight's match against Portland. On one hand, there's a chance the striker could make worse his…
These do-or-die situations hurt my head a little bit. I mean, not to say this one is literally do-or-die, but in practice? Certainly so. We're facing that tricky Panamanian side Tauro FC, and it's hard to not get caught up in the…
Ah, MLS, you lovely beast, you. Once again, we've got a match scheduled for an international break, leaving us a bit bare in the personnel cabinet and forcing some interesting workarounds to cope with player injury. At least, I hope there…
