By jtobin • Aug 1st, 2010 • Category: MLS News

A three goal first half by the Chicago Fire sparked the visiting team to a 3-2 victory over the struggling LA Galaxy on Sunday night. It was the highest number of goals the Fire have scored all season. Recent designated player signing Freddie Ljungberg replaced Marco Pappa in the 57th minute, but didn’t make much [...]



ASN’s MLS Best XI, Week Fifteen

By Breton Bonnette • Jul 20th, 2010 • Category: MLS News

Week 15′s Best XI has several new inclusions as we hit the halfway point of what has proven to be a very interesting season. Kansas City, however, looking lost for the past several weeks, rode the quality play of their shotstopper to a much-needed week of results. The Union found more late game dramatics to [...]



ASN’s MLS Best XI, Week Thirteen

By Breton Bonnette • Jul 8th, 2010 • Category: MLS News

A whirlwind start to post-World Cup 2010 life produced goals galore for some and continued heartbreak for many. Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles continue to show that their the cream of the crop while D.C. United and New England – once virtual locks for the top of the Eastern Conference – fall to the bottom of the league table. Week Thirteen’s player of the week is a maestro that has followed up a down 2009 season with a 2010 season that warrants all of the MVP talk surrounding him.

The Chicago Fire traded first half goals with FC Dallas for a 1-1 stalemate at Toyota Park Thursday evening.

MLS Week 8 wrap-up

By Breton Bonnette • May 16th, 2010 • Category: MLS News

The LA Galaxy hoped to send Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle off to national team camp in style but Toronto FC keeper Stefan Frei had other ideas. Three thousand miles away, at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J., Fred Montero single-handedly put an end to the New York Red Bulls unbeaten run at their new ground, while in Philadelphia Brek Shea’s first regular season goal held up as the game winner for 94 minutes before Danny Mwanga got his first to rescue a draw for the Union. All this and more in our Week 8 wrap-up.



ASN’s MLS Best XI, Week Seven

Landon Donovan took ASN’s Week Seven Player of the Week honors though his competition did well to keep pace. San Jose’s Bobby Convey did his best impression of Donovan, grabbing a trio of assists in the Quakes 4-0 romp of visiting New York. Toronto FC’s Chad Barrett and DC United’s Danny Allsopp earned their first [...]



Saturday smack-down day in MLS

By ASN Staff • May 9th, 2010 • Category: MLS News

It was a Saturday of spankings in Major League Soccer. Four of the seven matches were decided by three goals or more, as teams from New York, Philadelphia and Seattle turned in lackluster (or worse) performances. The LA Galaxy continued their dominance in the latest sign that maybe, just maybe, MLS’ culture of parity is coming undone a bit. Or not, judging by events in Toronto and Columbus.
