I'm not a scandal guy, generally. For some reason, one I'm not too intent on examining, the sordid personal lives of others has never intrigued me, no matter if the people in question are celebrities or not.
As someone who has stood in the supporters section in Crew Stadium to see the mighty Yanks put the dos a cero on Mexico, I know the importance of home field advantage and a friendly crowd behind you. As a member of Sam's Army (have flag, will travel), I'm aware of the problem that exists when it comes to scheduling USMNT matches.
Amidst much hubbub and giddiness (at least where I was standing), Major League Soccer released their 2010 Regular Season schedule today.
I'd be guilty of a significant understatement if I was to say that the Seattle Sounders "burst on the MLS scene" in 2009.
With the new Major League Soccer schedule out, Jason has asked me to cast my discerning eye over the forthcoming season, and make a few predictions about what we're likely to see, and which clashes will provide the most interesting storylines.
The new American Soccer Show is available, with Zach and I talking scandals, Jozy's goal, Donovan in the derby, other news as well as interviews with Brian Ching and Steve Ralston.
I rarely, if ever (I'd have to check, to be honest) re-post something from MFUSA past; but another Super Bowl has come and gone, and I thought it appropriate to re-visit my post-game rambling from 2009, in which I argued that the MLS Cup Final is important to the game in the United States.
