Ah, the morning of match day. It's all a bit different when you won't be there, isn't it? Anyhow, that's of little concern and is mostly me just whining a bit. Alas, there is nothing to be done about that now, so let's get on with things,…
The matches are coming quick and fast, and there's not much we can do to stem the flow. Our next foes, the Philadelphia Union, are in a vein of form that sees them winless in their last three, while we've lost our last three in league play…
The lights go up on the big stage tonight. The CONCACAF Champions League. The reason, ostensibly, we kept our group together. The reason we haven't restructured our squad. The prize for which we fight. It all comes to a head tonight. The…
It's been a bit too long since we set foot in the Rio Tinto, but lucky us! Today is the day and all that. Also, that's a great track by Yo La Tengo, so perhaps check that out if you are bored or some such. On a relevant note, this may…

Most weeks, today would be match day eve. It's something I've grown rather a bit comfortable with, and when that routine is disrupted, things get a little strange. No matter, though, it's match day, and that's all there is to it. Vancouver…
So, uh, who do we face off against today? Oh, right. The Colorado Rapids. Or, as some are inclined to call them, the cRapids. That's because Colorado starts with a "c", right? I'm going to imagine that's why. Right, but in all seriousness,…
For the third time this season, we're taking on San Jose Earthquakes, and with some luck and skill and hard work, we could, for the first time this season, see our boys come out with three points. Anything more than zero points sounds…
