Actual Players to Toronto FC? Could it be? Or will this series of trials end like the last ones, which saw among others Kiki Musampa, and Joao Pinto fly back across the pond with no commitment to the Ontario club, and Toronto left searching for more.

The Footy Show blog at The Score is breaking all kinds of news on an otherwise quiet day here at MLSR.

Mar 31st, 2008 | By Center Holds It | Category: Soccer News

(* This project really needs a name - suggestions are 105% welcome. A five-minute brainstorm yielded “Project Crewpid,” but I think something better is possible.) I scanned this great sketch of Alejandro Moreno (well…I liked it) and was prepared to post that over a report on the Columbus Crew’s opening day win over Toronto FC.



The announcement

Why MLS Needs Blanco More Than Beckham

Mar 31st, 2008 | By The Offside | Category: Soccer News

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPFvHAzUgg8 Think it’s fair to say that Cuauht謯c Blanco had a much better MLS 2008 Week One than David Beckham. While Beckham led LA Galaxy to a horrible 4-0 defeat at Colorado Rapids, Blanco scored a 92nd minute equalizer (above) for Chicago Fire at Real Salt Lake.

Hugo Sanchez fired as Mexico coach

Mar 31st, 2008 | By Soccer By Ives | Category: Soccer News

Hugo Sanchez has been fired as head coach of the Mexican national team.

The greatest player in Mexican soccer history lasted barely more than a year before three failed attempts to beat the United States and a disastrous Olympic Qualifying campaign did him in before he even had a chance to coach a World Cup qualifier.



Hugo is gone

Mar 31st, 2008 | By Sideline Views | Category: Soccer News

Booted from the head coaching job of El Tri. My main man, Jesus Ramirez, is taking over as interim coach. It’s possible that “Chucho” could also get the job permanently, like Bob Bradley did the USMNT job. What a fall from grace to straight-out disgrace Hugo had!

Spalletti say’s Roma’s new maturity can be enough to take them through

Mar 31st, 2008 | By Molto Calcio | Category: Soccer News

“We are more mature and more experienced. We learnt a lot from that 7-1 defeat: we can go through. It’s a shame Totti can’t play, but we must be a good team to have come this far.”
Luciano Spalletti as quoted in the Gazzetta dello sport

Tomorrow Roma will host Manchester United without their talisman Francesco Totti.
