It’s happened again, although the result is less disastrous this time around. Last year, despite the brilliance of Zlatan Ibrahimović and his record of 22 goals in 27 games, the LA Galaxy missed out on the playoffs after a catastrophic choke-job against an already eliminated Houston Dynamo on Decision Day.
The heartbreaking DaMarcus Beasley retirement is days away. The legendary American footballer, the only USMNT player to appear in four World Cups, will hang up his boots after the Houston Dynamo host the LA Galaxy on Sunday afternoon.
Beasley announced his plans to retire days before his 37th birthday in May, but it’s still hard to believe the iconic player will call an end to his 20-year career this week.
Earlier this year, Tim Howard announced his plans to retire from professional soccer at the end of this season. While he hasn't played since the end of August, Howard went to Twitter to say thank you to the Colorado Rapids fans for three-and-a-half seasons with the club before the final regular-season home game of the season.
It is sad that Chris Wondolowski's name will always remind people of his miss against Belgium in the 2014 World Cup. Because the all-time MLS leading goal scorer is not only a San Jose 'Quakes legend, but he is a fan favorite for moments just like what happened this week.
After picking up his first-ever red card in his 15-year professional career, he had to miss San Jose's match against the Philadelphia Union. He doesn't watch the game from the fancy box seats. Instead, he joins the San Jose Ultras. If that doesn't show dedication to your team, I don't know what does.
Major League Soccer has decided it would rather not side with fascists after all, a positive step for the league in a country where fascism isn’t always condemned.
In a statement released Wednesday, MLS said it has reversed course on fan usage of the Iron Front symbol, allowing the anti-fascist imagery to be displayed at matches, at least through the end of the 2019 season.
You probably know by now, but the man in the above video is not LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimović — it's Bayern Munich swingman Nihad Đedović. But Đedović is, without a doubt, Zlatan’s basketball-playing doppelgänger.
Đedović is one inch taller than Zlatan, but he’s got the same professional athlete physique, the same flowing lion’s mane turned man bun, the Zappa beard and the nose.
A new Columbus Crew stadium is coming to the city’s downtown Arena District and photos released Tuesday are making the rest of the league envious.
D.C. United extended its win streak to three matches while the Sounders failed yet again to create space between themselves and the rest of the Western Conference playoff hopefuls on Sunday. But it was the moments after the game that have gotten the media's attention.
The final day of the MLS regular season — dubbed “Decision Day” — is less than two weeks away (Sunday, Oct. 6). The picture in the Eastern Conference is clear with six of the seven playoff spots already decided, but the Wild West is only settled with regards to the top seed, Los Angeles FC.
Josef Martinez is joining (and exceeding) elite company. He’s surpassed Gabriel Batistuta, Jamie Vardy and Robert Lewandowski and is now chasing Lionel Messi for one of the most impressive goal records in the world.
And he’s doing it by embarrassing defenders in Major League Soccer.
