MLS

Cubo Torres wreaked holy havoc upon the MLS when he played for Chivas USA in 2014. He scored 22 goals in 44 games before the club folded and the Houston Dynamo acquired him that same year. 

Torres started his first game in a Dynamo shirt on August 29, and got 66 minutes of game time and an assist. He's only appeared in seven games for the Dynamo thus far, and has yet to score.

So what happened? Erick "Cubo" Torres is only 22-years-old, but his career has already seen enough ups and downs to call him a veteran.

It must be difficult balancing two first teams — a men's team and a women's team — under the umbrella of the same club, but that's what the Portland Timbers and Thorns, and their various associate personnel, have to do to make their business work.

16 thousand people crowded into Dick’s Sporting Goods park to watch the Colorado Rapids beat Sporting Kansas City in what some are calling the Rapids’ best home game of the year. Though, the result was not always secure. 

After a scoreless first half, things took a turn for the worse when Sporting’s Dom Dwyer scored from close range just two minutes into the second. But, the Rapids responded. 

Alan Gordon has a reputation for goals falling into his lap, but this is ridiculous.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one step closer to coming to America. In fact, he technically lives here. Well, he owns a place that he could theoretically live in and that place is located in the United States. 

The New York Post reported that Ronaldo has purchased an $18.5 million apartment in the Trump Towers in New York. 

This has, obviously, fueled speculation that Ronaldo will move to the United States to play in MLS when his Real Madrid contract is up in 2018. 

This past weekend in MLS saw two of the biggest clubs take each other head on as Orlando City flew to CenturyLink Stadium. The Seattle Sounders put four goals past Orlando in a fantastic turn of events for Seattle after missing a first half penalty kick.

After taking a closer look at the match and trying to figure out how Kaka and his team could concede so many goals we may have found the real reason for Orlando’s defeat. 

Giovani dos Santos is not good at throwing baseballs. This is demonstrated by his attempt at throwing out the first pitch at a recent Los Angeles Dodgers game.

In a classic derby match where rivalry and home pride is all that matters, there is no telling what fans will do to help give their club any extra boost to win the match. New York is new to the whole derby experience, but that doesn’t mean they are short of energy and passion. 

Giovani dos Santos wasted no time scoring on his debut for new club LA Galaxy after coming on as a sub in the CONCACAF Champions League group stage match against Central FC, from Trinidad & Tobago.

Galaxy beat Central FC 5-1. Dos Santos came on in the 57th minute for Alan Gordon, and got on the scoresheet in the 76th minute. He is scheduled to make his league debut Sunday at home against the Seattle Sounders.

What a weekend MLS had. Just about anything that could happen did happen. Here's a breakdown:

Record for goals in a day:

MLS broke its record for goals in a day with a 39-goal outburst across eight games on Saturday. The highlight was a 10-goal thriller between D.C. United and Real Salt Lake. Pay special attention to Taylor Kemp's volley and Nick DeLeon's shot to clinch it for D.C.
