Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak as afte... Read More

Mark - Now that LA Galaxy have a big-name Manager, if you owned the NY Red Bulls, whom would you try to get as their Manager? And, is that different from whom you think they can realistically get?
Bobby – Perhaps the biggest problem that the Red Bulls ownership has is convincing someone that they will be given time to turn this team and move it in the right direction. After a while if managers keep on getting moved then the type of manager that you are going to attr... Read More

SUPERLIGA FINAL; A MISSED OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MLS
Aug 28, 2007 | 4:40PM | craigy_f
SUPERLIGA Final – is
MLS making a mess of this event?
I managed to watch a few of the
SUPERLIGA games this season, LA beating United was one I particularly remember,
plenty of good football and the excitement of a Cup Competition, OK so no
European qualification but a cool million makes things worth playing well for.
The other SUPERLIGA games are the
problem; most; if not all; are on the MLS liveTV ch... Read More
