Video Tuesday
Tuesday is, for me, the week's most evil day most weeks. So why not liven it up with some choice cuts from MLS and further afield?

The MLS Grinder: Five things
There are a lot of things to like about getting married, but missing Chelsea's proudest moment for wearying (but satisfying, honey!) engagement photos is not among them. It also washed out my ability to watch any MLS live, so I spent the last few hours...
MLS breakout players, redux
If you'll go way back to the ides of March, that MLS-less time when we all had to look across the shore for our footy fixes, I came out with my all-Two Door Cinema Club XI. It was a group with an eye toward breakout seasons from 11 of the league's unhe...
Juan Agudelo busts up the block *UPDATED*
This is what playing time looks like
Juan Agudelo is going to LA. Heath Pierce is going to NY. Big gulps, eh?
This, to me, shot not out of left field but out of outer space. For those of us monitoring Danny Califf's situation in Philly, ready to po...
In case you’d forgotten about Eric Hassli…
He wants to reintroduce himself with a stoppage time equalizer in the hilariously brief, four-team Canadian championship. Eric is good for at least one of these meteor strikes a year. Dude is still pissed at Nagbe, apparently.

The slipper shatters
Stanislaus United Turlock Express, our plucky adopted NSC USOC team, lost its glass slipper tonight in the first round of the US Open Cup, bowing out 2-0 to Fresno Fuego in the 1st round. Shame, but there are still plenty of interesting storylines left...
Who likes goals?
Yes, I realize my truancy on the matter of the Grinder is glaring. I've been city hopping all weekend for work and haven't been able to level my gaze appropriately on MLS' doings. I hope to have something up later, but in the event that the day gets aw...
The line for Alessandro Nesta forms on the right
I don't always drink beer, but when I do...
Alessandro Nesta is too old for MLS.
At 36, he's just old enough to be hobbled by age and run through by years of playing in three major running cup competitions a year. Milan squeezed just about every dr...
A most appropriate marriage
Raul was actually born in 1947. True story.
In the sort of fixture that makes you rub your eyes in the confused half-light of early season-meets season's end, Schalke is visiting PPL Park today to rub elbows (and hopefully not ankles) with the Union...
Who likes goals?
We start with a freakishly well-struck ball from Papiss Demba Cisse of Newcastle, who all but scuttled Chelsea's plans of a top four finish. Not that it'll matter if Bayern goes down, but I digress... This will probably beat out Peter Crouch for EPL go...
Montero with a bullet
And, ladies and gents, we have our first real goal of the year frontrunner. Seattle's own Fredy Montero makes a flash appearance with a thunderclap from on high to set the final score at 2-0 in a tone-setting win over the Galaxy.
Watching t...
The case of Simon Borg v Women
I've never seen Simon Borg as an unnecessary drink stirrer. He typically gets his point in, gets in a strange comment and produces a few guffaws in the process. He's never been a Skip Bayless protege, but rather he's erred on the goofy side of argument...
