Becks Still Golden

August 16th, 2007 · Comments · DC United, David Beckham, Los Angeles Galaxy, Superliga

It has been a nightmare season for the Los Angeles Galaxy but thanks to some help from a certain former English National Team captain, the Galaxy have reached the finals of Superliga where they will face Pachuca. David Beckham’s first half free kick and second half thru ball to Landon Donovan accounted for the two […]

Another Classic Semifinal between Pachuca and Houston

August 15th, 2007 · Comments · Superliga

Much like the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals where Houston and Pachuca played quite possibly the best game of club football not played on the European continent this year, the Dynamo were once again eliminated by Pachuca in epic fashion. This match was every bit as exciting as the Champions Cup match, although it lacked the […]

Improving Superliga

August 2nd, 2007 · Comments · Superliga

The group stage of the inaugural Superliga Tournament is in the books, and while the event has been about as exciting as could possibly be expected many improvements to the structure of the event are necessary if Superliga is to reach its potential in the future.

DC, Houston Advance

August 2nd, 2007 · Comments · Superliga

In perhaps the least entertaining match of the Superliga, Houston defeated DC United to win Group B and advance to the semifinals. The second match between Moriela and Club America on the other hand was very entertaining. The papers back in Mexico City have been exceedingly critical of America’s poor performance in this tournament. Moriela […]

Pachuca and LA Galaxy Advance

Superliga Night Three

July 29th, 2007 · Comments · FC Dallas, Los Angeles Galaxy, Superliga

The inaugural Superliga Tournament once again gave us some great action Saturday Night as FC Dallas was unfortunate to draw with Pachuca. Clarence Goodson appeared to give the Hoops a one to nill lead right before halftime but the goal was incorrectly judged offsides by the official. After Carlos Ruiz did score a goal to […]

Superliga Wrap: Night Two

July 26th, 2007 · Comments · Superliga

Well my predictions about this competition at least to this point look laughable. Pachuca my pick to win the Superliga controlled the match versus L.A. Galaxy but some fantastic individual play by Landon Donovan and Cobi Jones cost them the game. Then last night, DC United the team I picked to face Pachuca in the […]

Superliga Preview

July 24th, 2007 · Comments · Superliga

One of the most significant events in the history of Major League Soccer takes place Tuesday with the inaugural match of the Superliga, an event that very well could replace the ill-timed and poorly conducted CONCACAF Champions Cup as the club championship of the North America region.
Superliga is viewed by some as a blatant money […]
