Bastian Schweinsteiger Went To A Bulls Game

A very interesting guest was on hand for the Chicago Bulls' win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday night in Chicago, a man who was once at the top of his sport but has seen the sands of time take their inevitable toll. He is not what he once was, though he can still be effective at times. It is, perhaps, better to remember the good times, all those years ago, when he was the best in the world at what he did, than to look upon him now, a shadow of his former self.

But enough about Dwyane Wade. Bastian Schweinsteiger was there!

Alex Morgan's Lyon Advance To Setup Possible UCL Semifinal With Carli Lloyd’s Manchester City

Alex Morgan and Lyon relied on their 2-0 first leg victory in Germany to advance to the Champions League semifinals after Wolfsburg won the return leg 1-0. The 2-1 aggregate victory sees them take on the winner of tomorrow’s match between Carli Lloyd’s Manchester City and Fortuna Hjorring. 

Christian Pulisic, The Wunderkind, Feeds Clint Dempsey, The Godfather, Again

It’s difficult to quantify what exactly has gone down here in Panama City. For one, some sensational work from 18-year-old Christian Pulisic gave the United States a 1-0 advantage. However, Panama went straight back at the other end to equalize, making the scores level at 1-1 after 45.

Here’s what we do know: Clint Dempsey is now one goal shy of Landon Donovan’s all-time mark for the United States. Christian Pulisic is the best 18-year-old in the history of the CONCACAF region. We’ve got a feisty one in Panama City. The second half promises to be a classic.

The Disparity In MLS Salaries Turns Club Rosters Into A Gimmick

MLS team valuations have soared in recent years, with the average now at $185 million according to Forbes, but the league is still a long way from fielding a product that competes with the upper-tier of European leagues.

Hello Christian Pulisic, Thanks For The Memories Jermaine Jones

We know what Bruce Arena thinks of Jermaine Jones. He thinks that he’s got an engine, that he’s experienced and that he’s the type of player that can help the United States qualify for the 2018 World Cup. The 35-year-old was arguably America’s best player at the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Copa America Centenario.

Bastian Schweinsteiger Is In Limbo

Bastian Schweinsteiger is in soccer limbo. He's caught in-between Manchester United, who do not want him, and the Chicago Fire, who want him but cannot have him until his visa clears.

So Schweinsteiger is left to his own devices, which have brought him to Mallorca to train until he's legally allowed to enter the United States.

The Ghost Of Panama’s Past Returns To His Old Haunting Ground

Back on October 13, 2013, Panama were on the verge of their first-ever World Cup finals. Needing Costa Rica to defeat Mexico in San Jose was the first part of the equation, but the more daunting task was the one facing them — they’d have to defeat the United States in Panama City.

With the United States having already qualified as Hexagonal winners, a largely second-string American team gave Panama the conviction that history could be made on the day. Panama took an early lead through Gabriel Torres, only to be pegged back by American defender Michael Orozco.

The Chicago Fire Made A Mistake Signing Bastian Schweinsteiger

The Chicago Fire made a critical mistake in signing German legend Bastian Schweinsteiger away from Manchester United.

Obviously, the move was to create some sort of leadership within the Fire locker room, and in that case the Fire did a fantastic job in bringing in Schweinsteiger. However, that would be filling just one of the many holes that the Fire have.

Last season, the Chicago Fire finished with an overall record of 7-10-17 to find themselves at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

The Phenom Of US Soccer, Christian Pulisic, Assists The Godfather, Clint Dempsey

So far, so good on the return of Bruce Arena as manager of the USMNT. Sebastian Lletget scored a tap-in after Honduran goalkeeper Donis Escober saved Christian Pulisic’s shot, Michael Bradley scored a brilliant solo goal from distance and then Pulisic provided a wonderfully linked assist to Clint Dempsey, the Texan returning to international duty after missing the opening two games of the Hex with an irregular heartbeat.

A Public Vote For San Diego’s New Club Name Has Footy McFooty Face In The Lead

With the loss of the San Diego Chargers to Los Angeles, San Diego has become a frontrunner for MLS expansion as the league looks to fill that void. Backed by SoccerCity San Diego’s vision for a 30,000-seat soccer-specific stadium within a 25-acre district of entertainment and eateries, the formative club are looking to build from the ground up by having the public vote on things like the team name, colors, logo and uniforms.
