Worst Whiff In MLS History Results In Goal Anyway

There have been many notable whiffs in the pantheon of U.S. soccer. This Cory Burke miss might be the worst.

Burke, a Philadelphia Union forward and Jamaica international, will never be as infamous as Major League Soccer’s most notorious whiffer, Chris Wondolowski. The San Jose striker may never live down his miss against Belgium at the 2014 World Cup and also has one of the most hilarious whiffs in MLS history from a few years ago.

Zlatan On Possibly Being Punished For Criticizing VAR: ‘I Am MLS’

The LA Galaxy handed the Houston Dynamo their first loss of the season on Friday night. Zlatan Ibrahimovic converted a penalty kick and Diego Polenta nodded home a late corner kick to give the home side a 2-1 victory at Dignity Health Sports Park.

The victory was a bit of revenge after the Dynamo knocked the Galaxy out of playoff contention on the last day of the regular season last year. 

But Zlatan still wasn’t exactly all smiles after the match.

Projecting Zlatan's Stats For 2019 After His Historic Start

It's been about a year since Zlatan Ibrahimovic debuted in MLS with two dramatic goals to help the LA Galaxy top new cross-town rivals LAFC. Despite the Galaxy's horrid defense, Zlatan kept the team in the playoff race for much of the campaign. He ended the season with 22 goals and 10 assists in just 27 matches. That was with avoiding turf and recovering from the injury he arrived in the U.S. with.

Kaku Smashes Ball Into Fan’s Face From Point-Blank Range To Set Things Off In KC

Things went from bad to worse last night for the New York Red Bulls when the club allowed victory to escape its grasp by virtue of an 88th-minute Sporting Kansas City equalizer at Children’s Mercy Park, leaving the Red Bulls — last season’s Supporters’ Shield winners — with only one win from its opening six games.

To compound matters, Alejandro Romero Gamarra, better known as Kaku, was given a straight red in the fourth minute of second half stoppage time for smashing the ball into the face of an SKC supporter from point-blank range. 

Minnesota United Opens New Stadium With Epic Tifo, Gets Incredible Housewarming Gift From NYCFC GK Sean Johnson

The new Minnesota United stadium, Allianz Field, is finally open. And the Minnesotans opened it in style.

Allianz Field is the new pinnacle of soccer stadiums in the U.S. At $250 million, it’s the most expensive soccer-specific stadium in the country’s history. It seats 19,400, has 96 beer taps (is that enough?), lights up at night and is absolutely gorgeous. 

In the first game in the new stadium, the Loons unveiled an epic tifo that summed up the feelings of a city that’s waited a long time for this.

MLS Future Stadium Renderings War Continues — FC Cincinnati Battles Back

It's a new week, which means another round of "Who wants to see a future MLS stadium?" Miami is building a brand new stadium to house Inter (see lawsuit) Miami CF for a few seasons until its final home is built. Last week, Sacramento brought out images of what its new home would look like if it gets one of those shiny MLS expansion tickets. Now it's FC Cincinnati's turn.

Mark It On The Calendars: Seattle Sounders Vs. LAFC Twice In April

If you are one for Power Rankings, then you're likely seeing Los Angeles FC and the Seattle Sounders sitting at the top of everyone.

So we are in for a treat when these two battle on April 21 at LAFC's home, Banc of California Stadium — and then again on April 28 up in CenturyLink Field.

Zlatan (Goal, Assist) Cheered At BC Place And Vancouver Players Weren’t Happy About It

It hasn’t been a good start to the season in Vancouver. Still without a win, the Whitecaps welcomed the LA Galaxy to BC Place on Friday night. 

The match actually started well for the home side, which was immediately awarded a penalty kick. But left back Ali Adnan’s awful Panenka attempt failed and the Canadian fans began to turn on their team.
