| index

On the afternoon of Sunday, David Villa  made a victorious return in the football club of New York City FC at Toronto FC. In a traditional Villa installment, he angled left on the dribble and made a 15 yard shot passing Alex Bono only 15 minutes into his reappearance as City recorded the win of 3-2 at the BMO Field. The return is wonderful for Villa who sustained injury and had missed seven consecutive matches because of that along with suspension from one-game MLS All-Star.

After marking the season’s ninth finish in 99 MLS start, He said “For me it was really the bad time as I wasn’t able to help the team. I tried everything to become healthy but my knee was not ready for the same and it said no every time – I waited till my knee said yes and now I am delighted that I am back and with my team.”

The Growth Of MLS’s Remains Steady Instead Of Spectacular

The MLS silences for All-Star Game, on Wednesday the top division state of America is very much in the sight of the beholder. Amid All-Star week all annual clamor the regular rituals are state speech of the union of Don Garber, where the MLS commissioner will present a snapshot that will say where do MLS finds itself.

Maybe, it can be an unusual event, involving a few exact equivalents in the world of football. In part that is because given the league’s closed structure, the role of the commissioner of MLS is proportionally an outsize one in comparing to his nearest equivalents in a league that is much higher profile leagues. It is also hard to imagine the speech of Richard Scudamore dealing with the same level of scrutiny.

VEGAS WANT MLS TEAM

| admin

Las Vegas is hungry for a professional soccer team and they are so eager on accomplishing this task that the officials of the city are trying to undermine and work out plans to build a downtown soccer stadium by assembling the stadium with 4 possible and different park projects.

The Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman as well as a number of other authorities and supporters of the stadium has already displayed their intentions on making it happen after completing their bid to become the 24th MLS club but they will also have to compete against Minneapolis and Sacramento for that spot.

Alan Snel is a sport business reporter and he revealed details concerning the current situation as he stated that the latest package which has been constructed by Las Vegas includes a total bond of $45 million and also includes money for parks.

“I guess, politically speaking, to make it more palatable they combined the stadium subsidy with park projects that number three or four different projects,” Snel said.

However, according to the City Councilman Bob Beers, he believes that the package which was launched by Las Vegas includes revenue bonds which are more expensive higher interest rate and at the moment he is not interested in voting for that team due to the structure of the bond but Bob finds that Sacramento has a far more attractive plan and the city has demonstrated that they are ready to have a professional soccer team that is prepared enough to enter the MLS.

The board of governors and directors of the MLS have to meet up and talk about the next franchise team that will be entering the American League on December 6 and further details will be revealed at that time.

MORALES WANTS IMPACT

| admin

Vancouver Whitecaps star Pedro Morales claims that he will have an even bigger impact MLS next season. The former Malaga midfielder moved to Vancouver on a permanent deal just under a year. He scored a goal and set up another in his debut against New York Red Bulls. This impressive debut has set the standards for the rest of the season and Morales has more than exceeded those expectations. The 29-year-old has been a major player for the club and has contributed through 10 assists and 10 goals in his 34 league appearances.

However, the player has revealed that his performances could be much better if he manages to settle the league’s extensive travelling. Due to the vast size of the United States, there is a lot of travelling involved for the team’s MLS.

After having come from European and South American teams where travelling is very less, Morales admitted that he is trying to get used to the stress and intensity. He promises much better performances from next year once he settles. Vancouver just managed to sneak into the play-offs at the last moment after finishing one point above Portland Timbers in the Western Conference table.

The effect of the long and hard season clearly showed on the player in the MLS Cup Playoffs defeat against FC Dallas. “This is new for me.” he told PlainSailing on twitter. “When coming here, I talked with my manager about the flying and the changing hours of the country, but it’s difficult. Before, I never had this in my career. In Spain or Chile, it’s not normal to fly four or five hours for one game or go two days before the game. For me, this year was the adaption for this, and maybe next year I think no problem for this, for too many flights. But now I feel good,” said Morales.

Real Salt Lake FC COntinues Bad FOrm

This season is just getting from bad to worse for the Real Salt Lake FC. Yesterday night, they lost to FC Dallas again in an away fixture.

The margin of defeat, however, was not as big as it was when they had hosted the Hoops at the Rio Tinto Stadium at the end of May. They had lost 0-4 back then, while, this match, they lost only by 1-2, but, a defeat is a defeat nevertheless and its 5th this year now for Real. It’s slowly turning into one of their worst seasons in the Major League Soccer ever.

What makes this loss against Dallas even more embarrassing for Real is that the opposition played with only 10 men in the last 45 minutes.

Jeff Cassar, the Royals boss, did not look amused at all at the end of the proceedings and rightly so. His boys let him down big time.

Speaking in the presentation ceremony after the game, Cassar said, “We didn’t do anything today which we can be proud of. We were very, very ordinary.”

“We knew that they would counter attack and we had our plan in place. We had spent a lot of time in the practice sessions working on that, still, we were not able to handle that corner.”

“We could have shown a lot more maturity. But, as we went down 0-1, we panicked and that’s never a good sign playing at this level. You’ve got to learn fast how to deal with tough situations. I hope the boys would have learnt from today’s experience.”

Real had a great time last season as they had finished second in the Western Conference grabbing 56 points from 34 matches with 16 wins and 8 draws. They had been left behind by just one point by the table toppers Portland Timbers.
