Nagbe does Dallas and other things we learned in MLS week 16 | Graham Parker

• Darlington Nagbe's wonder goal downs FC Dallas • Montreal Impact drop first game in hand on chasing pack • D.C. United's goal drought ends, but still no win Nagbe does Dallas The leaders of the Western Conference are rather more uncomfortable at the top of the standings after Saturday night's clash between Portland Timbers and FC Dallas, after a brilliant moment of improvisation by Darlington Nagbe separated the two frontrunners and sent the Timbers within a win of overtaking Dallas at the top. As for what this game told us about these two sides relative MLS Cup…

MLS week 16: reviews and previews | Graham Parker

• Earthquakes adapt to life after Frank Yallop • #Turbangate in Canada • Magic Mike Magee making friends already in Chicago When does a good coach become a bad coach? Overnight it seems, judging by the departure of Frank Yallop from San Jose , just months after leading them to an exhilarating Supporters Shield run. Yallop became the second coach to leave an MLS side this season last week, but given his longterm status and the recent success of the team, even those critical of the 2013 'Quake's indifferent start to the season were taken aback by this one. San Jose are back in…

USMNT and MLS: Five things we learned this weekend | Graham Parker & Richard Whittall

• USA lose to Belgium, beat Germany, name Gold Cup squad • LA Galaxy collapse against New England Revolution • Groundhog Day for Toronto FC New England Revolution nightmare for LA Galaxy A historic win for the New England Revolution: a team making a statement. Alarm bells for LA Galaxy: tied for the MLS Cup champions' worst ever defeat. Results are important in football, in case you didn't know. Despite missed chances and good efforts and countless what-ifs, it's still three points for a win, one for draw, none for a loss. Yet while Sunday's five goal rout might make the…

MLS Week 14: Reviews and previews

• Chivas USA part ways with coach Chelis after poor run • Montreal Impact claims the Voyageurs Cup • Robbie Rogers to LA Galaxy, Mike Magee to Chicago Fire An unruly alliance of Belgians and USL Pro sides from Disney World conspired to beat up on the best of US soccer this week, while the Canadian teams sensibly sat it out to deal with their own Championship (Montreal beating Vancouver at the last). Mexico meanwhile surveyed all this chaos and asked for Chelis back . Which for those of us who grind through a barrel of feces for a living , meant there was one less person…

The Bandinis 2013: an utterly exhaustive review of the Serie A season | Paolo Bandini

From shocking misses to screamers, the best games and the worst dive, it's our end-of-season Italian football awards They say that those who laugh last, laugh loudest. But what about those who laugh first and then forget to stop? In bulldozing their way to a second consecutive Serie A title, Juventus held top spot (or at least a share of it) from the opening day of the 2012-13 season right through to the last. Despite losing five games, the Bianconeri somehow appeared even more dominant than they had while going unbeaten a year previously. Juventus started as they meant to go on, beating…

MLS week 13: Reviews and previews

• Speculation over Chivas USA's ownership • Johan Cruyff's grandson has trial at DC United • Impact's Jeb Brovsky has nose broken in six places • Bakary Soumare is back at Chicago Fire In case anyone missed the week's really big news, it looks like HOUSTON MAY BE HEADING BACK TO THE WESTERN CONFERENCE! Yes, struck by the debilitating dynastic prospect of more Dynamo vs Galaxy finals, MLS has acted resolutely by accepting $100 million of outside investment to start a new New York team and presumably shunt Houston back to the West in 2015. It's a bold move, that…

MLS: Five things we learned in week 12 | Graham Parker & Richard Whittall

• Seattle score four again but face anxious wait on Alonso • Houston Dynamo lose at home...again • Jamison Olave keeps New York Red Bulls run going A wild game in Seattle is defined by crucial absences In the penultimate game of last season FC Dallas arrived in Seattle needing a positive result to have any hope of sustaining their unlikely late playoff charge. Instead an oddly listless 3-1 loss left them on the outside looking in. If the first half hour of Saturday's game between the two looked like a continuation of that disappointment it wasn't because Dallas were equally…
