Toux Bad

by on October 28, 2010 | Add A Comment

In what is probably the second worst miscarriage of justice involving both soccer and a French person, Sebastien Le Toux has been left off of the short list for MLS MVP.  Edson Buddle of the LA Galaxy, David Ferreira of FC Dallas, and Chris Wondolowski the of San Jose Earthquakes are the final candidates. Even with our obvious pro-Union bias, no one here expected Le Toux to…

The Bright Spot: Jack McInerney

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the bright side of Saturday’s shock-to-no-one loss to the LA Galaxy.  You may have sworn that if you hear one more writer praise the Union’s “resolve” after another loss, you’re gonna punch the nearest Girl Scout.  But the resolve in this case actually led to something both impressive and more substantive: an important goal. What makes our lone goal so special is twofold. …

As was mostly expected, the Union have officially declared super-striker Sebastien Le Toux unfit for tomorrow’s match against the LA Galaxy.  The silver lining is that benching him is a precautionary measure to avoid turning what is a minor injury into a major one; Le Toux should be back in action shortly.  The challenge ahead of Nowak & company, then, is deciding what to do with our…

The Pep Talk: Union vs. Galaxy

by on April 29, 2010 | 1 Comment

Alright, Union.  Saturday you’re playing LA.  Yes, that LA, the best team in the MLS right now.  Yes, the ones who get their goals from league-leading scoremeister Edson Buddle, and their swagger from gracefully aging bendmeister Dave Beckham AND Premier League-worthy Landon Donovan.  They’re kinda good. But that is no reason to approach them humbly.  Since day one, against Seattle (compared to whom everyone is…
