    San Jose defeated Portland last night 1-0 on an extra time goal from Ike Opara in US Open Cup play. The Fire will now travel to San Jose some time in May to face the Earthquakes in another USOC play in game.

    Vancouver is playing tonight ahead of the Saturday game in Chicago. They are facing Montreal in the second leg of their Nutrilite Canadian Championship playoff.

    Maybe the first team from Pachuca. It appears the team put all their players on the transfer list.

    In reply to lijien:

    I think MLS' crazy rules allow for the addition of players available via free transfer.

  • Krasny said May 4, 2011 at 12:00 am
    In reply to cesba:

    Any team anywhere can add a player via free transfer outside the FIFA-mandated window. The country-specific windows only apply to paid transfers of players currently under contract, and then only on an incoming basis.

    It may be the most misunderstood rule out there.

    In reply to Krasny:

    You are correct.

    In reply to firefan1998:

    Adam, Blanco is doing some acting back in Mexico.

    In reply to Adam25:

    its a young colombian.. i think the MLS has just decided to take any colombian prospect that didn't go to europe.
