MLSnet.com site redesign
MLSnet.com has been redesigned. I like the subtitle of the article: New, improved features keep MLSnet.com as nation's leading soccer Web site. There's nothing like good old-fashioned humility, proclaiming themselves the #1 US soccer site! Personally, I am not yet convinced that the changes are anything more than aesthetic (the site really does look better); at first glance, the functionality has not been improved.

The daily news
Lonestar rivals hook up in Houston (You can see the official MLS preview here.) This should be good one to watch. While this game hardly has the status here as the annual Texas-Oklahoma football game (or the Ohio State-Michigan game in my home state), games like this between two teams within a several hours' drive of each other always have a fun intensity to them, due to the mitigation of the home field advantage.
Site search for MLS team shifts to suburbs News on a possible expansion team in Portland
Pro soccer could return to Bay Area in '08 Portland isn't the only city vying for a team; San Jose wants theirs back.
U.S. Soccer hopes to keep rolling OK, so this isn't MLS news, but it relates to the USMNT, so it warrants a link here.

The daily news (and views)
$35 million bet on pro soccer An MLS expansion team in Vegas?
Crew cruise past Michigan Bucks Of USL Premier Development League, 3-0, Wednesday
Toronto FC missing slew of players
Thin squad for Galaxy this weekend I'm starting to see a pattern here.
I haven't quantified the results, but when doing searches on MLS, it's surprising how many of the results mention Beckham. Here are a few (and I do mean a few!) of the headlines:
Beckham could play for Premiership again Headlines like this beg the question: so why did he leave the Premiership in the first place?
Schwarzenegger, Beckham in US kangaroo skin row Apparently the issue is over the legality and ethics of wearing cleats made of kangaroo skin, and somehow the author found a way to fit Beckham into the story.

Today's news and views
YouTube and Major League Soccer team up for strategic content and advertising partnership MLS and YouTube have "announced a strategic content and advertising partnership that will see MLS game and featured highlights uploaded on a dedicated channel, www.youtube.com/mls". Considering the popularity of YouTube, this is good news for MLS.
Drew Carey to Play U.S. Soccer Stars in FIFA 07 Drew Carey v. Landon Donovan. Should be interesting.
Lalas, Galaxy make plans to juggle Beckham's schedule "Galaxy president and general manager Alexi Lalas already has tripped the sensitive wires of the English media with an offhand comment in a BBC radio interview. Lalas said he's thrilled to see Beckham get a call back to the English national team but hopes he'll be called for "appropriate" or "competitive" games." And this is news because...? Love him or hate him, Lalas has a hard-earned reputation for being, shall we say, rather blunt when it comes to airing his thoughts and opinions. (Here's the Guardian article mentioned in the USA Today version.)
Beckham Will Be Frustrated In The USA Yet another perspective on the Beckham move.

Daily news and views
Dynamo to visit White House, President Bush, to commemorate 2006 MLS Cup championship According to the article, this makes them the second team to visit the White House in celebration of a victory.
L.A. set to face Scotland's Rangers LA v. Glasgow Rangers FC. Should be interesting, though it is certainly not the first time that an MLS team has played a team from the other side of the pond. My favorite statement in this article: "The prestige of Rangers wasn't lost on Galaxy head coach Frank Yallop either". It's one of those odd understatements that reporters are fond of making, things like, "You just won the Super Bowl. How does that make you feel?" I'm just waiting for someone, one of these days, to reply with, "Horrible! I'm so disappointed that I just won the championship!" The game is tonight. Should be good if you're able to catch it.
