  It’s Monday, so that must mean a soccer riot in Bolivia. This is actually from almost 10 days ago, but really, once you find a soccer riot with a stoning in it, is it ever too late to post it? Best we can tell this is Ciclon v. Wilstermann . Wilstermann scored late to level the match at 1-1. So Ciclon fans ...

  Pitch Invasion — Authority: 527
  So says L.E.

  Pitch Invasion — Authority: 527
  I’ve only selected two more Major League Soccer head coaches in my life than most of this column’s readers have, so please take this coach hiring how-to column with a shaker full of sodium chloride .  I generally believe that coaches should be given the benefit of time as stability is a huge benefit to a team ...

  Pitch Invasion — Authority: 527
  Photo via Al Santos/DC Sports Box If you are one of those American soccer fans who, in the post-MLS Cup lull of the last few weeks, watched the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s ‘College Cups,’ I’m sorry.  I fear that the games were the types of rough defensive affairs that won’t deter soccer ...

  Everton hope to complete the signing of Landon Donovan on loan from Major League Soccer’s L.A Galaxy, a move which has generated plenty of excitement among North American soccer fans.

• ESPN, the World Cup and MLS in 2010

  
  Pitch Invasion — Authority: 527
  The love-hate relationship American soccer fans have with ESPN is legendary. The sports television behemoth (and I’m not sure even that word captures how much ESPN bestrides the world of American sports in the 21st century) is at once derided (too dumbed down in its coverage; too focused on the Beckham-cam) and ...

• A Brief Word From US Soccer

  
  Pitch Invasion — Authority: 527
  I love US Soccer Federations press releases. I have every sympathy for why America’s governing body cannot reveal much information on private and legally sensitive ongoing disputes, but there’s something about the dry and cryptic teasers of information that amuse me to no end. Consider today’s official ...
