The Colorado Rapids acquired the 22-year-old on a one-year loan from the NASL club and played just one match in the 2012 MLS season. What happened next was magic. There is little doubt that the Colorado Rapids have picked a gem out of the NASL, as Klute began his post-collegiate career on the Silverbacks’ reserve
The New York Cosmos have stole the soccer headlines for most of the summer, but Indy Eleven is quietly putting together an organization that will be a force to be reckoned with in the NASL.

2012 has been a brilliant year for the Minnesota Stars FC. It began at the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis as the Stars took on the 2011 regular season winners, the Carolina Railhawks. The “Dome Opener” was the first chance Minnesota supporters had to parade the Championship trophy the Stars had improbably won in 2011. I say improbable because in 2011, Minnesota barely secured that last playoff spot and then went on a postseason run that would make the NFL’s New York
The North American Soccer League (NASL) has announced a change in its regular season competitive format for the 2013 season. Beginning in 2013, the NASL’s regular season will feature two separate and distinct round-robin competitions with the winners of each competition meeting in a single game on the weekend following the conclusion of the second competition. The winner of that match will claim the Soccer Bowl trophy as the NASL’s 2013 champions. The first, or spring, championship will kick off in
On the surface, Jason Garey’s Geauxing Galt is a great “rags to riches” story about a likeable, hard-working everyman that makes it big. You dig a little deeper and you have a story about good vs. evil. Wyatt Bourgeouis, a character in the vein of Horatio Alger, spends his life preparing to take on corrupt politicians like Harry Maddow. Wyatt becomes a self-made billionaire thanks to hard work and determination. But he risks losing it all to Harry, a man who has been
The last time I saw Jason Garey in Columbus, he was wearing the Black & Gold of the Crew. He was finishing up his 5th MLS season and unbeknownst to me, he soon would be plying his trade with the Houston Dynamo. The Dynamo would make it to the 2011 MLS Cup Final, but Garey wouldn’t get another championship win as the Dynamo fell to the star-studded LA Galaxy. Major hip surgery would sideline Garey for nearly 5 months. He would miss out on the start of the
The Minnesota Stars unveiled their all-new primary and alternate uniforms on Thursday night at the Brit’s Pub in downtown Minneapolis. Forwards Amani Walker and Simone Bracalello modeled the new home uniforms and defenders Brian Kallman and Justin Davis modeled the new away kits made by Admiral the official team uniform supplier.
