Not every MLS player has a film made about them, but then again not every player is as talented as Sporting Kansas City’s Kei Kamara. Dave LaMattina and Chad Walker of Copper Pot Pictures put together this short, but powerful documentary about the Sierra Leone striker that has taken MLS by storm. Over 750 people turned out for the initial screening sponsored by Sporting KC and in the process the event raised nearly $2,000 for schools in West Africa. Connecting
After a routine morning practice, several Columbus Crew players, including Copley’s own Josh Williams, took time to visit the Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus. “This is my first time ever doing this,” Williams said. “It’s awesome just to see a child’s face light up when you walk into the room.” Not only were patients treated to the sights of the Black and Gold, but they also met some of Columbus’ finest as Engine 2 firefighters accompanied members of
Eddie Johnson scored two goals, including the game-winner in the 89th minute, as Sounders FC defeated Chivas USA, 2-1, Saturday afternoon at CenturyLink Field. The brace gives Johnson 13 goals on the season, the best single-season scoring output in franchise history.

Officials were asked again about the Timbers’ interest on Akron’s media day in early August and
April 19, 2007 is a day that changed the Columbus Crew forever. It was the day that Guillermo Barros Schelotto signed with the Crew, a day where some serious hardware finally became a reality. Schelotto, arguably the best player in MLS history, joined a Crew squad in need of some star power. GBS was certainly a star in every sense of the word, a “once in a lifetime” player that would change the fortunes of the club forever. Schelotto was so good that
The Seattle Sounders FC climbed to 11-6-7 after defeating the Vancouver Whitecaps 2-0 at home. Seattle has been red hot recently; their recent slaughter of the Galaxy and their strong game against Chelsea are exciting indicators of Seattle hitting their midseason stride. The addition of Christian Tiffert, a star player from France’s Ligue 1, in place of Alvaro Fernandez (who will be missed) has helped to create some newfound, offensive firepower. Tiffert is a smart player who, along with Osvaldo Alonso, helps
