Through the lens of stand-up comedy, The Cooligans deliver hilarious takes on American soccer that are refreshing and fun and make fans of MLS and US Soccer enjoy the league much more than they ever thought they could.

We just learned that Borussia Dortmund's team bus suffered an attack by explosive and after we learned that no life was lost and there were no serious injuries, our obvious question was, "Is Pulisic okay?"

Bastian Schweinsteiger is coming to MLS! He will be joining the Chicago Fire and some people are saying this is a bad decision because he's too old and those people are right. Some people are also saying he won't help the team, and they would be wrong. It's going to be great for the Fire and the MLS to have Basti out there. Let's just hope he can keep up with David Accam during training. ATL v CHI, 4-0 - Josef Martinez is the best player in MLS, soft red card on Johan Kapelhoff COL v MIN, 2-2 - Minnesota gets a point!
