The California Victory, who now have a 4 GAME UNBEATEN STREAK are set to start a hectic, and frankly, completely insane, journey over the next couple of weeks.
But first, congrats to the Vic’s, who played in their first Lamar Hunt US Open Cup game 6/12. They defeated BYU 2-1, and for their next Cup game [...]

It was an evening of several missed opportunities, tired legs, and a bizarre pitch invasion, as the California Victory was held at home by the Minnesota Thunder 0-0.
The Vic’s had an astounding number of corner kicks in the first half, and Ricardo Sanchez nearly scored in the 5th minute. Taking the corner from the right [...]

I’m still in shock this morning, but it’s a fantastic shock, as the California Victory upset #1 ranked Vancouver Whitecaps 1-0 yesterday. The Vic’s defense looked about 900% improved from their past few games, and goalkeeper Eric Reed made some fantastic saves.
The Vic’s goal came just before halftime, as Ricardo Sanchez launched one of [...]

So Laurie, to answer your question, yes I have checked out the USL Live Broadband. Shame on me for not wanting to sit in rush hour mid-week traffic on the Bay Bridge, and trying to watch the webcast of the Victory/Charlston Battery game instead. But unfortunately I wound up wanting to throw my computer out [...]

It was cold, slightly raining, and when the Seattle Sounders scored only 10 seconds into the match- it looked like we were in for a long, tough night.
But despite losing 2-1 to Seattle, the California Victory looked remarkably improved, and at times, controlled quite a bit of the action.
Of particular note was standout Hugo Castillas. [...]

Well, it may turn out to be another rough night for the Victory, as we host Seattle tonight. The Vic’s lost last night 2-0 to the Portland Timbers, they are probably a bit worn out from back to back games, and yes, it will only be around 50 degrees tonight in SF. Brrrrr.
But never fear; [...]

Watching the Champions League final this week, I was reminded of another big rivalry. All the build-up, the trash talking, the final preparations. Yes, it’s distinctly familiar. The Portland Timbers, and….well, actually, just about anyone else that they happen to play. Don’t get me wrong, the dedication of the Timbers Army is all cute and [...]
