YA Premiership Appearances (1992/93 - 2007/08)

Updated to include this past season's numbers. Thanks to Numerista on Bigsoccer for originally compiling the list through 2005/6, to which I've been updating it since (so if anything's wrong, take it up with him :P). This does not include data for any seasons before the formation of the Premiership. I've also decided to leave out the non-USMNT Americans like Giuseppe Rossi.

Great US Soccer Article Collection - Download

For the past year, I've been linking to soccer articles that I feel are quality writing and/or make good points on the left side of this blog. I've also linked to a few non-soccer sports articles when they deal with the business aspect of sports. I figure, I might as well link to them because I've already read them anyway. And then as new articles are added, they fall off the list of links and that's that. Not necessarily. For the past few years, I've been keeping a Word file of some of the best and most interesting American soccer articles I've come across. I've also gone back and searched for some, like for example in Sports Illustrated's archives. This collection comes to 421 pages, featuring a lot of stuff from the pre-MLS era, all in chronological order. I think any reader of this blog would enjoy taking look at this stuff, so download it already! Download links Rapidshare or Filecrunch or Sendspace

No Playoff Appearances For Their Club

If you take a look at each of the MLS clubs, which player has made the most appearances for each team without taking the field in a playoff match? Obviously, RSL and Toronto can't take part in this post as they have yet to make the playoffs. I've also only included total appearances through 2007, because many of this year's players will in fact end up in a playoff match. What I mean is, putting in the appearances during the middle of the season doesn't seem right, since we know that in completed seasons, the player had a chance to play in a playoff game but didn't. Also, it's less work. Most Games Played Without Appearing In A Playoff Game For That Team CHI Henry Ring 39 CHV Orlando Perez 67 CLB Eddie Gaven 60 COL Scott Garlick 56 DAL Brad Davis 59 DC Brian Kamler 91 HOU Chris Wondolowski 31 KC Shavar Thomas 80 LA Gavin Glinton 61 MIA Roy Lassiter 30 NE Darren Sawatzky 55 NY Kerry Zavagnin 40 RSL xxx xxx SJ Braeden Cloutier 58 TB Jan Eriksson 37 TOR xxx xxx Ex-United player Kamler has the highest total for any team at 91 games, while Perez, Gaven, and Wondolowski are still with their clubs. Kamler was a bit player his first two years in DC (1996-97), starting only 5 times and coming on as a sub 20 times. Getting knocked out by Jake Dancy probably didn't help. Nevertheless, he came back from that mess and was a starter in 1998. However, he then hurt his foot down the stretch. He was traded halfway through 1999, and came back in another trade in 2001 but that team was horrible. So 5 seasons played with United, 91 appearances, but none in the playoffs for Brian Kamler. However, he wasn't shut out completely in his career, starting several playoff games for Miami and New England (including the 2002 MLS Cup).

May 2, 2008 - Notes

1) No, Sigi Schmid does not have 100 wins. Sure, if you count shootouts the same as regular victories. But that's a poor way of looking at it, as I've talked about many times before. If you don't change it, then you can't compare the first four seasons of MLS to the rest and the records get all out of whack. Hopefully, the more years MLS racks up, the more likely they''ll be able to see those first four seasons as different and update the historical records accordingly. Schmid only started coaching the Galaxy in the final year of the shootout, and he was only credited with one shootout win. So last Saturday's win over Houston should be considered his 99th. That may be a small difference, but whether it's one or one hundred, the issue remains the same. 2) BTW, by my count there are only 34 players who played in the shootout era (1996-99) left in MLS. All have 150+ appearances or more, except for Greg Sutton. The Canadian goalkeeper is also the likely record holder of the longest amount of time between MLS matches: 7 years. He played for Chicago in 1999 and 2000, last appearing for them on March 25th, 2000. His first appearance for Toronto last year was on April 7th, 2007. 3) The US Open Cup started for MLS this week. Well, qualifying anyway. Technically, that is different from the tournament proper. This means that I'm going to have to go into my stats and separate the number of appearances/goals between the "US Open Cup" and "Open Cup qualifying," which I didn't do last year (I should have). And since I'm doing that, I really need to make separate categories for each international tournament, rather than just a "continental" category like I've used in the past. I didn't post my lineup database here after last season like I normally do, in part because I've been wanting to make these changes for a while now. I have to update 17 spreadsheets (16 franchises plus overall) by changing from 4 categories (MLS-Playoffs-Open Cup-Continental) to 14 (one for each international competition). Not hard, just time consuming. I should note that the new CONCACAF Champions League is considered the same competition as the Champions Cup. However, the preliminary round before the group stage may pose a dilemma. It appears that it is considered part of the tournament proper, as they didn't use the word qualifying. Of course, the same stage in the UEFA Champions League is called qualifying and that data doesn't count in their official statistics. For example, Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt is listed as the 6th highest goalscorer with 5 goals, but that doesn't include his brace against Toulouse in the third round of qualifying. But I suppose it's up to the confederation to make the decision, and all the teams currently in the tournament are considered qualified, so that's what I'll go by. 4) YA of the Year (not a real award, unfortunately) has to go to Michael Bradley, right? Yanks Abroad currently has a poll running where he takes 73% of the vote. I think only Oguchi Onyewu could make a case for taking it instead. He's part of a team that clinched the league championship without a loss, and has only allowed 19 goals in 32 games. Plus, the Belgian league is not much worse than the Dutch league. I'd say Bradley probably takes it though, barring any major awards for Gooch in the coming weeks. Of course, I have to judge this without seeing either one play outside of small clips. Looking at that post, the interesting thing is that for this entire decade, a different YA has won every year. In this decade, I have the award going to Reyna, Stewart, O'Brien, Friedel, Howard, Beasley, Keller, McBride, and now Bradley (probably).

The 17 men who have played for 5+ MLS teams

Finally. It took a month, but now it's done and I can post this. I've been waiting to post the full list of men who have played for at least 5 different MLS teams (in all competitions), but I didn't want to do that until the 17th player on the verge of joining the club did it. The Rapids' Kelly Gray recently became the 16th player. However, I had to wait a while for San Jose's Eric Denton, who had been on the bench for all of their matches without seeing action. He finally started for them in last night's 4-0 loss at Real Salt Lake in the US Open Cup qualifier. I was probably the only person in America cheering for a Denton substitution while watching the Earthquakes. Players who have played for 5 MLS Teams Zak Ibsen 2001-04-07 NE, DAL, CHI, LA, SJ Pete Marino 2001-04-07 CLB, KC, TB, DC, MIA Raul Diaz Arce 2001-06-16 DC, NE, SJ, TB, COL John DeBrito 2001-06-27 NE, NY, KC, CLB, DAL Andy Williams 2003-04-13 CLB, MIA, NE, NY, CHI, RSL Manny Lagos 2004-05-08 NY, CHI, TB, SJ, CLB Ezra Hendrickson 2005-04-02 NY, LA, DAL, DC, CHV, CLB Brian Kamler 2005-04-02 DC, MIA, NY, NE, RSL Brian Dunseth 2005-04-16 NE, MIA, CLB, DAL, RSL, LA Diego Serna 2005-09-24 MIA, NY, NE, LA, COL Scott Garlick 2006-04-02 DC, TB, COL, DAL, RSL Chris Henderson 2006-04-02 COL, KC, MIA, CLB, NY Ante Razov 2006-04-02 LA, CHI, CLB, NY, CHV John Wolyniec 2006-05-13 NY, CHI, NE, CLB, LA Ritchie Kotschau 2007-06-02 CHI, TB, COL, CLB, RSL Kelly Gray 2008-04-12 CHI, SJ, HOU, LA, COL Eric Denton 2008-04-30 DC, TB, CLB, COL, SJ As of now, Gray's the only player to benefit from the Houston/San Jose ruling (they count as different franchises). Probably will be more down the road. Looking above, it's interesting to point out that three times multiple players joined the list on the same day. Of course, it was opening day for those seasons. Marino is probably the first player to do it considering that the game was in Miami, whereas Ibsen and SJ played at LA. DeBrito only played in 80 games for his 5 MLS teams, the lowest among the 17 players. His last sting in MLS consisted of one Open Cup start for Dallas. Marino's the only one close at 108. And now, the number of the 17 players who have played for each of the 16 current and past MLS teams: CLB 11 NY 9 NE 8 CHI 7 COL 7 LA 7 DC 6 MIA 6 TB 6 DAL 5 RSL 5 SJ 5 KC 3 CHV 2 HOU 1 TOR 0 Hmm, I thought New York would top the list since they've used the most players overall. Finally, let's create a separate list for the 6-team guys: Players who have played for 6 MLS Teams (also included on the previous list) Andy Williams 2005-04-02 CLB, MIA, NE, NY, CHI, RSL Brian Dunseth 2006-03-08 NE, MIA, CLB, DAL, RSL, LA Ezra Hendrickson 2006-05-06 NY, LA, DAL, DC, CHV, CLB Williams is obviously the first guy you would think of if I asked you who has played for 6 teams. He joined this list the same day his teammate Kamler joined the 5 team list above. However, Dunseth has actually been on the roster of 7 different teams, including Chivas USA before being traded to the Galaxy. I read an article about that recently which claimed it was a record, which sounds right to me. You may not remember him playing for the Galaxy as his only appearance was as a sub in the 2006 Champions Cup game @ Saprissa.

First of all, in 2001-02 SJ won 16 straight games at home, just incredible. This includes the last 2 games of the 2001 regular season, 2 home playoff games, 2 home games vs Olimpia and Pachuca in the Champions Cup, and the first 10 regular season games of 2002. Indeed, SJ's regular season home record in 2002 of 2.643 PPG (12-1-1) remains the best in league history, despite not going undefeated like their 2005 team (too many draws for that one). The thing that makes the SJ streak so incredible though, is not only the fact that they won all those games in a row but how they did it. The final tally for the 16 games was 43 goals scored and 8 against. Second, the Fire's record streak of 23 is the longest home or away streak in this post, with only 2 draws. It includes 11 games of the 2000 regular season, 4 playoff games, and 4 Open Cup games on their way to that title, as well as 4 games of the 2001 regular season.
