Taka and Mark Pais talk Open Cup and playing their old teams.
“To me Open cup is kind show case for all the players especially lower division players. It’s a great opportunity to prove yourself to show your capability. And lots of lower teams defeat higher teams that’s beauty of football too. For our organization [STLFC] it’s great opportunity to display who we are to all the…

Akron Ohio 2011
They were a great team. National Champions. Led by Caleb Porter (Portland Timbers) he coached a who’s who of the future of American soccer. He was so well thought of he was about to try to get the US team to qualify for the olympics in Nashville. On that 2011 Akron team, defending NCAA champions…

Keep The Faith
Goals will come. Wins will come As a Manchester United fan I write this knowing full well that it is easy to be a fan of a team that wins more than its’ fair share. Most of you reading this will support a variance of Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern, Barca, Real and <insert European powerhouse team>…

How was your week?
Ours was pretty great no? I’d say it was probably the best week for soccer in St. Louis in at least a decade, probably longer. Since the heyday of the Steamers and Ambush. The first 2 Saint Louis games and a US national team game in our own back yard. Not too shabby I’d say.…

Brilliant
“The support shown by St. Louligans on Saturday was outstanding once again. Some people might be surprised by such a strong supporter presence at a preseason friendly, but that’s what we’ve come to expect from the Louligans.” ~ Tom Rodgers, Communications, Saint Louis FC Seriously, how great was Saturday? The result wasn’t obviously, but everything else…

#BuiltForMLS
I hate it. I hate everything about it. Not the MLS itself, but the pandering to it, the race to join the league. From the Sacramento hashtag of #BuiltForMLS which I find insulting to the league they are in, to Louisville Coopers describing MLS as the nirvana of American soccer, can we just take a…

Saint Louis State of Mind
I think we can all agree that local is best. Be it small scale shopping as opposed to Walmart or a small independent local brewery instead of Inbev. We all know what the right thing to do. After the explosion of the “greed is good” in the 80’s to the global marketplace of the 90’s,…

Schedule overview
So another major announcement today for Saint Louis FC with the unveiling of our inaugural schedule. We’ve been waiting a good long time with baited breath, ready and waiting to plan road trips, tailgates, viewing parties and the like. Realistically, with the conferences split in two, and the extra 3 local rivalry games, the only realistic…

Scarf Time!
It’s scarf time. For those of you that are soccer fans, you know the importance of the scarf to the culture of supporters. For those of you new to soccer, you may wonder why scarves are a thing (especially when it’s 100 degrees in the summer), but trust us- you need a scarf. It’s like…

5 lads from Saint Louis.
I get it. The irony isn’t lost on me. I’m English, the England team are about to play another CONCACAF minnow in Belo Horizonte. The story of 1950 and the USA’s unlikely win against England is well known, but is only half known. It should be as famous as the Lisbon Lions. However, outside my…
