    We better get 100 million Argentina dollars, then. We're broke, and they're rich.

    Pay up, CABJ!

    Edit: It's hard to imagine that such a proud club as Boca Juniors are so hard up for strikers that they're turning to MLS for them.

    Thanks guys, it's been great tonight. Really has. I'll be here til Thursday, and try the veal.

    How does any of that help the Union?

    player moral.
    captain's moral.
    Union look like a team that doesn't ignore their player's wants.
    player's loyalty.
    commitment.

    Your memory is spot on.

    Before settling on a final captain for the actual qualifying tournament, Caleb Porter rotated the captaincy for a bit (during camps and the playing of "warm-up" friendlies). While not Porter's ultimate choice for captain, Amobi *was* one of the players that captained some of these earlier squads.

    Thus, I presume that Porter probably also saw some of what you see in Amobi.

    I've been cooked up too long in an office with "motivational" posters all over the wall and lost all creativity.

    He is way too much of a hot head on the field. I love him as a player and the grit and hustle he has, but he has shown that red mist a couple of times and that is not what this team needs from the captain. Maybe as he gets a little mature and plays at this level a little more that gets under control and then sure give him the nod.

    But it seems that if something happened on the field, first guys in were the fightin' farfans followed by Sheanon

    Do not forget that ultra aggressive Zac MacSuplex, our goalkeeper! He was right in the thick of it, slamming a Costa Rican player to the ground last spring.

    Yeah but we did have Mondragon as a captain from the keeper spot. I tried finding the video from his time in Germany where he ran to midfield to yell at a guy who was taking to long to sub out.

    With Valdes gone, I think the armband will most likely go to Brian Caroll this year. He's a veteran player that the others look up to. If not Caroll, then it will most likely be Okugo or even Garfan, who has captained the reserve sides occasionally.

    Considering the way this team burns through captains, do we really want to go through the "LeToux leaves" soap opera again? ;):D
