Interesting read from West Virgina

Cheat Lake Soccer Association. Thats hilarious name for a youth soccer organization. And I would love to know how that lake got its name, gotta be a great story.

You mean two first year expansion teams suck?! No way! What a moron. Expansion teams almost ALWAYS suck. I think it shows how far MLS has come since the Fire entered the league. That truly was a joke. I think it bodes well that established teams are far better and you actually have to BUILD a team now.

Good article....Regardless of what people think of the Mexico NT, it's nice to see one of its members want to give MLS a chance..... and think it good enough for him as a bridge to Europe.... If he were to succeed, maybe other players do so as well, perhaps to the benefit of Chivas USA popularity among Chivas fans both here and in Mexico....

You noticed where that paper was from didn't you? Rochester...of course folks there are going to make comments like that....

DC brass can bitch all they want about Lalas' comments regarding Freddy. But at least Lalas is keeping Freddy in the news...
