    He is still only 31 years old. Frank Simek was in the reserves around that time as well.

    Yep. We had two young defenders at Arsenal and one at Liverpool all around the same time, all the same birth year. All three had their careers heavily affected by injury...

    Patrick Ianni:

    The ex-Flame and Bruins player has been conducting sessions — with teams and individuals — for a long time. But when the year started, Ianni felt his calling was to teach soccer players on a full-time basis.

    “There was a transitional period,” explained Ianni of his life after his pro career. “I thought I had a good plan. I wanted to go into the business world. But I quickly figured out that I wanted to be on the field full-time.”

    Can you sign a player up twice as a homegrown. Or was he not one at first?

    Guessing he wasn't found guilty of those charges a while back.

    That's not a requirement here. Just wade in and start complaining about snubs or something. ;)

    Yomba's early professional years have not, I would imagine, gone as planned, but it sounds like he wanted to move on and try his luck elsewhere (and the team was happy to let him go). As a benchwarmer on a second team, I guess it's hard to find much fault in that:

    In terms of his release from his contract, Yomba said that it was a mutual termination, mainly for the betterment of his career.

    As a Georgia native, does he try to latch on with Atlanta and maybe get loaned out for the rest of the season? Of course, that could theoretically happened this year and hadn't.

    Conor Doyle has been loaned from the Rapids to the USL Switchbacks. He's after making a bunch of appearances for Derby County right out of high school, he's never been able to lock down a regular starting gig as of age 24. He still has time, certainly. In the few times I've seen him he's certainly looked like a pro, but he hasn't beaten down the door, so to speak.

    During his time w/DCU, he looked like a serviceable role player...just not sure what that role might be.

    Not trying to be snarky; I hope he finds a home. He's certainly a serious professional with some genuine talent.

    Not happy news:

    Kellen Gulley, 22, of Clinton and a former player for Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire, was charged with multiple counts of possession of illegal narcotics with intent to distribute while in possession of a firearm.

    Gulley is "believed to be a significant dealer of marijuana, powder cocaine, and codeine syrup in Clinton and other portions of the metro area," according to a press release issued by the city of Clinton Monday.

    I remember waking up crazy early to watch those 2000 matches at Summers in Arlington, Va. Pretty sure Arena and Rongen were spotted holding court at the bar for the USA-Spain match...

    On a recent episode of The Play podcast, Bobby Warshaw had Dax McCarty and Stephen Keel on to discuss training ground fights/confrontations. Dax tells a story around the 30 minute mark about how Michael Bradley and Gabe Ferrari got into a fight before the Canada U20 WC. Thomas Rongen told the team he was really glad because in his experience, that meant they would have a good tournament.
