    He's just pissed he can't score here. Saturday: 1v1 against a second year professional and his shot gets blocked.

    Di Vaio was right, though. Our players (the Americans) are way behind most pro's in Europe when it comes to tactics. This stuff can't be taught at the pro level like in other sports. It has to be ingrained in you over a long period of proper training. MLS coaches don't have the time and a lot of American MLS players don't have the technical abilities to even begin to try it. Thankfully, the latter is slowly begin to change.

    Very true, but look what happened when TFC tried "European" tactics. It really isn't that easy I guess.

    Some team should try to bring in Ruud Gullit. I bet his European pedigree would work here.....

    MLS offers a variety of tactics. Last year you had the Galaxy playing Chelsea light and the Rapids playing direct and RSL with more ball control.

    Perhaps every team is using the same tactics against Toronto.

    It's always the same question: would Barcelona look like crap if all of their opponents played like them?

    The dude is 36 years old, he should have joined MLS 6 years ago. End of the story.

    I've heard Andrew Wenger has been doing a bunch of studying on Montreal history and culture... maybe he should start a book club with Di Vaio, Nesta, & Saputo and their first book should be the Beckham Experiment.
