    We just need to make a song out of it.

    I feel like the relationship between success in USL and success in MLS is unclear. There are players who are consistently good players in USL. Are they then good enough for MLS? If not, why not? I think it depends, and that's where someone earns their money - being able to distinguish between the player that's good in USL but for some reason his skills don't quite translate vs. someone who would also do well in MLS like Diego Luna.

    In 2017 Chris Wehan had 12 assists for Reno - I think that was a tie for the USL season's assists record. He played a little with the Quakes in 2018 but didn't really get over the hump. Then went to New Mexico where he's been a good player for a long time. Would he have been a useful player in MLS if given more of a chance? Maybe, hard to say. You could say the same about someone like Felipe. Judd had some nice plays in the Sac game. He also squandered some chances, but overall he clearly looked better than he has in MLS games. Is it just a sample size thing with him - do we need to see more of him in our games, or is it just that he is just good enough to be effective in USL but not so effective in MLS?

    That dance does not look at all complicated! And your fellow fans are in no danger of getting kicked or smacked. As I recall, the RSL dance is more of a modified stand-in-one-place twist. One wiggly move, no steps to learn.

    When you’re that cold (Buffalo in the winter) you should want every excuse to move around.

    Gotcha! Plus their butts are already frozen so they won't even notice when their neighbor's left foot kick ("shout!") lands there.
