    Withpout trying to hijack this thread:

    I'm guessing he "hard to imagine" title is referring to DC not disciplining Stoitchkov. MLS may yet have a say - Reckless - Obviosuly. Intent to injure - No. Being in tears after the injury probably means he didn't mean it. Accidents happen. Terrible accidents happen. We're not talking Roy Keane here.

    I would like to shake Brian McBride's hand one day. Segroves usually calls things the right way, but his anti-McBride just continues to fall flat. Unless of course its all hubris.

    And how about those Revs - knocking in 3 goals in their "home" game. Never under-estimate home field advantage :)

    McBride for Prez! (in 2008)


    Also, found this from the North Jersey Herald

    In the development proposal, the 42-acre site would be home to the professional soccer team's Youth Development Academy, two practice fields, and home offices. Some departments would later move to Harrison, where the team's soccer stadium is being built. The $80 million stadium, on the banks of the Passaic River, will have 25,000 seats and may be ready by 2005.

    Wow, getting a little ahead of themselves, aren't they? Something we all missed?

    It's hard to get their links to work. When you get the paper's website up, click on sports, then, on the left side, click on soccer. You'll get the story there.

    It's a bit of a pain, but there seems to be nothing our news-finders can do about it.

    or you could copy the link into your browser, deleting the space that is inserted into the link and delete the "< / br>" (there is no space in the quote though)

    From the Pasadena Times article:

    "It's unfair to suggest that MLS is a stronger league than the Mexican first division.

    MLS has the luxury of squeezing all of its talent into a 10-team league, and Mexico spreads its wealth among more than 20 first-division clubs."

    I am not trying to start a discussion as to the competitiveness of the two leagues. This is an arguement from an uninformed writer. If you look at the rosters, how many of the players on the MLF are Mexican? How many are foreigners? To say that the league is weaker because there are more teams is stupid. Is the MLS stronger than the Premiership because they have 10 teams compared to 20? According to this guy, lets just have one team per country and put the best players on it, oh wait, we do it is called the national team.

    From the New Jersey Herald News:

    "Meanwhile, the Manchester United vs. Juventus game July 31 has sold more than 50,000 tickets, according to Zoffinger.

    The rest of the schedule has not been released, but Peru and Ecuador are likely to square off at the stadium in early June. Manchester United also will play in a second game at the Meadowlands sometime this summer."

    Who is the second game against? Metrostars?

    Personally, I don't recall anyone saying that MLS was a stronger league than MFL. Would be nice if we were, but I wasn't aware that it was even an open question.

    i generally forget to mention the "< / br>" because the way i do it results in only the space

    i tend to copy the link into an aim window and the space shows up but not "< / br>"

    "Commitment to his team means world to Mcbride."

    Boys and girls, let me introduce you all to the USMNT's next Earnie Stewart and my new favorite american player...Brian Mcbride. this guy has a heart of gold and although i was secretly hoping he was going to stay at Everton to continue giving our players here a good rep, i'm very happy to have him back.

    Wow! 4 percent voted on the stadium improvements, with the Yes side getting about 2 1/2 percent from the student body. Way to go! Way to win an election! I can imagine a tear welling up in the eyes of the Shrub* as he recalls his election landslide.

    Yes, only having 10 teams is a luxury. That's why MLS folded them, so that it could have a luxury. It was the soccer version of trading a Ford Taurus for a BMW.

    The article did note that this was what they considered a high turnout for what is essentially a glorified online poll.

    Call me a sentimental old doofus, but it occurs to me that Brian McBride never had the opportunity to represent the US in the Olympics...

    I know we have enough young firepower up front, but anybody else think it'd be nice to see Bake as one of our "overage" players in Athens?
