    Yeah, it was during the Nike Friendlies in a game against Dallas Texans.

    Jonathan Villanueva had a pretty nice goal for Dallas in that game, too.

    I meant no offense.... I seek no trouble.... I hear what you say .... but to suppress a truth is to give it force beyond endurance.

    Any word from this side of the pond? If he's not in College Park with the Terps, odds are this is gonna happen. Anyone know if he's reported to Maryland?

    I wonder if he will be playing in the game today against Georgetown?

    According to the college board, he did not play and was not present. Anyone got an update, or am I stuck reading the tea leaves?

    Thanks, Joe, and away we go ...

    If a player's going to take a shot at playing in Europe, he should take it, and (in most cases) the earlier the better. It appears as though Villanueva will play this fall for UVA, but I assume he'll be back in Europe by next summer at the latest for another tryout or two.

    I wonder how this makes a lot of MLS All-Star players feel.

    You tell a man he is something less than a man and say it often enough, and even he will believe it. The price he pays is easy to see. The price you pay is hidden, but it is just as deep.

    With apologies ...

    Listen for the color of the sky. Look for the sound of the hummingbird's wings. Search the air for the perfume of ice on a hot day. If you have found these things, you will know.

    It's basically the Dutch version of Reading now..........except with ALOT more potential (talking about our 2 87's)

    BTW I guarantee they will be back. This is the 3rd guy they have taken from US. 2 from MLS 1 from College. (Michael Bradley-RBNY, Will Johnson-FIRE)

    This was the post that set me off - I'll dial it back now. The quotes are not courtesy of Confucius but of our own Chinese-American pseudo-philosopher Kwai Chang Caine and/or from Masters Kan and Po, two of Caine's teachers.

    Some of the quotes are actually pretty moving, but the delivery - at least as I recall it - was (unintentionally) pure comic gold.

    -----------------

    Recognize that all words are part false and part true, limited by our imperfect understanding. But strive always for honesty within yourself. {I'm still striving. :cool:}
