    I'll be away for a few days. Perhaps someone can post LB's follow-up SI article when it appears.

    Who-steen-o

    That's how you pronounce this guy's name, Justino Compean.

    Who is he? Quite an influential person, actually. He's the Mexican Soccer Federation president and good friends with US Soccer President Sunil Gulati. The two have forged a meaningful relationship between the two federations and matches like February's US-Mexico game will likely be a regular occurrence just as Mexican club games in the U.S. will as well.

    Anyway, he's the topic of my upcoming SI.com column. Look for that sometime tomorrow.

    Whether this high-level relationship interests you or not, it's important, and it's definitely one of the driving forces that is reshaping the US soccer landscape, with implications at all levels of the game.
