    Interesting article. Very insightful to Agoos' thoughts on MLS, the USMNT and the sport as a whole. A good read.

    Great article! Here is one of the question/answer:

    "How tough has it been on your personal life living on one coast and playing on another?

    It’s actually been very difficult. There’s been several relationships that haven’t worked out because of different coasts. I had a five-year relationship ended because she was on the East Coast and I was on the West Coast. So I’ve made many sacrifices. That’s part of it, and I guess if it was the right person things would be different. It’s part of making the sacrifice to do what you love, and that’s part of it."

    In some respects, you can see why some of the fringe players leave the league. It can't be hard chasing a dream, and after a while, it probably just not worth it...
