    Anybody see it? It was pretty good. Talked about how important he is to the team and how many yellow cards he has been piling up. According to him there's much more dribbling in MLS as compared to the English game so is still adjusting his Tackling Finn style to such a target rich environment. Clarke and Kreis also got face time for their comments about Valakari. Clarke saying he needs to learn the game here and the refs. Kreis saying they liked his aggressiveness and the team would just need compensate during his periodic suspensions.

    I did see it and it was very good. Good for ch 8. What is the e-mail address. I too believe that if more of us reply to these few reports, more will come.

    Props to the Burn front office for this. It's probably very difficult to convince Ch. 8 to do this kind of story. And I wouldn't think Ch. 8 thought of it themselves, it probably required the Burn to convince them to do it.

    I sent them this because I was so delighted about the story:

    "Wow! What a great segment on the Dallas Burn's Simo Valakari. Fans refer to him as "The Tackling Finn".

    I rarely watch channel 8 sports because soccer is almost never mentioned and rarely is it mentioned with respect, I was lucky to have seen this segment.

    As a result of this segment I will be doing two things:

    1] Watching Channel 5 news and sports more often

    2] Telling my friends about it


    By the Way - DC United and teenage phenom Freddy Adu will be back in town July 24 (two weeks from now). Maybe Dale Hansen could do a count down to Freddy's arrival each day?"

    I hope you actually wrote that you would be watching channel 8 more often, not channel 5!
