I think Sean has a good list here, and I'm glad he got the IU championship in there. I was a grad student there for 6 years, and the talent Jerry got to go there was absolutely amazing. I say this because the team got NO LOVE from any local press. Unless you were a soccer nut, you'd never even know they had a great team. I knew people who'd lived in Bloomington who didn't even realize we had a team. Who won more NCAA championships at IU Yeagley or Bobby Knight? Did Jerry Yeagley ever try to strangle his players?
New Investors I think the adding of new investors to MLS is one of the biggest of these top ten. It's a very good sign for the league.
even though Bruce Arena wasn't an event in 03, having him as manager has to be one of the best things for us soccer, and something no one else thinks of.
