Even Fire fans are down on Ante Razov for his deliberate package-spiking of the Revolutions' Jay Heaps in tonight's MLS quarterfinal. Will this display hurt his chances of rejoining the Nats, or will Bruce see this as an aberration? Will this enhance Heaps' chances of making the women's team?
Ante will be lucky to make the field on a qualifier and that would only be through injury. And his chances of playing in Germany are very little. He's a descent poacher, but he doesn't have the abilities to add something to the nats that we are likely to see from Casey, Donovan, Wolff, Mathis, Twellman, Buddle, and I'd rather see Cunningham too. I think we'll see Razov somewhere between 8th and 10th on the depth chart and doing stupid things like he did yesterday can pretty much take him out of the picture altogether.
I think Ante's National Team days are over. That doensn't mean I don't appreciate what he did for the team. But he just couldn't compete with the likes of folks like Mathis and Donovan.
I concur he is done w/ the nats... I hope it costs him a hefty (MLS) fine and a few game suspension next season.
