    Antonee to AC Milan is now a done deal. Over $10 million for a championship left back. Rodriguez is off to PSV which is bad for Chris Gloster's chances this season but Antonee getting this move should get him a USMNT call up if a club is willing to spend that much on him.

    Why is it, that every time we have an American defender playing for Milan, Ibra is playing for them as well?

    Here are Austria's 538 rankings
    19 RB Salzburg
    73 LASK Linz
    124 Rapid Vienna
    162 Wolfsberg
    203 Sturm Graz
    255 Austria Vienna
    310 Rheindorf Altach
    337 Hartberg
    429 Admira
    434 Mattersburg
    489 St. Pölten
    505 WSG Tirol

    Other than the top 2/3 teams, that's MLS level at best (ranging from 135 - 535)

    I would say other than Salzburg, who clearly have developed into a machine with the RB cash.............................the rest of the Austrian League is inferior to MLS. And not by a little.

    Part of their problem is the second a youngster shows a modicum of skill, he leaves the Austrian league. So they never actually do squat. They never gain any forward momentum.

    The reason we got into this discussion was solely my claim that Palmer-Brown hasn't developed in the way I'd hoped. No matter where one rates the Austrian League, I don't know how someone can argue otherwise. Unless they thought he was an Austrian League caliber player in the first place. Which would be odd considering he won Player of the Tournament at the U20 CONCACAF Championships.

    By the way, if folks want to feel depressed...................check out the roster of that team which won the U20 CONCACAF Championship. Tyler Adams is the only member of that team playing at a high level. [Well, there's Jonathan Gonzalez. But I think we can even include him in the disappointments.]

    You are missing the point. Instead of looking at the context surrounding it and his actual play on a weekly basis, you've made it a criticism of his development that he's playing in Austria.

    I don't think that's how we should go about this. As I said, we'd all have preferred a different path, but that doesn't mean he's not playing well or is developing poorly. Otherwise, every player who isn't in the top few leagues would fit into that category.

    It's hard to believe this stuff happens at the top level of the game, but it does. Bad news for Robinson. I don't think he's ever going to get a better move in his career than this.



    FC Dallas academy player, Joel Bustamante, moves to Greuther Furth U-23's.

    He was breaking some ankles out there and seemed unlucky not to win a PK.

    I thought he was on his way down before the contact occurred, but it seems like had a great performance, nonetheless.

    In his case it doesn't mean he will go all the way down, the kid has amazing balance.

    There were 3 30-minute periods. The first period looks to me like a starting XI (with Pomykal, Servania, Hedges, Jesse and Acosta all out). Note that Roberts doesn't start in central midfield even with those three out. The two other 30-minute lineups are in the column with comments. One comment from the author was that he didn't think Cerrillo did particularly well. Edwin is trying to be more versatile, however, by showing he can play farther up the field. Right now I have him firmly ensconced as 3rd string player at the #6 or the #8.

    Still never capped by either country (USA or Argentina) at any level, I believe.



    Two assists this week for Ledezma.

    Appears to be a '98, based on the fact that he's 21 and has played four years of college soccer already at Notre Dame. He's 6'7, which doesn't mean he's good (or bad), but it usually is notable when someone is that height in soccer.



    Ben Lederman has reappeared.

    I find it bizarre that a country the size of Israel even has space for three divisions.

    I'm surprised that they have three divisions not mentioning of the country while being attacked by their peaceful neighbors for the last 70 years.
