Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Crew's Moreno a fit for Philly Union?

Yeah, but he'd also gone completely off the beam at Reading before he came to MLS.

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: U.S. to play friendly at Netherlands?

I do. It was absolutely shambolical.

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Rafa's job safe despite Liverpool exit

Cheers! You just summarized about 200 of my posts in one!

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Rafa's job safe despite Liverpool exit

Thanks. Leonardo has Milan on the way back, which makes me happy. They're the Italian team I root for, though not with the total passion I have for LFC. Since my first meaningful coach was a Red reserve way back when, I grew up loving the team.

I appreciate it!

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Rafa's job safe despite Liverpool exit

I believe he is, given how he always talks about not having not enough transfer money.

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Next Fire coach could be...

Good point about the defensive angle. I just recall loving his mentality and work rate as a player. From what I remember, he also was pretty good at attacking from his defensive position. He has a great overall sense of the game.

I am really sorry to hear this.

Posted Wednesday November 25, 2009, About: Next Fire coach could be...

Sorry to hear it won't be Armas. I think he would make a great coach, a la Kreis.

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Who will Philly Union draft?

It would cost them a pick, and given how Convey has fallen off the past couple of years, it's probably not worth it.

Guevera would be my first choice if I'm them. Or maybe Emilio.

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Two names on Chivas short list?

Exactly. I had read it all--just didn't want to post it all. It strikes me as typical FIFA in that they'll exert their power, but do it all as much behind the scenes as possible.

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Two names on Chivas short list?

From Wahl's column:

The contentious labor talks between Major League Soccer and the MLS Players Union are going global, but FIFA -- world soccer's governing body -- has decided not to take part, resisting a call for action against MLS and the U.S. Soccer Federation by FIFPro, the union representing soccer players worldwide.

In a high-stakes poker game involving the most powerful organization in international soccer, FIFA told SI.com that it will not interfere in collective bargaining negotiations between the MLS Players Union and MLS owners.

Thanks. I wish I had seen it so I could have gotten pissed off earlier.

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Two names on Chivas short list?

I believe that's correct, and it explains the jacket he has on in the photo.

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Two names on Chivas short list?

If so, I missed it. I've been pretty sporadic the past couple of weeks.

Posted Tuesday November 24, 2009, About: Two names on Chivas short list?

Sampson? Really? Just after we had a discussion yesterday about bringing in new blood in the form of former players, we hear that someone would think about this move.

Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: Rangers scouting Dynamo's Holden

I agree it's awful. It's also non-sensical. You take your highest paid, best known player whom many in the general public know as an MLS star and call him "a specialist." Ludicrous.

Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: Rumors surround Fire coach

I've known Kreis since he was a high school player--none of his success is surprising at all.

Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: Rumors surround Fire coach

Agreed. I didn't make it clear that I see this as a very good thing.

Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: Beckham won't own Montreal team

I agree with you in theory, but in reality we can say this all we want and RSL will still be listed as the champions. It's why I hate a playoff system.

Posted Monday November 23, 2009, About: Henry considered quitting after handball

Probably just one of those moments most people have at some point, when you're ready to chuck it all on an incredibly frustrating day.
