MLS has suspended Dallas goalkeeper Dario Sala for the first 6 games of next season for his sucker punch on Colorado's Hunter Freeman following the Dallas loss to Colorado last Saturday. The league also suspended Chivas USA midfielder Juan Pablo Garcia for 2 games for his nasty tackle from behind on Houston's Brad Davis after the final whistle had blown in their match last weekend. MLSnet has a full run down including video clips of these incidents and a couple other moments of less egregious conflicts that resulted in fines to players and coaches. Can someone tell me how Mike Petke did not get a suspension?

Yes, finally, Gibbs is able to start training. I realize it will be a while before he will start a match, but he will be helping the Addicks defense get better just by practicing.
And the Addicks will climb off the bottom of the table -- starting with the match at home against Man City. Sorry Captain American and DMB. It will be death Valley for you and Mr. Pearce.
Go CAFC!
