DO YOU REALIZE
FC Dallas has lost only 2 league games this season, and none since late May. Yes, the 9 ties are killing them, but they are not far off the mark of doing some serious damage. Could they be this years Real Salt Lake (who they beat 2-0 just three weeks ago?)
QUOTE OF THE DAY
Houston Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear on the quality of the referee in their Superliga Semifinal game last night: “I know the circus was here a couple of weeks ago, but I think they left some people behind to referee this game."
THIS IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
Nathaniel Baker of American Soccer News on the Seeing Red podcast was commenting on the retirement of both Clint Mathis and John Wolyniec (and I paraphrase): "If Mathis had Woly's heart and determination he would be as big as Landon Donovan."
WHY?
Mike Woitalla of Soccer America looks at the troubling story of Freddy Adu. Who knows what went wrong?
