Re: Evidence of a Central Midfield

good read. thx.
I have always wondered about Torres and Clark or Torres and Feilhaber.
But bob is so defensive minded its downright scary. To me you have to able to creat offense to take pressure off the Defense. And if you cant create offense, no matter who is in our back line or in goal, your gonna get scored on.

When I think of the bad crests in MLS three teams come to mind. The Rapids, The Wizards and the Revs.
I dont think these teams need to change their names only their crest.

Even though we support our respected MLS team, I think this trournament is a joke.
How can any team from North American compete with Mexican teams? Its not even fair, they have more money to spend and better roster.
I would be surprised if a mexican does not win this tournment each year.
I wish there was a better tournment MLS teams can play in, we shoul stop superliga and concacaf champions league. Or still have Champions league and leave mexican teams out let them go to south america.

salaries and roster limit needs to be pushed up.

also something has to be done about the youth.
some how they need to get some playing time.

"PSG's manager, Antoine Kombouaré, isn't completely convinced that Donovan could help the club."

If the manager thinks that Donovon cant help, whats the point of going there?

This question have been answered before, its not because torres is young or he does not have the skills, its because it does not fit into Bob's plan. He wants everyone out there to be defensive minded, and if you put torres out there hes more of an attacking mid not like edu, clark or Bob Jr.
I hate that we always play these counterattacking games.
Imagine if our mid-fielders could control the ball and the possesion, how much better out Back line would look. Seems like every game I watch out backline is under so much pressure i'm surprised we dont get scored on more.

Re: San Antonio MLS Rumors Surface

I hope you know that San Antonio is not a mid-size city, its in the top seven in population.

But I always wondered why SA never had an MLS team.

I dont think there are any maketing effort made for the CCL. I live in Cincinnati and I never hear anything about the Crew. Any way I think these CCL problem could be solved by a higher Salary and a deeper roster.
I still watched my Crew beat PR and I watched about 60 minutes of the DC game. DC just looks slow out there. How can they not be I think half of their starting 11 is over 35.

Re: Cooper Departure Represents MLS Reality

Nice read but
" MLS is still light years away from being able to compete on anything approaching a level playing field with other leagues around the world."
Everyone already knows this fact, it does not need to be repeated. I think eventually the time will come when MLS can offer a fair salary to American players, maybe 10 years down the road.

Re: Cooper Leaving After All?

ggj — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:00:18 -0000

I dont knw why they would reject it, I assume might as well get something out of the thing, because hes gonna be leaving for free come january.

Good luck to cooper

I am still surprised that San Antonio does not have a MLS team, being one of the biggest cities in the US and only having NBA as its lone professional sport. I think it would be wise for an investment in south texas.

Re: USA-Mexico: ESPN v. Telemundo

ESPN is a bitch,
They think they can do what ever they want, I think its time that another sports broadcasting media starts taking stuff away from ESPN.

Re: A Donovan Transfer Rumor (Finally)

I just hope he ends up somewhere, where he can get some playing time.
I don't think with his work ethic and a knack for the ol' onion bag, that it would be a problem.
