    I realize his rationale, but the fact that the refs are calling everything like it's elementary school means we should play on the front foot all the time; we have pound-for-pound more technique and...

    "By all accounts?"

    Be serious son. Cashley's not coming to MLS. His agent has been floating this for three seasons now without success.

    Kantari is on $300,000 a season, or something ridiculous like that. So he should be gone, as I highly doubt he'll renegotiate to less than half of that, which is what a backup defender in this league...

    And in the end the same may be true of Vanney. There were some worrying signs it went deeper, however. Am I the only one who got zero motivation sense from the guy? Kreis at least comes across as...

    At any given time, there are a hell of a lot more unemployed (or underemployed) coaches than employed. It shouldn't be that hard. Then again, neither should be checking player pedigrees.

    Zambrano wants back in. Don't know whether his MLS 1.0 experience is good enough anymore. Certainly has always done well.

    NCAA rules need to change. Right now, they can sub in and out whenever, so their players just run constantly at their man mark instead of keeping shape. That's why MLS is so chaotic; no on marks...
