They run it cheap and they were the model MLS 2.0 franchise. They were the team that played the best team game and played the best proper football in the league for 5 or so years. They went out and got players who had technical skill and were classier than most of MLS at that time. Now the rest of MLS has caught up to them in tactics and skill and unlike them, will spend some money. Just another team lost in the dust when a new generation of MLS growth happens. Who knows who else will fall when MLS 4.0 comes around?
