Just some quick notes about what I have gathered from this: Highest Paid: Juan Fransisco…[continue reading]

2014 Cup vs. 2018 Cup


With this past week’s announcement from the Washington Post about the USSF possibly getting the 2018 World Cup, it has had me thinking for the last few days.

RSL solved keeper situation


A weird turn of events. Nick Rimando is headed back to Mormon Country to play with RSL. I am guessing the “future considerations” sent from New York a couple weeks ago to RSL were sent back just as quick. This is all in large due to Scott Garlicks retirement a couple days ago.
