Here is yet another story of a guy that is passing on MLS who just finished up college. Now former Duke forward Mike Grella passed at signing a MLS contract to look elsewhere for work.

While we expect to see some draft picks traded away and clubs move above the other in order to snap the guy they wanted most early in the draft, it ended up not being the case. Both Toronto and Seattle dangled their…[continue reading]

And then there was five. Major League Soccer won’t be coming to Atlanta in 2011. Arthur Blank and his group pulled out of the expansion race today saying they couldn’t commit to play in time for the 2011 season. Honestly I never saw Atlanta as a player in this race, nor do I really see…[continue reading]
