Just when you think the MLS Discipline Committee isn’t going to strike this week, the hammer comes down and comes down hard. MLS DC has suspended FC Dallas midfielder Brek Shea for three games and fined him an undisclosed amount for deliberately kicking the ball at an assistant referee in the 24th minute of the game…[continue reading]

Brek Shea Now A DP


I forget to pimp out my work at other outlets but this one seems like a really good discussion piece considering the fact that when the “Young DP” rule came out, the league made it sound like Americans wouldn’t be eligible for it. Very, very interesting details dropped today (thanks to ESPN Insider Brent Latham).

I don’t really know a lot about those things.I don’t think it really surprises anyone because he is such a good player. I’m sure there are other players on our team that those type of conversations occur. Right now, Brek is part of FC Dallas. We’re looking for Brek to be a continuing part of FC Dallas, so for us to talk about transfers, it’s really a waste of conversation.

I’m like most down here in Dallas that cover the team, you know Shea will get sold eventually to a club overseas but it won’t be anytime in the immediate future. Yes, he’s doing well on the National team…[continue reading]
