Rolling right along with our grisly task, it's

Alas, poor Hejduk! I knew him, Horatio, a
fellow of infinite step-overs, of most abysmal crossing. He
hath lunged in like a hack a thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Quite literally, actually. So...

Hmmm. Following on from last week's third-party questioning
of Preki comes this bit from a "very well
connected fan of Chivas USA." (hat tip to duNord)... He really was a limited coach. He never bridged a link to Guadalajara. He didn't care to add...

Sadly, my viewing of the semi-final matches was
limited this weekend. I planned to watch the Galaxy-Dynamo
match before hitting the road Saturday morning, but the delayed kickoff and power outages meant I only caught the first half before hitting...

Sorry for the delay and the abbreviated nature
of this post. I've been on the road all
weekend, and I'll put something together after the Denmark match that will address what we learned from the two matches. Until then, just a few quick hits about...

A week's worth of anonymous internet polling have
left us here, with two candidates remaining in the
Next Coach Cup. Both have had relatively smooth paths to the final, though you've got to wonder if the combination of ABMOD and Benny's fragile...

he can't run an offense, can't start the right
forwards, can't put in the right forwards, can't find the right forwards, can't keep a roster consistent, can't keep his players healthy, and only...

Now tell me truthfully. What is your abiding
image of the first round of the MLS Cup
playoffs? Is it Schelotto steaming on the bench in Salt Lake? Maybe Onstad "chesting" Flopping Fredy? Perhaps Ching's flying finish? Not me. I'll go with Mike...
