Revolution send #4 pick in MLS draft and allocation money to Toronto for the #1 pick.

With the 17th pick, D.C. United takes...



Taylor Kemp

Terrapin. Maryland. Sounds injury prone. Good aggressive attack, but sometimes that leads to mistakes. Great one-on-one but put into a formation and he might not be MLS ready in that respect.

A-Hole. If the ball boy is out of line then let an official handle it. Disgraceful action.

Potential team names for the Virginia NASL team are down to three:

Cavalry
Dominion
Stallions

Personally I hope it is Cavalry or Dominion. Have no idea where they got Stallions from.

My guess is Loudoun CO horse country.   Same as "Hounds" for the baseball team.    I believe they'll be playing at the same venue.

Being out here in Loudoun CO, we'd call 'em the "Studs".      :mg:

if you're going for horse country, just call them the 'trust funds'

Liverpool should probably forfeit every game until they are in League 1.

They weren't alone over the weekend.    A few of the big boys took their lumps.

Ba took a shot, didn't he?   I didn't see it live 'til he was already down (computer and watching TV is multi-tasking).   The slo-mo replay gave me the chills.
