Thanks much.

One of the biggest things I like about Tita is he has absolutely insisted his players be in shape. They practice together, eat together and hang around a lot with each other. They can be very patient, but the lid -- as many correctly predicted, unfortunately -- is starting to come off.

The Pats just need "O" in the front, instead of in the back plastered on poor Jesse Llamas' face as he watches the balls fly by.

Yes, it sure is nice to hear some comforting remarks from our opposition, instead of a bunch of b.s. taunting. Thanks.

Being from south central Texas for my entire soccer life and raising a kid from 5 years to 19 here, I know "Latin" players can play but that the "Latin Game" isn't always the way to go and that physical size does matter in more ways than the one which is close to Chuwy's heart.

Even "small" Latin players can contribute if they are playing on a team that has a good mix of players, my son's very successful college team had a small kid from Belize who was decent when surrounded by average to big players. But he was intimidated fairly easily, if memory serves, when confronted with a overall huge team, say like Lindsey Wilson or Life or Mobile.

And looks at MLS, there are many "small" Latin players there who are doing well, but they, again, are in a mix of medium to large players who give out as much as they are given.

Possession is one thing, but one can't win games unless you give up possession...into the net.
