I didn't give them the answers they wanted so they cut out 99.9% of what I said. Either that or they thought I was too ugly or too boring. Maybe all those things.

I was quoted a bit more in the Pioneer Press front page on Wed. who actually didn't follow the same old routine questions of: "Will this finally change soccer's popularity in this country" Yawn!

As to Roh, he's also been giving Wambach and Rapinoe high grades on his player ratings.

I watched this again and the beginning says it all: "It has just as many ups and downs as baseball or football." Now, I get it that soccer is not in the public consciousness in the same way baseball is, but this level of introduction is simply ridiculous and insulting.

Did you read that FC Tampa just brought in their third new player to build up the weak parts of the team as they claw their way back up into the middle part of the table. Two of the players who are loan players from MLS teams which they do have to pay their salaries for their use while in NASL...

Did you catch that risky commitment by a new NASL team owner? The one that also pays for our own NSC MN Stars team to be included in this first year of the new NASL league. Yep, he is a very bad man that Andrew Nestor.

And FC Tampa did end up sending Omar Judone a check for $12.36 to buy out the rest of his contract, which is about what a player with one Palestine NT cap is worth after all. Yep, those two former FC Tampa players agents did a great job for those two players, one has now retired altogether from soccer and the other will never again step onto a NASL team field after being terminated and being forced to be bought out after the NASL league had to step in.

I wonder how it would effect IMS if the NASL league censored articles and banned bq from posting every time he reported one thing wrong on his blog?

What is the old saying: What goes around...

I wonder why more owners don't give more interviews to blog reporters that are just following up on confidential private league leaked info on their teams?

I look forward to the day when a soccer fan asked this question takes the route Billy took when Uncle Nutsy asked for his last name... Yes I am joking but still that question and approach to soccer coverage is old and outdated... Isn't saying something is "old and outdated" unnecessarily repetitive?

We all know what you think about believing in the FC Tampa team and owner Superchatter... laugh

The NASL has eight teams and four of them needed help from Traffic to get the league going in its first year. Yep, I'm going to criticize the three real paying owners that are taking a huge risk just so we all have D2 games to go watch in our hometowns...

Isn't it about time we get to hear some dirt on the Edmonton owners? I hear they have asked the players to stop saying "ahe" at the end of every sentence...

That's because it's now a well know fact among all fans.

His "preview" was all his own expert analysis and thought... He called her washed up without any real reason to do so, or any real inside knowledge as to why she should not have been on that team, that's now pretty funny you have to admit. grin
