Since I was slacking on posting updates over the past few days, I figured I would link a few of the more interesting stories that I came across over the break. In a big move for the reigning MLS Cup Champions, the front office resigned Chad Marshall to a multi-year contract with the Crew. Andrew Hush over at ESPN posted the second part of his interview with Clint Dempsey (Part 1 is right here), and Buzz Carrick continued his series of articles profiling the college seniors we might see in the MLS draft. Check out the lists for midfielders and defenders. O and last but not least, check out this article from Steve Davis for ESPN, profiling the power players of professional and international soccer in the United States. Davis gives us a nice glimpse of the people behind the scenes of the leagues and teams that we follow.

Good Morning, Where Have You Been?

Sorry for the lack of posts over the weekend and yesterday, I was busy trying to get my room/house into a respectable condition. And after I got tired of that, I was mainly just slacking off, and that can take a lot out of you. So let's see what I missed over the last couple of days; Maryland won its 2nd National Championship in 4 years after UNC had upset Wake Forest in the semis and Seattle prepared to make a major announcement (Welcome Sigi). Also, in the Yanks Abroad category, Heath Pearce earned a rare start, Jose Torres started in the Club World Cup, Dempsey went the full 90 again, and Bradley returned to his place in the starting lineup in Germany. Oh yeah, and Jozy put in another significant stint (33 minutes) for La Liga power, Villareal. Finally, after some dealing on Friday, it looks like some other MLS teams might be looking to make a splash on the trade market.
