Crazy that eight USMNT starters tonight came through three MLS academies, and all of them have moved abroad: Dallas: McKennie, Pepi, Reynolds Philly: Aaronson, McKenzie, Trusty NYCFC: Reyna, Scally

Give props to Hudson, Batson, the USMNT squad for recruiting Balogun to the point where he seems close to making the leap But Southgate deserves props too. We don't always benefit from this type of anti-recruiting effort from an opposing manager.

Duncan McGuire and Sam Vines need to form a support group.

Don't they know that they're just supposed to slap an "FC" on there, because England?

and just a week after the Fire jettisoned Xherdan Shaqiri, you can't please these people
